Both dramas make viewers question: Are they related?
The character outfits in Dazzling reminds me of Speed and Love, of course more PG for the FL. The MLs are struggling but also lowkey very smart and good at repairing things.

Dazzling and You Are Desire share a similar premise: a girl is forced to move to another city because of family issues. There, she meets a rough-looking guy who turns out to be incredibly smart and talented. In both dramas, the male leads are even skilled at fixing things. As the story unfolds, their relationship gradually evolves from constant bickering to romance. Not to mention, both dramas also feature a lovable ensemble cast whose friendships add warmth to the story.
Both dramas feature a young woman whose life is changed by unexpected family circumstances, leading her to form a meaningful connection with a young man from a very different background. Their relationship begins during their youth and grows through shared experiences, personal struggles, and emotional challenges. However, life eventually pulls them apart, leaving behind unresolved feelings that linger for years. When they reunite as adults, they are given a second chance to heal old wounds, rediscover their bond, and rebuild the love they once shared. However, Dazzling focuses more on coming of age growth, friendship, and healing, while Never-Ending Summer leans more toward melodrama, emotional misunderstandings, and a reunion driven second chance romance.

You know, Dazzling and When I Fly Towards You really vibe on a similar emotional wavelength, not so much because of what happens in the plot, but more about how they make you feel. Both dramas are like these gentle, slow burns — the kind where romance blossoms in those tiny, everyday moments rather than through big, dramatic twists. There’s just this warm, coming-of-age vibe in both, where school life, friendships, family struggles, and first love all kind of blend together, creating that nostalgic feeling of a summer you can never quite shake off.
Take Qing Ye from "Dazzling" — she brings a lot of the same emotional warmth that Su Zaizai does in WIFTY. She steps into the male lead’s lonely world like a ray of sunshine, always chatting, pushing him a bit, and gradually coaxing this guarded guy out of his shell. And then there’s Xing Wu, who mirrors Zhang Lurang in some ways. He’s that quiet, emotionally bottled-up type, observant and secretly caring — but "Dazzling" gives him a bit more of an edge, making him feel heavier, like he’s carrying the weight of his surroundings.
Now, the tone is where things really diverge. "When I Fly Towards You" is more on the fluffy, bright side — you know, the comforting kind that wraps around you like a warm blanket. In contrast, "Dazzling" leans into a more melancholic and realistic vibe, especially when it tackles tough themes like economic struggles, fractured families, and the pressure to shape your future. So, in a nutshell, WIFTY feels like a sweet memory you love to revisit, while Dazzling is more like that same memory, but with a little more sting.
