When I Fly Towards You

school setting
first love
friendships
bromance
FL falling hopelessly and shamelessly in love with ML
i find the korean version of a love so beautiful to be more similiar with when i fly towards you

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.

When I fly towards you is from highschool to uni. If you're in mood of watching something of the same vibe I'd suggest this :)

Similarities:
- High school coming of age drama with themes such as first love, studying, exploring family issues
- Follows a gang of friends who grow and enjoy life together while being students
- Friends that go on trips together (ex: beach trip and going on little getaways)
- FL (cheongah and zaizai) fall for ML first, and are generally very quiet and shy in front of ML, and ML develops feelings for FL later
- Slow burn romance plots pretty much all throughout both shows, including in both main and side couples
Differences:
- Twinkling Watermelon has time travel involved, and heavy focus on music, and includes non-hearing characters
- When I Fly Towards you follows the characters from high school to after high school and is more focused on the development of romance and friendship between the main characters, while Twinkling Watermelon is highly centered around the ML's relationship with his parents, as well as his friendships he fosters after time traveling.

Has very similar vibes: nostalgic shots, meaningful Soliloquy / monologues.

School setting

Smart ML. Mostly cold. Protective and does swedt things for FL without admitting

FL who is cute, has her own intelligence and beliefs. Can act coquetish with ML

Both are set in school with a bubbly and cute FL and a cold or shy ML. One of the two tutors the other. Both have a close circle of friends, two of whom are the secondary couple.

Both MLs are shy and withdrawn, FLs are more outgoing. Both are set in school and one of the characters' family owns a dessert shop.
