Both movies are directed and written by the same person - Arvin Chen, star Jack Yao as ML and have a similar night-time Taipei feeling to them. While Mei is a short film, Au Revoir Taipei is a more fleshed out feature film that also focuses more on comedic aspect.
Her smile so sweet has an cold female lead, in love revolution there is an cold female lead too. Both the dramas have youth and school involved, and most importantly they have romance too, this is why I think they are similar. Hope my comment helped you.
