A Little Thing Called First Love (2019)

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.

The relationships in both dramas follow a similar growth trajectories. Both feature first love conflicts. Both MLs are older than their FLs. Both FLs face career path pressure from their parents.

both female leads are same .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. angel zhao

Female leads have thick wavy hair and dress in their own style
Takes place in school
Male lead is popular for looks and personality
Second male lead and first male lead have issues surrounding family
Funnyyyy

Same high school theme, smart boy, not so smart girl, a second male lead that makes us have second thoughts, kkkkk. This two dramas are amazing, they make our heart skip beats.
