I think this is the first show that has a very similar vibe to weight lifting fairy. The interaction between the two leads are so similar, the gestures and how they talk. Bring it on ghost has the supernatural aspect but overall if you want cute and flirty interactions like in weightlifting fairy watch bring it on ghost and vice veraa.

both are enemies-friends-lovers storylines. the ml and fl immediately get off on the wrong foot before realising they knew each other as kids. they eventually become friends and start to fall in love. both couples have friendly/needling banter. WF is set in college whereas LE2 is set in the working world.

Both are sports dramas with good, but different types of humor, good romance (and for 'real' romance you have to wait quite long in both dramas).
'Whirlwind...' is more action than 'Weightlifting...' , but the second one has really great friendship and 'normal life' plot.

The stories are completely different but the character chemistry is similar. If you're looking for all the same friendship, humor and chemistry between ML and FL I would recommend to watch this. Both make your heart melt.

Tsuchiya Tomomitsu is the captain of his high school basketball team. He is also a senior at his school. Even though he is not that good in basketball, he is selected as bench player for the prefecture qualifying round. The underclassmen on his team, who are all better than him, are not happy about his selection.
Tomomitsu then meets Hatori Sae. She is also a senior at the same high school. She keeps watching Tomomitsu shoot three pointers. They become closer and develop a romantic relationship. Suddenly, Sae transfers to another school without saying a word.

Focuses on school life and have feel realistic. WF in college, School 2017 in high school.

Both the female leads have dreams that they want to accomplish. The male leads are just so lovable and they will constantly put a smile on your face. You'll love both the leading couples in these shows, chemistry is off the charts.

Both relationships started as friendship (where the girl is reluctant and the boy pushes him on her) and they liked someone else so first they have to comfort themselves. To get together they need a slow development which gives the scent of real life. (and that is awesome! :))Enrique's and and Joon Hyeong's personality and attitude to life and to their loved person is quite similar. And to be honest, Enrique's smile always reminds me of Joon Hyeong's. It's just adorable <3

Both sports drama with swimming athletes. Both main leads became friends before lovers. They had great chemistry. Light bubbly easy to watch dramas that give you the same feel-good vibes.

Both are sports centric dramas with ensemble casts that round out the story lines. The main couples are really well matched in personalities and are really good friends that eventually become more.

I recently finished the best of you in mind and it reminded me a lot of weightlifting fairy.
they are both knew each other from childhood (but in the best of you they knew each other way longer).
the male lead also does sports.
they are both in university.
overall you'll have a great time watching these dramas.

Not similar in terms of storyline.. like at all
but both dramas give off a "fluffy"/cutesy feel
overall, both are fun and light dramas that you should try ;)
