In both, FL's parents are divorced and FL moves to new city due to her mom's plans. New city is relatively much smaller. FL meets ML and ML's childhood friends and they become friends. FL has male friend from before moving that appears briefly to show that, despite initially wanting to return to previous city, FL now wants to stay in new city. FL has conflict with mom over-determining her life. Eventually FL and her mom make up.

FL in both are not typical high school FL (i.e. not clumsy/bad at school/unpopular/"ugly" + they have nice hair) and are relatively calm/mature/independent for their age. FL in Summer Again is a bit more childish, but reasonably so for her age. In You are Desire, FL (in the high school part) is darker in mood, but becomes brighter as time goes. Both are uncertain about their dreams, but eventually find it.

ML in Summer Again is more bright/cheerful than in You Are Desire, but both are nice, good people, support their friends and FL. Both live alone + have complicated family circumstances. Both have a dream they begin seriously pursuing.

You Are Desire is overall darker and has sadder themes, while Summer Again feels quite refreshing and youthful. But You are Desire has moments that are more fun and youthful, and Summer Again explores some darker themes, too.

I thought of Flourish in Time while watching Summer again. Theres some similar vibes. Not just high school setting. The use of flashback when ML and FL leads were kids and FL is fiercely protective of ML.. and the kids version are real cute. FL is her most honest version with ML. Then theres d deskmates. FL became bestie with her deskmate. Friendship. School mates. First love.

Both are high school dramas.
MLs in both dramas are celebrities and FLs are fans.
Both have very light hearted romance and focuses on friendship.

The main difference is the personalities of leads. In my deskmate, ML is cold and FL is kinda clumsy and leads in summer again seem matured.

Exclusive Fairytale will air in 2022. As someone who enjoyed Summer Again, I would recommend everyone to watch Exclusive Fairytale when it airs because:

- both dramas have childhood friends to lovers
- focus on school
- funny female leads
- power of friendship
- both are the stories about youth and talk about problems typical for young people

Both MLs are popular authors, both have an online connection with the FLs, both MLs find out the true identity of FLs first and keep it to themselves. MLs fall in love first, while FL likes somebody else. There's plenty of friendly bantering in both relationships. Both are sweet dramas.

if mu ze was you favorite character in make my heart smile you should definitely watch! heyi (the actor for mu ze) is the lead and his characters best friend has a similar personality to mu ze. plus heyis character and the fl also have to change themselves a bit in order to keep big secrets about themselves just like wei mian. its a cute romance between best friends and has lots of cute moments like in this show <3 but also some drama w jealous classmates and old friends coming back into the picture.

*bit of a spoiler*

1. Both are highschool dramas
2. Both talked about dreams and friendship
3. Puppy love, fresh and fluffy
4. what i feel was the same in both most especially is the SFL who has a crush on the ML. *spoiler* she doesn't have a good relationship w/ her family, and the ML knows her situation that he must not enclose w/ other ppl, so this results to ML & FL problem.
