Only the Wind Knows

The movie "Only the Wind Knows" is a Chinese remake of the web TV series. Both have the same native name and both are adapted from the novel of the same name.

- Highschool setting in the 80s/90s
- Gang leader FL
- Weak ML
- Hot tempered delinquent FL
- FL has a long time crush on ML
- ML likes the new girl in school
- Childhood friends to lovers
- FL is pursued by a gang leader boy
- Coming of age
- ML is very tall and FL is very short

Honestly, the stories are VERY similar. The main difference is that OtWK has an underlying mafia theme that goes past the FL's lil high school gang, while HYB is an average coming of age movie.

Similiar time frame and cinematography. similiar concepts of youth except Only the Wind Knows is more mature and deals with heavier subjects but the vibe is similiar.

Also both about poor lower-class students, and best friends slowly falling in love.
