To me, Perfect Propose is what Minato Shouji Coin Laundry should have been - a compact well laid out story about two people who recognize their need for each other. Both have similar plot lines where one-sided love that turns into something more and arguably deeper when the other realizes the deep connection they have. In both you have a chaser who is infatuated with the other because of the little things that meant something more; they are caring and attentive to that person’s needs and takes a while for the other to recognize and appreciate that - food plays an important aspect in this regard.

Both these series/films explore the challenges of an intergenerational relationship. Pagbigyang Muli looks at the end and Daddy Love looks at it from the start and development of the relationship.

Both these series are supernatural tales that have a past meets present twist. Of course both are in the BL genre.

Both series have main characters who start of as friends (with one liking the other as more) and evolving into uncertainty once the second friend realizes that they too like their friend as something more. This inevitably leads to the back and forth doubt and attempt to win his friend over.

Both series are centered around a cooking theme where one of the main characters is aspiring to become a chef. In both series the aspiring chefs (Tops in Ingredients and Aron in Better Days) have lost their parents whereas the second leading actors (Martin in Ingredients and Kian in Better Days) are having issues with their parents and have chosen to live away from them. Also, one of the storylines is the second leading actor helping the chef peruse his dreams. Of course both series have a BL theme and center around the more than friends budding relationship between the two.

Topically different from each other but both Thai movies are excellent brain twisters. Both are well acted and bring interesting and unique storylines that will make you go, “wtf was that,” and forces you to watch it again to figure it out.

Both are Filipino dramas the deal with The challenges of maintaining relationships during the pandemic. Both use a video chat format where the actors are not together.

Both share the same vid chat format style. Both were filmed at the same time during the pandemic. Both have a BL theme. Both have characters that start their relationship from going to chat site because they were bored.

Both share the a very similar sub-plot of a father who is deeply effected by the loss of his daughter that he neglects his family as he mourns. In both cases, each father finds closure on her return. A Doppelgänger in one and a her spirit in the other.

Similar concept of stories of life under quarantine. How do people get the through the boredom, loneliness, and still foster a relationship or for that matter find closure?

Similar concept between the two series using the lockdown caused by the COVID pandemic as the basis of their stories. The stories are told in a video chat type format and quality, where the audience Is watching the video conversations between the two characters.

The difference is the Gameboys series is one long story thread about the blossoming friendship/love between the two main characters. Whereas Quarantine Stories are 10 distinctLy unique short films that have no storyline connection between each film in the series.

When you don’t realize the love that you have in front of you till it’s gone... that’s when it hits you like a brick of how much that love really meant to you.
