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.

One is the original drama, the other is a collection of missing scenes and a very cute epilogue to the series.

Both dramas follow the female lead and her crush through high school, college, and adulthood. Both dramas also show the male lead go abroad for education and return to China as successful adults.

Both dramas have a main couple who are childhood friends, now in high school. In both dramas, the ML falls first and harbors a crush for a long time on the FL without her realizing.

Both dramas have a warm feel, a school setting, and an enemies/frenemies to lovers relationship between the main couple. FL likes someone else who only sees her as a friend. The ML in both seemingly picks on the FL who is annoyed by him, but when he starts to fall for her he falls hard and must try to get her to see him as more than a friend.

I won't say that it's exactly the same but the feels are very much similar. The communal relationship and how all characters are bounded with each other through friendship and a close bond.
Gen Z is more towards one's growth and about medicine and the romance part is not the main thing. However, in the other one romance and friendship is primary with the leads growth and how they find themselves through the process of teenage to maturity.
