Chains of Reverie

Coming-of-age shows about youth, life and romance set in similar timelines of late 1990s/early 2000s. Explores themes of friendship, family life in similar settings of school and town. Main characters are bold, brave, adventurous and stand up for what they care about. Both dramas are pretty melodramatic.

80-90s timeline, major theme of finding one's dream, self-discovery and perseverance to achieve your goal. Stories about family, love ,school life that are filled with laughter, heartbreak and regret. Top tier ost and acting. There are more similarities but these sum it up. Miles to Go is a bit more rural-life centered and the story also goes into their adult/work lives. Also both leads are unwaveringly brave and are readers too. Both based on novel as well

Both are Historical backgrounds
Both have idols as leads
