Shining for One Thing (2022)

female lead time traveling through a device

male lead dies in the future

possible accident that caused ML death.

silent pining and devotion from male lead.

set in high school

The time travel is similar in both the dramas. The female lead travels back in time. Both the series have school romance and angst

SFOT is about time travel, and ExY is about characters in novel, but both give off the same vibes. The female lead once liked the second male lead, but when she came to realization, she becomes interested in the male lead instead. Also, when the time changed, they put the same sound effect too.

- Both female leads travel to the past multiple
times due to an old object
- Both male leads are smart.
- Both mainly in a High School setting.

Here's Ana's Recommendation for you < ^ .^ >

-Happy Endings :)

it has time travel, they're first love, investigation, parallel words, cellphone like a portal, school drama, youth drama

Female lead travels back in time to save the guy she loves. Very melancholic, both are set partially in adulthood and partially in youth

Both are suspense, thriller drama.
Reset is about time loop while in SFOT, the FL travels through time and space with the help of her phone and goes back to her school days and tries to change her fate as well as to save the ML.

Both dramas involve one of the leads dying and then a cellphone allowing the other to return to the past/alter the events that happened. Both have a school setting.

- ML falls in love with FL first,
- ML has been hiding his love,
- time loop,
- a similar thing is connected to the loop

Both are about the FL returning from her unhappy present to her school days and trying to fix the events of the past.

School setting, sweet relationship between leads, ML is a good student and tutoring FL who is a poorer student. Their personalities are somewhat similar.

Both FL have a breakup after being in a long term relationship and travel back to their past to their high school selves and falls for someone else

While completely different in plot and setting, there are some interesting similarities. Both FLs end up in a "different world" (traveling in time vs. entering a shadowy world of assassins) where they meet the ML. Both MLs are played by the same actor, and are both kind and quiet characters. Both dramas feature a focus on umbrellas and have a more unique tone and "look". The endings of both, and the ML's fate is open-ended and ambiguous but hopeful.

Both of the main characters go back to the past to save someone who died. The story also takes place in a school setting and is an angsty story as you know the person you like will die.
