Both are youth dramas in which the FL is childhood friends and in love with the ML who ends up getting into trouble over and over. Meanwhile another boy moves into her street and begins being kind to her and eventually becomes the endgame.

They both are high school love stories. Here Li Xia is like Ma Xiao Xiao topper and serious. The character of Lu Zhi Ang and Yi Dong Dong is also somewhere similar because both of them are funny and easy going.

Both are nostalgic, bittersweet dramas revolving around the lives of the families that live in a neighborhood, following the kids from high school to working life. Both have a love triangle where the "endgame" ML is introduced more like the SML, with the FL having a long term crush or friendship with the other ML. Both of the couples get together in the final episode after years of him having a one-sided crush on the FL.

Both are a trio of friends/love triangle between two MLs and a FL who live on the same street. Both have a nostalgic feel with the FL starting out crushing on a different ML than she ultimately ends up with.
