It is the same story, kinda like a remake.

Addicted Heroin is more rough, more savage, and you get the essence of the story but it goes fast as it is only 15 episodes of 20 minutes.

Stay With Me goes more in deep of the character and the story. Stay With Me is longer in time and in episodes. We can also see a it more of the story since it is lenghtier. And personnaly, I think it is more elegant less rough than Addicted Heroin.

If you like drama about a stepbrother love story I would suggest this. Even though the ending annoyed me.

Both are BLs in which the leads are non-blood related brothers (step vs. adopted) who fall in love. One of the MLs has a younger sister who becomes an adopted sister to the other ML.

Cute high school bromantic drama that will get you captivated with the chemistry of the main leads. This is another story of patience and tolerance and true friendship.

-Both are "bromance" series that share a school setting, fights and some gangs.
-Main leads have a strong connections and great chemistry.
-They have a little sister figure in both series.
-Leads also loses a mother and suffers from poverty.

Stay with me is a remake of the uncompleted movie Addicted. Even with its restricted love story because of China's censorship, it was able to portray the love and devotion between the two main characters and the lengths in which they would go to, to stay together.

Two boys brought together under one roof with one of them starting off with strong resentment toward the other. Gradually they come to have a strong bond that excludes anyone who tries to come between them. It is a bromance but in many ways a “veiled BL”.

Both have a school setting and the MLs are students. One of the leads begins the drama by bullying/picking on the other but they eventually bond over their traumas/difficult homelives.

Both have the same vibe - found and intermarried family, step-siblings or unofficially adopted siblings who fall for each other, and the trauma and sadness of the kids dealing with difficult and broken families.
