Music series about two boys. One boy plays in music band and another is rich and has strict parents. Poor boy has a secret crush on the rich because he had helped him in the past and he fell in love. Also poor boy's mother own a restaurant where rich guy likes to go.
Both are BLs focused on young men who want to be musicians, so both have great OSTs.
Both dramas are short and sweet.
Both dramas are short and sweet.
Both deal with the weight of the expectations of others and the toll it takes to suppress parts of yourself to suit the people around you. Both have fraught familial relationships, though it's a bigger point in About Youth and not as heavy a focus in The Eighth Sense. They both have a nice, indie-style cinematography. The relationships are sweet and healing, both are about finding someone with whom you can find 'refuge'. They each have beautiful stories and a similar emotional weight and tone, though the Eighth Sense is definitely heavier overall. OSTs are a vibe.
Both Taiwanese BLs about first love. Lots of sweet scenes between leads with lingering camera angles/shots to capture love. Some expected BL tropes tossed in for comfort. Both have amazing OST so you find yourself watching opening/ending credits for all eps....and astute fans of either will notice one similar piece of background music and also locations/items (Taiwanese BLs famous for little Easter eggs like this to other series).
These are both 2 teen dramas where one of the main cast is confronted with controlling parents and has to face what that means for his future and well-being. Meanwhile, the other main cast comes to realize the pain under his smile and try to show him more of the joys of life.
However, At a Distance, Spring is Green is much more heavy content-wise.
