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.

They both involve a sweet relationship between a sports reporter and an athlete as well as containing themes regarding friendship .

Both are sports romantic comedies that involve fencing. Twenty- Five Twenty-One being the better written of the two.

Another mention in this drama that I liked: small amount of LGBTQ+.

Both of these dramas feature a physically-powerful female protagonist who battles fiercely with a sword, while displaying a jovial and gregarious personality when not actively engaging in a sword-fighting battle.

I THINK YOU WOULD REALLY ENJOY WATCHING BOTH, ESPECIALLY THESE DRAMAS HAVE SIMILARITIES:
1. BOTH WILL BRING YOU BACK TO THE LATE 1990s.
2. YOU WILL ALSO ENJOY WATCHING CIRCLES OF FRIENDSHIP IN BOTH OF THE DRAMAS.
3. THESE DRAMAS ALSO GIVES ME EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER.
4. THESE ARE BOTH WORTH YOUR TIME

WATCH THEM NOW!!!

24-year-old Murakami Maiko is a very sheltered girl who has never had a relationship with a guy. It is decided that she will go for a matchmaking session with someone recommended by her father Genichiro who owns a company. The man Hanasato Harumi is 20 years her senior and also a divorcee. Although Maiko is less than thrilled, she discovers when they meet that he is a charming man with an air of maturity and she instinctively makes a move on him. Harumi had intended to meet Maiko once before he turned her down since she is the daughter of the CEO of an important client. However, she turns out to be more than he had imagined. Maiko confounds him the whole time but he is attracted to her straightforward, pure, and dignified nature. He accepts the completed marriage registration form from her on their third date after she presses him for a kiss. They get married despite their 20-year age gap, and their life as newlyweds begins.
