Queer crew, queer story, queer characters who have messy lives. Aof and Jojo wrote Gay OK Bangkok and Jojo directed it. It's a realistic story while OF is more entertainment, but we can have both.

They both have a similar vibe, specifically guys doing random slice of life stuff and humorous things happen.

Both contain case-solving, humor, and heartfelt moments, and a grand arc that spans the entire season.

BoT is a modern, supernatural investigative procedural that pushes along the main character arc at a brisk pace. It matches the quality and style of some of the best Hollywood procedural shows in mixing side-splitting absurdist humor, astute social commentary, and heartfelt moments. The show replaces bromance with a more team camaraderie and realistic romance between ML and FL. The engaging and consequential cases and grand story arc culminates in an exciting finale.

The biggest issue is the poor subtitle quality limits the accessibility as much of the hilarity and context of the show may be bungled by subpar translation. Though fluent Chinese speakers will likely enjoy this quirky hidden gem.

Same main two leads of both dramas
Same friendship between them
Both dramas are wuxia drama
Both dramas are unique because Cheng Yi is the main lead of them

Both have a likeable gang of characters solving cases.

Young blood's cases are more engaging and consequential whereas MLC's feel more like props. MLC is a higher budget production, though YB is arguably better in most areas such as plot, characterization, and acting.

For non-native speakers, MLC may be more accessible and an easier breezier watch.

Wuxia adventure light in theme and propelled forward by likeable characters and bromance.

BoY has more differentiated fighting styles, but also a heavier reliance on CGI. MLC has more compelling characters and more interesting plot, a more grownup version to BoY's youthful energy.
