Similarity : In both the shows, the leads have intertwined fate as teenagers and as they grow up. Both meet and grow fond of each other but part because of an accident as kids. And then they grow up and meet again. While the MLs blame themselves for the past, the FLs grows stronger through the trauma, and helps the ML grow stronger as well.

Difference : Come and Hug me is way more intense than Thirty but Seventeen. Thirty but Seventeen focuses on many characters including the leads and is more light hearted and warm. Come and Hug me is a dramatic romance-thriller that fills you with all kinds of emotions.

Final Point : Both are must watch as healing dramas. They are about overcoming the past and giving yourself a second chance.

Both the shows are about a person being accused of a crime they did not commit and about families sticking together.

I find Ugly alert better, but if you’re looking for a shorter and similar drama, It’s okay, daddy’s girl might share the same warmth.
