Ash

The second son of a Mafia boss, Kinn Theerapanyakul, is fleeing from an enemy when he meets Porsche, an enterprising young bartender. Porsche agrees to help defend Kinn from his attackers for a price.

Porsche's martial arts skills impress, and spurred on by his father, Kinn seeks to hire Porsche as one of his personal bodyguards. Porsche is opposed and rejects Kinn’s offer despite his attempts at intimidation. It isn't until Porsche's family home and his ability to care for his brother are threatened that he acquiesces and moves onto the Theerapanyakul property.

It's not a smooth transition into the unorthodox, violent job, and his relationship with Kinn vacillates between strained and playful. When his feelings for Kinn take an unexpected turn, his work becomes even more high-stakes.

Both The Bangkok Boy and Ash have a similar dark, gritty vibe. Both mix BL romance with crime, violence, revenge, secrets, and dangerous relationships. The couples come from very different worlds, and their romance develops while they are surrounded by criminals and conflict.

The main difference is that The Bangkok Boy focuses more on gangs and revenge, while Ash focuses on an undercover police officer and organized crime.

Both shows are set in HK, and both deal with underground illegal activities. The push-pull and vibes are very similar, and I'd recommend Ash to anyone who loved Sammy's Children's Day.

Idk .something abt this couple reminds me of the second cp in kiseki. I dont kmow if its the angst or the dynamics between them

Its a Chinese BL where the leads are in the same age bracket as the ones in Ash. Kingston(Foon) and Ollie(Zhen Xin) were also in Chinese survival shows for debuting idol groups so they have a lot of fans in common who would want to watch the shows they are in. Also most people interested in a BL from Hong Kong are also fans of chinese BLs and Deep In is of a similar genre so they'll enjoy watching it if they enjoyed Ash.

Both are currently airing shows with one of the main leads involved with the mafia. They are both crime/thrillers and have similar vibes.
