Both are beautiful dramas. They portray the best friends to lovers concept with such ease using a mixture of emotions with a mainly romantic comedy ease to the drama.
If you want to laugh and fall in love with a drama that will forever stay with you, these two would definitely do it!
Personally, I would say you could view In Time With You as a more in depth continuation of best friends falling in love in their adulthoods.
Enjoy! :)

You get attached to the characters and you will be surprised at the end of Reply 1988

Eunji is the female lead here, as well. And this drama is also about school and friendship. Like Cheer Up, this is also a coming-of-age tale.
1.) Eun Ji as the female lead with similar personalities. Sassy girl who is bad at studying. And male lead being the one good at studying.
2.) Second male lead is the brother (or close friend) of male lead, making the male lead hesitate in love.
3.) Best friend of female lead also has similar personalities. N in Sassy Go Go and Hoya in Reply 1997. Both are quiet and shy, yet are the "wise" ones.
Will say that Reply 1997 generally has more content as well as twist and turns as compared to Sassy Go Go. But after you finished watching Reply 1997 and want more sass from Eun Ji, Sassy Go Go is a possible choice. Sassy Go Go has more fluttering moments though as the male lead is proactive than the one in Reply 1997.

yes, the comparison is a little daring, but if you are willing to cross countries, periods and setting, you may find out the two dramas give out the same feeling: the endearing silliness of youth, the family bonds, the friendship and the fun.
Try, you could be surprised.

Reply 1997 and A Love So Beautiful are both brilliant dramas and similar in various ways.
Reply 1997 is a Korean drama, whilst A Love So Beautiful is a Chinese web series. Both dramas have similar plots - a boy and a girl who grew up together and one eventually falls in love with the other, along with side couples who you root for secretly. I will try not to spoil the plots of the two shows too much.
Other similarities:
- The romance between characters doesn't start heavily until they grow older, I really enjoyed the slow pace of both these dramas.
- What appears to be unrequited love
- EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL LOVE TRIANGLES
- A problem in the relationship which causes a time gap until the characters meet again
Differences:
- The characters and their personalities are very different in the two dramas
- In Reply 1997, the main two are much more comfortable with each other
- Reply 1997 has more family involvement, whilst ALSB has a bit of family but is majorly focused on the romance of the main characters
- Xiaoxi is open about her feelings whilst Yoon Jae keeps it a secrect
- Reply 1997 is an older drama, whilst ALSB is relatively new.
MY OPINION:
Whilst I loved A Love So Beautiful and am greatful that it is my first Chinese drama, I do have a soft spot for Reply 1997. I also found the characters in Reply 1997 more interesting than in ALSB. At times, Jiang Chen would bother me for his inability to communicate his feelings towards Xiaoxi, as much as I loved him. The plot and character development was also much more interesting for me in Reply 1997, but I do have to say that ALSB's side couple was so beautiful. I adored the chemistry between them, and whilst side couples usually are a nuisance for me, I couldn't help but LOVE those two! :) x

It's too about a (new) group of friends, where each and one of them struggle to find love and happiness. It also has a similar sub-plot later on and a minor jump in time.
Its about friendship between four friends since their high school days even though the story and age is different. Its really funny too !!
In both the girl tells a story of her high school, about her life, friends, how she fell in love.
Both of movies/drama has those similar 'feelings' because action takes place in 1990s :D

Both are from the same Tv channel (TvN) that produces Teenage dramas. Plus both dramas are about music and friendship.
The friendship turning into love storyline reminded me of this movie. In terms of general plot, they are different, but the tone of the dynamic between the leads is similar.
