Heroic Years (2021)

Both are about the military and special forces teams as well as the friendships and love formed on the way.

Story about soldier. The settings both started with military training. They have a cold and stubborn hero that little by little learn to befriend and trust his comrades.

It’s a short film co-starring Xiao Zhan that came out this year. For anyone who wants to see him in something a bit more modern.

The two dramas are a lot similar to each other
the training camps and the military life for every character
slight romance too

Both are about the military and past activities of the military. However, unlike this drama the Ace Troop covers all the changes in Chinese military.

Both about the army, though different time, similar vibes (three friends fighting together) with some love triangle, both start with light friendship-adventure to later go into politics and plots

Similarities:
-Same ML with similar starting time period.
-Tribute drama with slice of life, trials and tribulations of all characters.

-First love doesn’t always work for everyone.

Both are military series, showing the life of soldiers and also their training, it's very interesting and eye opening. All the risk their take.
