Many recommendations that come from Father is Strange are usually about the family dynamic. Age of Youth (also translated as Hello My Twenties) is similar to MFIS because it also uses multiple, same-time, plot lines. In its own way, Age of Youth also creates a family throughout the time of the housemates living together. Overall, I would go as far to say I feel a more genuine and tighter connection between the characters of AOY over MFIS. I also consider every one of AOY's plots to be engaging throughout, which is what makes it one of my personal favorite dramas of all time.
