This drama is about a female figure skater, Lee Haru, who is hoping to make it big. Her life gets complicated when she reunites with her step-brother, Shin Hwal, after many years of being separated. Hwal's father and Haru's mother died tragically in a car accident. Hwal and his friends; Hae Yoon, Hyun Tae, and Sang Hee all work at the same ad agency. While Haru is trying to make her dreams come true, she unintentionally brings together her skating coach, Choi Soo In, and Hwal together. Haru starts developing feelings for Hwal but things are complicated further as Soo In is her brother's estranged wife.
Both dramas are happening in the same timeline. Beginning of both stories is the year 1997.
Main characters of both of the stories are a group of friends from the high school. Another similarity is that in both of the shows main focus is on the female main character's journey to pursue her passion. In Reply 1997 that's music and in Twenty Five Twenty One is fencing. Connection between main characters and following their life journey over the years is another of the resemblance in both shows.

The general feel of the shows is very similar, firstly. It's centered around a lot of growth, and explores friendships and relationships.
The leads in both the shows have dreams that they are chasing, and they are trying to navigate their relationship along with them.
SPOILER:
The largest similarity, however, is in their endings. They separate because their timings were wrong, and they were at stages in their lives, where it was just not possible to be together, if they also wanted to follow their own paths. And so they separate. But both endings are ambiguous, and give us hope, that one day, when the time is right, they might reunite.
And I truly appreciate these endings. They're very realistic.

Both dramas are about adult life. The male leads in both dramas are calm, hardworking, and only work part-time. That's how both of the female leads meet the male leads. Instead of the male lead's family going bankrupt, in this drama it's the female lead's family. Because of a problem, the female leads in both dramas almost have their dreams taken away. The female leads in both dramas are adorable and hilarious.
