LITBC deals with queerness in such a similar yet different way. LITBC shows how the main character meets different men and discovers himself and the meaning of love with his various love interests, while realising he could have loved and been loved by some of his lovers, if the timing was right, or if the circumstances were in his favour. But the movie covers mostly his friendship with Jaehee.

SLSYT is about a man and his undying love for his childhood friend where even though he attempts love with another person, he ultimately realizes he still and has always only loved his childhood friend, and if the odds were in his favour, he might have gotten to experience the love of his lifetime. It also deals with family relations and how the main character exists in his queerness, while maintaining his relationship with his family.

SLSYT was the first movie that came to mind when I heard LITBC would be adapted. The storytelling style is different, but the themes and vibe feels the same, yet distinct in the ways the plot and characters were portrayed. Please watch the two of them and appreciate them for the queer perfection that they both are

Had to research twice to make sure but both medias were released with the same title, the same premise by the same author on the same year but different months.

Of course one is an 8 episode miniseries and one is a movie - both played by different actors respectively.
