I would say this reminds me of Mr. Bad for the novel plot stuff… I wouldn’t say it’s exactly the same but at least both should be during their youth… as for the storyline I wouldn’t say too much just that they made it quite familiar yet not… still interesting to me

Another highly motivational, strong discipline and education focused drama featuring students. Also there's friendships, heart warming bond and unity between the students. I love how dedicated the female lead is, if Kang Seok Ho was her teacher, he'd be proud of her

The concept of time travelling; in DDMS the FL makes a time travel back to here high school days, reliving, recreating and cherishing the moments she once missed, whereas in FLA the ML lead first time travels back to his school days and then keeps travelling in parallel universes in his present self trying to change the past so as to return to his original time space. (the 31-year old ML).

Both are high school drama with romance. In "Don't Disturb My Study" and here in "Shining For One Thing" female lead goes back to their school days and decide to take college entrance exam. Both dramas are time travel.

It’s also a school drama and the main leads of both dramas have similar temperaments. Male leads of both dramas are sporty. Female leads of both dramas are hardworking & studious types. Both dramas not only have school romance, but focus on the struggles and daily lives of students as well.

Both the male and 2nd male lead are the same in both drama's and both are high school based.

Both have a fml who's dedicated entirely to her study as it's her second chance to do better at the Gaokao.
The fml helps motivate the ml who's not that interested in studying hard anymore. Both the mls also have a career as a pilot.
A Ray Of Light doesn't have much romance compared to Don't Disturb My Study but they both show a snippet of the future after graduating where the couple in DDMS get together while the one in ROL leave it open ended.
