While completely different in plot and setting, there are some interesting similarities. Both FLs end up in a "different world" (traveling in time vs. entering a shadowy world of assassins) where they meet the ML. Both MLs are played by the same actor, and are both kind and quiet characters. Both dramas feature a focus on umbrellas and have a more unique tone and "look". The endings of both, and the ML's fate is open-ended and ambiguous but hopeful.

Both of the main characters go back to the past to save someone who died. The story also takes place in a school setting and is an angsty story as you know the person you like will die.

If you liked watching Shining For One Thing, you can try watching Scripting Your Destiny. Though the two dramas have quite different plot and storyline, but both of them have some elements of fantasy and gives you the same vibe.
Both of these drams have the ML protecting FL without them knowing.
Moreover Scripting Your Destiny is a short drama, so it won't take you too much time to finish watching it.

Hope you enjoy watching!!

Both are dramas in which the FL time travels to the past and tries to change the past to save the ML who she loved and who died back then.

Quiet/calm ML
Cheerful/bubbly FL
First love
High school setting
Many parallels between the couple/their scenes

Genre/overall plot is different (WIFTY is more lighthearted than SFOT) but if u liked one u might enjoy the other, as I watched both back to back

This is a drama version. Same actors, same vibes, almost similar plot with more detailed plot and conflict.

Both are about the FL time traveling to the past/her school days and trying to save the life of the ML who died back then.

First they are both really good dramas.
Second they both have female go back in time and meet male lead.
Third male lead gets bad luck in future so female lead returns to the past to fix it. (Don’t wanna spoil so won’t say exactly what happens)
Fourth both have really nice and protective made leads that protect the female lead in any situation.

mediums for time travel being electronic devices (old mp3, old phone). FLs have regret about career & love decisions. 1 develops love for a previously obscure person, & the other reunites w/ an old friend.

In both drama the mc goes back to the past (in different ways). High school, romance,regrets, studying etc are all common themes between the two
