The leads are different, yet despite their differences, they fall in love.
They are separated by fate's order and are reconciled when they are adults.
The tones are somewhat different, as le coup the foudre is fluffy and warm, yet Road home is a bit of a melodrama. Both are very romantic and swoon-worthy

Same vibe. Slow burn, that gives your heart a flutter. ML prototype kinda giving similar vibes- few words but sensible and faithful to the FL. Enjoyed both of these cdramas.

Gui Xiao and Lu Yan Chen met at school – in a middle school playground. They fell in love with one another at first sight. And as they grew older, their feelings for one another grew ever stronger. They became inseparable and hoped to spend the rest of their lives together. But life has other plans for them. Gui Xiao’s family circumstances change. And Lu Yan Chen ends up training as a special police officer – which takes him to a completely different part of the country. Lu Yan Chen’s training is tough, physical, and intense. Gui Xiao, meanwhile, ends up on a career path that will take her into the world of finance. Despite the fact that they now live in different worlds, their love is still strong – and they try to keep up a long-distance relationship. This peters out – until one day, years later, Gui Xiao finds herself with a special reason to call Lu Yan Chen once more.

On one hand the Road Home is much more cinematic, with some very beautiful outdoor shot scenes. On the other hand, the female role in Road Home is not a fully flushed out character. Her role the whole way through is to be supportive when no one else in his life is. She doesn't have the same agency as in Here We Meet again.

Synopsis

The drama tells the story of how an ordinary girl Xia Guo chooses when faced with two different choices, and what happens. The drama is presented in parallel time and space. The different choices of the heroine will lead to different endings.There are the challenges and dilemmas of the big city; but on the other hand, there is the stability and triviality of the small town. In life it is always necessary to make concessions, without fear of loss, and moving forward to embrace that sense of the "extraordinary." If life could have other versions, and the "if" could be experienced, what would it look like? The drama realizes this "if" so that the heroine experiences two lives in parallel. How she will handle those choices is the big question.

"I live elsewhere" (from original title in chinese).
