Same strong healthy, unwavering relationship between the main leads. No stupid misunderstandings and break-ups. Very cute and fluffy!! In Love O2O, male lead chases female lead, but in WIFTY, it's the other way around. No second lead syndromes. Love O2O takes place in uni entering society, and WIFTY starts from high school.

Both dramas are set in modern times during youthful school years of the main cgaracter's lives. They share a common theme of slice of life and romance.

Closer to you is focused on building relationship with someone you really regret not talking much to.
The male lead chases the female lead and we get to hear his inner-monologue of regrets and hope.

When I Fly Towards You is focused on the present experience and going through the years together.
The female lead chases the male lead and mainly we see her perspective in this drama.

They both talk about the experience of a youth and share a plot of overcoming difficulties and differences together.

(Really recommend checking the other drama out if you liked this drama. The main reason is because its set in school setting and focus on slice of life.)

You say simp and the ML from LR and FL from WIFTY will compete to take the call ??

Though they have different genre high school and green flag friendship is what is the most common factor about both of them ?

P.S: Rewatch value 10/10 for both

Watched too many edits of SWDBS ML being the oldest, LR ML being the middle and FL WIFTY being the youngest child. ?

- Chinese dramas which dont have low par acting skills (good acting)
- Both have friendship goals as main topic
- If you like friendship genre then this is a must watch

The Friendship arc is similar but Witty is less Angsty and full of sunshine while LE takes a slice of life turn.

This probably won't make sense for some since these dramas really aren't too similar. The only thing they have in common is that they are kind of slice of life and both include romance.

The reason i think you'll like them both is because they give off the same happy feeling for the viewer. I don't know how to explain it better than that really, but give the other one a try if you like one!!

O drama também fala sobre amadurecimento, sobre amor, amizade e construção de um futuro com amigos queridos! É um drama leve e muito emocionante também.

Though WIFTY is a youth drama and LMLMV is not, there's a ton of overlap when it comes to tone and delivery. Both dramas depict extremely healthy relationships between a main pair that is transparent, communicative, honest, and unwaveringly supportive. Both dramas will make you smile in every episode and provide a perfect pick-me-up after a tough day.

Both dramas are all about youth, romance, comedy. The characters are students and both are set in school setting. Both dramas have transferee main characters.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

This is a reality show but the dynamics between the couples and characters are almost the same. They both remind you of young first love and the fumbles we made when transitioning from teenagehood to adulthood. Plus this show is filmed like a drama

Light and fluffy schooldrama with a slow burn youth romance. A quiet, first reserved male lead with superhigh grades and a bubbly kindhearted female lead slowly develop feelings together.
