im sol is as energetic and lively as na heedo, they both give off a cute pure hearted vibe
The mls also have a similar softness and personality, though bark yejin was more mature as he was older

But the times of nostalgia and youthful energy are the same too, eventho one is a time traveling drama and the other is a reminiscing about the past

"Autumn in My Heart" and "Twenty Five Twenty One" share similarities in their exploration of deep emotional connections and personal growth through romantic relationships. Both dramas depict intense, heartfelt stories where characters navigate complex emotions, societal pressures, and personal struggles. While "Autumn in My Heart" focuses on melodramatic romance and family secrets, "Twenty Five Twenty One" combines nostalgia with a coming-of-age narrative, showcasing how love and personal experiences shape the characters' lives.

18 again is more a family genre and its a total drama with so many happy moments. I recommend it because for me while i was watching it, it was a roller coaster of emotions. I cried with it out of joy or sadness… it showed family love so well! The only reason why i recommended this is the roller coaster thing… :) and good feeling

From the same writer.
Heaps of beautifully written female characters
The dialogues are smooth.

Digitally in contrast:
WWW is more modern and 2521 is retro.

Age range in contrast:
WWW is about people who are seasoned and expert in their field, 2521 takes on the young and naive concept.

Nevertheless, they are both an encouragement dramas.

In both drama you see the characters' growth through a very realistic perspective. You may not agree or be satisfied with how things are handled especially towards the endings but you have to admire the realism.
