Summer Scent and Spring Waltz are both part of the four seasons series by the same director, but the stories are not related. They both feel warm, slow and romantic. And the stories follow four people hanging out close together.

The similarity in names is just ironic!
Similar feeling. The instant connection, the slow romance, the gazes, and the tension.
Beautiful dramas that focus on the romance, with a similar story.
Similar stories. A wounded man, and a girl in a long committed relationship who's soon to get married. They meet in a similar manner.
Of course OSN has a different quality since it is newer, but Summer Scent has a really good quality given the time it was aired.
Both are slow and quiet dramas.

These are pretty similar because of the second female lead tieing down the male and the ml kinda give the same gloomy vibe

Still one of the best K-dramas since 2000s until now. This season drama is one of my favorite & I still watch it from time to time. Nice & memorable OST & MV too.

Not many people think Summer Scent is a successful drama as Winter Sonata or Autumn Tale but I like the story & Son Ye Jin as the FL. Nice & memorable OST & MV. I still watch this drama & listen to the OST.

They have the romantic old/classic drama vibe.

Han Ji Hye stars in both, but she’s the main FL in Cloud Stairs.

Part of the stories is similar
