Similarities:
Take place in the same era, the FL is first married to a member of communist party and they have a child together and then the husband died. She met another man (ML) and eventually getting together with him and helping each other.
Differences:
The presence of the leading actors: in Lost in 1949 ML is the center of the drama while in Red Rose you are going to wonder who the ML is because he is “missing” in almost the half of the drama.
