Both share an uncommon narrative structure: the season starts and ends in the current timeline, while most of the season is a long flashback happened in an earlier phase of the character's life. Character dynamics are similar: duel MCs that act as foil to each other and at the same time share a common passion/core value. The stories start in the characters' youth and follow them well into their adulthood. The reveal of the past will shed a new light onto the characters' present actions and relationships. The previous timeline ends in tragedies which are partially remedied in the later timeline. The characters have a second chance at making up for past regrets.
