Both center on a biologically-driven, fated attraction between the leads — in Affinity, the premise involves an emotionless male lead obsessively pursuing a female lead due to a genetic attraction tied to a mysterious virus. In Knot, the story depicts a mate bond formed during an unexpected rut, exploring pheromones and instinctual desire between an Alpha and Omega.
Both feature intense, possessive male leads and a relationship where biology essentially forces the two together against their will.
Both are dark romances with psychological depth and high tension.
Both involve world-building around a fictional biological/social system (the virus hierarchy in Affinity vs. the Alpha/Omega hierarchy in Knot).

If you’re enjoying Knot for its emotionally driven storytelling, compelling relationship dynamics, and the chemistry between the leads, Double Helix is definitely worth checking out. While each series tells its own unique story, both excel at building a romance through slow-burning emotional tension, meaningful character development, and performances that make every glance and quiet moment count. The connection between the leads feels natural and deeply engaging, making it easy to become invested in their journey. If you’re looking for another BL with heartfelt emotions, memorable chemistry, and a relationship that stays with you long after the final episode, Double Helix is an excellent next watch.
The main couple of both shows is played by the same actors (Boat & Oat). so if you want to see more of this couple, I highly recommend watching this.
Based on the trailer and the omegaverse setting of Knot, the inmate scenes will probably be comparable to My Stubborn.
Otherwise most likely not a lot of similarities, in terms of story and mood, since Knot is omegaverse with a more serious mood, while My Stubborn has a lighter office setting.
