This is, by far, my one of the closest recommendations for WIFTY:

- The male lead is a green flag, always helping the female lead.
- The girl develops feelings for the guy first, but he falls even harder.
- It follows their journey from high school to college.
- The setting is shot beside the ocean, providing a calming atmosphere.
- The OSTs are nice.
- The names of the main male lead and second lead are mixed up.
- It features a slow burn love story.

However, it lacks:

- The strong friendship dynamic present in WIFTY. Most of the female lead's friends are girls, and they don't show much bonding between them.
- The inclusion of family life in the end.
- Unlike WIFTY, they face major problems in their careers and love lives.
- There are love triangles.
- It lacks proper kissing scenes. (because the FL is too young when they shoot this)
- It is quite long with 32 episodes.

If you've finished all of the recommended dramas, there's nothing wrong with giving this one a try. Maybe it will be to your taste after all.

These two are my go to OG drama's and the both show a similar cold yet warm demeanored male lead and a cozy and sunshine type female lead. Both drama's show us the true value of friendship and how grumpy x sunshine IS A TRUE TROPE!!!!

A story about the youth of this millennium follows a group of students who encounter ups and downs in the marathon of life. Ma Tian who comes from a well-off family and his goody-two-shoes neighbor An Ran transferred to an ordinary high school during their senior year; where they meet different kinds of people — Lao Gou (‘Old Dog’), Da Lijiao, Mimi, Da Zui (‘Big Mouth’) and Song Jie.

Both are youth-romance dramas, set in school (and out of school), set back in time (both within the 2000s), and both are centered around a close group of friends

Synopsis

The drama tells the story of how an ordinary girl Xia Guo chooses when faced with two different choices, and what happens. The drama is presented in parallel time and space. The different choices of the heroine will lead to different endings.There are the challenges and dilemmas of the big city; but on the other hand, there is the stability and triviality of the small town. In life it is always necessary to make concessions, without fear of loss, and moving forward to embrace that sense of the "extraordinary." If life could have other versions, and the "if" could be experienced, what would it look like? The drama realizes this "if" so that the heroine experiences two lives in parallel. How she will handle those choices is the big question.

"I live elsewhere" (from original title in chinese).

High school sweethearts to lovers in adult life
Difference:
-in wifty it's calmer? FL is energetic and cheerful extrovert but ML is introvert and more mature?
-in love next door I know ML is mature but in FL presence oh he's gonna match her energy alright

Similarities are big
Both are chinese school slice of life dramas
Roy Xie took part in both of them
While WIFTY is about ml/fl couple, the second is on a bromance side, both shows life of multiple friends
Recommended by killua77
Both have great chemistry between the leads, both have bubbly and extroverted female leads, both have smart male leads, both have a supportive group of friends with all different interests, and both have many comedic moments.

Differences are that When I Fly Towards You is more of a romance than My Calorie Boy as the female lead spends the whole series chasing the male lead and her crush is obvious and adorable to watch while My Calorie Boy has a better best friends kind of base for their relationship. When I Fly Towards You also does a much better job of transitioning through time from their highschool to college to adult lives while in contract My Calorie Boy is almost exclusively just about highschool.

But if you were attracted to the friendships or the slice of life feel then I think you would enjoy both of these.
