The synopsis reminded me of this Korean drama.

The main character, Gyung Hwi (28 male) is a university hospital resident. Back when he was in high school, he was bullied and attempted to suicide, however, Han Na Bi (a mysterious transferred girl) stopped him from dying. She ended up suddenly committing suicide after telling Gyung Hwi to live (not literally afterwards, but you get the gist).
For the past decade, he can't forget about her. However, one day, he wakes up to find himself as his 18-year-old self and it's a week before Na Bi commits suicide.
As the 18-year-old self, he was a loser, but he can't miss the opportunity to stop and save Na Bi from committing suicide. In order to do this, he has to find out what happened to Na Bi and the reason why she ended up killing herself, and of course, stop her from doing so.
Even though he is his 18-year-old self, he has the mindset and experience of a 28-year-old which will help change his gloomy past as he goes through his 18-year-old life.

"Will Gyung Hwi, who went back to the time he was an outcast, be able to save his first love and have a happy ending?"

I rewrote the synopsis from Dramalist's page about Somehow 18.

Closer to you is very similar to Somehow 18 just Closer to you is in chinese but somehow 18 is in korean.
Both female lead lean against the bus stop poles while listening to music,Both male lead is a outcast in school and both traveled back in time to save the female lead. Even the starting of Somehow 18 the scene is the same as Closer to you "ending".
Both female lead personalities is almost the same too and the way how they introduce themselves is so similar!!!

Both have time travel involved. In Closer To You, the male lead is transported to the past to save the life of his friend. In Reset Life, the female lead is transported to the past and is able to accomplish great things after having found out what happens in the future. In Closer To You, when he gets transported to the past, there is no "returning to the future". Instead "whoever" gets transported to the past they live their life until the present day. Let's just say this may or may to happen to multiple characters. If you are looking for a simpler version of the Chinese drama Closer To You, I urge you to watch Somehow 18, Korean drama.

if I’m not wrong, both male leads travel into the past to change past events and to make sure they don’t have any regrets anymore.

Both the drama starts with different back ground. CLOSER TO YOU is based on REGRET and RESET is based on ACCIDENT, but following things are common in both drama...
> Lovable & Cheery FL
> Protecting FL
> Tragic FATE of FL
> Time loop
> Time Travel

Both dramas are set in modern times during youthful school years of the main cgaracter's lives. They share a common theme of slice of life and romance.

Closer to you is focused on building relationship with someone you really regret not talking much to.
The male lead chases the female lead and we get to hear his inner-monologue of regrets and hope.

When I Fly Towards You is focused on the present experience and going through the years together.
The female lead chases the male lead and mainly we see her perspective in this drama.

They both talk about the experience of a youth and share a plot of overcoming difficulties and differences together.

(Really recommend checking the other drama out if you liked this drama. The main reason is because its set in school setting and focus on slice of life.)

If you fell in love with the main girl and you want to see more of her works then watch either mountains and oceans if you haven't or watch closer to you if you haven't.

Both main character(s) time travel to the past more or less due to a song. Similar school youth vibes and are about trying to prevent someone's death.
