Înapoi în 1988 (2015)

When you step onto the island in Top Star, it's really like a blast from the past. That combined with the humor and the loving and close community relationships (and also love triangle -- meh) are similar to Reply 1988.

The story follows childhood friends who grew up in the same neighbourhood, supporting each other through life's ups and downs and learning the value of family, friendship and love.

So for the reason i did these two is because
1) neighbors
2) in the same street
3) forgot how many family living there
4) starts in the 1980s
5) it has well known actors

Both deals with parents raising kids and watching them grow and become independent. Both of their time-settings are in the past.

Same feeling. Both are about the friendship and first love in the 80's. Frozen a heart-warming movie. Both are connecting two time -present and past.

The subjects might not be the same but the two dramas have a really chill and warm vibe that makes me feel better everytime I start an episode. For those who are not especially fanof the medical stuff in Hospital playlist, Reply 1988 is made for you

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

This probably won't make sense for some since these dramas really aren't too similar. The only thing they have in common is that they are kind of slice of life and both include romance.

The reason i think you'll like them both is because they give off the same happy feeling for the viewer. I don't know how to explain it better than that really, but give the other one a try if you like one!!

If you're looking for friendship and school life, I recommend this. They both have a similar vibe when it comes to chemistry between the casts. This drama is really sweet, and the chemistry between the leads is really cute.

The two dramas have the retro theme of Korea in the eighties
the two dramas talks about youth and love relationships

Both happen in the late 80's and want to show how was life in that time

I laugh many times watching both shows. The level of comedy is just awesome.
Both have charming characters and both dramas are character-driven.
They both covers coming of age stories, their daily life's ups and downs.
Both are set in 1980s Korea, and the shows are doing a superb job in building this oldie antique vibes.

The difference: Boyhood has a bullying trope and focus only on youths relationships. Reply 1988 focus more on family relationships

I usually dislike war/action themed dramas, but Battle of Changsha is way more than just that. The drama revolves around the Hu family and their struggles. Like 1988, I came to care deeply for each of the characters. Both are more realistic/character-driven drama, though Battle of Changsha has a more serious tone to it. This was one of the first Cdramas I started to watch (bc I'm running out of Kdrama lol), but it was AMAZINGGG.

Both take place in the late 1980s and both explore the romance between people who start off as friends. Back to 1989 includes time travel though and is a Taiwanese drama, not a Korean one.

The story line was a bit different but both stories started from when they were high school until present. Both stories gave me the warmth and nostalgic feeling. They both also have friendships you've been wanting to have. The main lead girl is both funny and the guy they end up to is both smart. Just a warning both have super heartbreaking second leads!
