- on your wedding day soans a long time... upcomming summer just has one flash forward at the end.
- In upcoming summer they were more friends but in on your wedding day they were together.
- upcoming summer i felt lowkey had twists which was cool...

Coming of age movies about the relationship (mostly platonic, romantic tension, there are feelings) between an academic underachiever/rowdy male lead and a smart female lead who start to be involved with one another through school and also study and spend more time together. Both movies end with a time skip to the present.

• China Drama/Film with stories of First Love!
• Both are essentially 'unrequited love' stories
• Both feature a school-campus setting

Both of the films represent young peoples lives and what they experience while being in high school. In both movies we can see sad and hurtful things happening to high school kids, for example, in Upcoming summer the girls parents are divorcing and she only finds that out before her exams and that is the reason why she fails them, she also falls inlove with the main caracter boy but he rejects her feeling because he has feeling for a much older girl who doesn't love him at all. In the movie Cry me a sad river the main caracter girl experiences much harsher and overall terrible things like bullying and getting a dangerous disease witch almost brings her to commiting suicide. Both movies are sad and very similar for me in a way that I hardly can explain
