The first season so much in a sense you should try it if you have already like this show, The second season of Waikiki would depend on if you like the first season or not but I will definitely tell you to have a look at the 1st season

Both are set in the entertainment industry. In reset mc gets betrayed by his lover but in mfb mc gets/feels betrayed by his idol. Both shows explore overcoming betrayal and losing someone presious to them

Although celebrity is a kdrama and mr.fanboy is a thai bl both shows explore MC getting famous and having to deal with the ugly parts of the industry they were naive too.

Both talk about the entertainment industry and the dark side to it. Although both are pretty intense, Mr Fanboy shows a very realistic perspective of the industry, whereas Payback has a more dramatic backstory.

But in terms of setting and intensity i would say both are similar
