You should use DateTimeOffset (instantaneous time or absolute time) instead of DateTime. Read more about in that SO Anserwer about DateTime vs. DateTimeOffset.

Why there is no hour added to first record? – user1263981 Mar 03 '22 at 04:49
Yes thats strange, in the first record a whole day is added – Kraego Mar 03 '22 at 07:00
Can you provide the code where the deserialization happens – Kraego Mar 03 '22 at 07:54

Likely that one date is *during* dst, and one date is outside of dst. In the UK at least dst starts near the end of March so that would line up with your dates (assuming a similar dst setup in your locale). Whole day is a bit weird tho... – Charleh Mar 03 '22 at 14:28
@user1263981 I've added some hints, datetime is tricky ... – Kraego Mar 03 '22 at 18:10
