Addicted (2016)

Both r great BL.unfortunately this drama was not completed due to some protest against the BL content.both the dramas have amazing. Performance by the leads

Not Me is a BL Thai Drama that focuses on some slightly darker concepts than the classic high school delinquents, but the production, amazing story telling, top tear acting, and BANGER SOUND TRACKS make them very similar in my eyes. It does focus more on more profound messages like fighting corruption and LGBTQ rights. You'll fall in love with that aspect of it too.

Not Me has a completely finished plot in 14 episodes and a beautifully developed romance. To me Not Me is like a completed version of Addicted. While the romance may be mainly secondary to the plot, it is not over looked. The producers are able to include plot relevant interactions and gradual emotional development. Their love is also not as possessive, but it is wholesome and persistent. there are some steamy scenes though no real nudity.

ALSO: just a little bonus, in NOT ME the main actors (off & gun) are actually a couple in real life, so you know their chemistry is *chefs kiss*.

the 3rd plot of hida and saint, the step bros in love concept is similar to addicted heroin

This is a Chinese BL (which was cancelled so last episodes aren't available) and has a novel
This also has non blood related brothers' love trope
I also think this drama portraits a realistic poor environment just like Unknown
Also this drama has one sided obsessive lover too

A complicated like-love friendship but Night Flight is much more darker and it differentiates a lot the main characters.

Both shounen ai reference material. Cute guy-ish; no mating scenes.

Boy's Love material!! Both have cold calculative guys.
I Love You As a Man - is more comical, and one that I adore; music is pretty good.

different genre but both of the male leads in MOD are alphas, similar to addicted. it also portrays masculine leads (both of them) though the tone in MOD is dark.

I didn't know at first but producer Xiao Long is Johnny's ex-manager & lyricist of Timmy's Walk Slowly from Addicted and the show's fan base is screaming for a new season of it and it's one of the most popular bl series so i would highly recommend watching it if you haven't seen it yet.

I feel these two BLs are similar based on how these couples came to be through hatred then soon grew fond of each other, also these BLs do have that plot line were there's a secret that involves them both and once found, changed them forever. 10/10 Recommend.

I'm recommending this because they have the same author. I'm reading the novels and I think everyone should as well. It took me so long to finish Addicted's novel because I would always need time to recover after every other chapter that I read. Currently, I am reading Counterattack, and it had the same effect on me. I've already secured a copy for Advance Bravely, and I don't know when will I be able to read it.

In ‘Addicted’, Gu Hai is a rich man's son who becomes infatuated with Bai Luo Yin and pranks him at school while slowly starting to care for him.

In ‘Make Our Days Count’, Xiang Hao Ting comes from a richer family and after a series of misunderstandings he develops feelings for the orphaned and impoverished Yu Shi Gu.

Both these dramas have really similar storylines and characters. The on-screen chemistry is awesome too.

Based in a mature high school, the stories can both be humorous at points, but neither fails to hit the mark when it comes to exploring the experiences of young gay men within their respective societies. Red Balloon goes further in its reflective essence and demonstrates the awful possibilities of what it can do to individuals who are forced to adapt to a heteronormative society that has little desire for their truth.

The main leads banter with each other in the whole series in a similar way.
Rak Diao or One love is an amazing sitcom with love hate relationship

Both about non biological brothers and has that toxicness in it. Both are very uncomfortable to watch and romanticize abuse/sexual assualt. hate both of them but if this is what u r into then go ahead and watch and also get some help.
