One takes place in the 70s, the other takes place in the 80s. Both are coming-of-age dramas about pursuing dreams and ambitions, with economic reform as backdrop. Both have Li Qin as the FL.

Similarities
-Both films tackle regret set in the female lead's youth.
-Both films are incredibly nostalgic and heart-warming
-Darren Wang is in both films
-The younger female leads are very naive and can be a bit unpredictable.
-Great cinematography
Differences
-Suddenly Seventeen is way more of a fantasy than Our Times.
-The main female lead in Suddenly Seventeen mentally turns back into her seventeen-year old self whenever eating a chocolate whereas the main female lead is looking back at the regrets of her youth.
- The relationship between the male and female lead is WAY better in Our Times than in Suddenly Seventeen. Not sure if it was the acting or plot, but the main male lead appeared to care less for the female lead throughout the film.
Both films are very charming and still very enjoyable. Worth a watch!!

Other than the zombies, these two movies have a lot of similarities. The overall themes are the same, there's infection within a plane (eerily similar to the train), and the main character is a divorced father who is taking care of his daughter. Both movies are brilliant, and are filled with suspense.

Honestly, both stories are underrated and great picks for time-loop dramas. Definitely check it out!!

amazing chemistry between the main leads. Fantasy+ historical (both are costume dramas), they both have strong female leads. There is power struggle in both dramas. In both dramas the main couple is willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. In both dramas a close family member of the fl is killed and she wants revenge. In both darmas the ml is the son of a king. In both dramas the romance is developing not that slowly but not that quickly as well.

Both involve two men where one seems very suspicious and the other is convinced he is a murderer while you as a viewer is confused about whether or not he can be trusted. The dynamic is just similar. TSHLYE is romance-focused, though.

The stories are vastly different but I couldn't help but notice similarities between both dramas.
Similarities:
-The main female leads look and dress alike.
-The female leads are curious about the world but also shy (Heart to Heart's character has an actual social phobia and is WAY worse)
-The female leads knit and have a cleaning obsession.
-The romance between the male and female lead is VERY unusual and the people around them are always trying to break things off. (For the sake of the female lead)
Differences:
- Plot: Heart to Heart centers around a woman who has severe social phobia and slowly develops a relationship with her psychiatrist. Mary Stayed Out All Night is about a girl who's desperately trying to get out of an arrange marriage and gets into a fake marriage with a stranger she hits with her car...
- Romance:The psychiatrist falls and chases after the female lead first in Heart to Heart but Mary Stayed Out All Night is the other way around.
-Heart To Heart centers around the psychiatrist's job and the people they meet along the way whereas Mary Stayed Out All Night is focused on music and whether the female lead will escape the arrange marriage or not.
Both shows have a lot of charm to them and is great for a rainy day!!

From the synopsis it looked like both of them have the same underlying plot of a single mother who raised her kids abroad and came back home and meet the ml.
