A similar formula is used here, with the lead character obsessed with the girl and unable to resist meeting her. He possesses a fantastic trait that makes him both addicted to her and fiercely protective of her. Excellent chemistry and cool special effects!

Okay… same here…
I just wanna state one thing…
It’s about the poisonous mushrooms in the series… one with Jiangshi and one with snows and flower petals…

That’s all…

Okaay… so basically,, I made this recommendation because of the mushroom scene… I previously thought that those hallucinations won’t be as cute if you eat poisonous mushroom.. but some Chinese and Thai series proof me wrong.. ??

-Is beautifully cinematic and features people in the arts
- Features a romance between a mildly older genius of the field and a newer entrant into the field
- Female lead had a terrible relationship that just ended making her tentative to start anew
- Male lead has ongoing personal issues that make it hard for him to commit and keeps a lot of secrets

Nevertheless: The Shapes of Love is quite slow and dreamy a little bit too serious, but it stuck with me a lot and is worth a try

This might have spoiler, but i tried to keep vague

Similarities:
- Thriller Dramas
- Romance Dramas
- Psychological Dramas
- Xie Xin Xu (Affinity) is manipulative like Baek A Jin (Dear x)
- Both rely heavily on slow-burn psychological tension instead of action, keeping the focus on emotional stakes and internal conflict
- Both stories center on leads who are emotionally damaged and shaped by past trauma or abnormal environments
- Anti-social behaviours


Difference:
- Dear X is a South Korean Drama
- Affinity is a Chinese Drama
- Dear X is hugely concentrated on romance unlike Affinity
- Affinity involves a virus, while Dear X doesn't
- Baek A Jin (Dear X) is an emotionally guarded, manipulative, and driven by survival and ambition
- Wu Nong Yu (Affinity) is gentle, empathetic, and curiosity-driven, shaped by science rather than survival instincts
- Yun Jun Seo (Dear X) is a trusted confidant whose role is rooted in emotional dependence and power imbalance
- Xie Xin Xu (Affinity) is an emotionally detached and antisocial, with conflict stemming from logic vs emotion, not social ambition
-In Dear X the relationships are volatile and destructive, driven by fear, control, and unspoken resentment
- In Affinity the bond is mysterious and fated, exploring attraction beyond conscious choice or morality
- Baek A Jin (Dear X) isn't a weak female lead who needs a man to save her all the time unlike Wu Nong Yu (Affinity)

- set in the same universe
- music/performance as a central theme
- both main characters are very open about their crushes and proactively pursue them
- golden retriever bf x black cat bf

If you liked the identity mystery aspect ( falling for someone's talent/persona before knowing their face), this is a lighter, fluffier take on that theme. It focuses on the world of professional voice acting and gaming. It's much lower on the 'thriller' scale than LBL, but it captures digital connection to real-life romance beautifully.

The same epic comedic tone, a protagonist who grew up with a concept of wealth far beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. In both cases, this leads to absurd and funny situations, with the difference that Me and Thee take itself less seriously. Worth watching if you’re looking for a wealthy protagonist who turns into a lovestruck mess over their companion, creating “this could only happen in a movie” moments, full of good feelings and deeply misunderstood.

Both ml like pretty clothes and are gender nonconforming, and both shows are a sweet comfort watch! The casting is impeccable in my opinion, mostly with Hikaru and Kuranosuke (tho the movie adaptation for Princess Jellyfish with Suda Masaki is superv as well!). If you enjoyed one, you'll love the other too!

If you liked Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, you might enjoy The Haunted Palace because both dramas mix romance with a supernatural twist in a really charming way. Each story brings the leads together through unusual, magical circumstances—one through enchanted food and curses, the other through ghosts and haunting mysteries. They share a similar vibe of light fantasy, warm chemistry, and a touch of mystery as the couple uncovers secrets and grows closer while dealing with the supernatural elements around them. The overall tone feels whimsical but emotional, making The Haunted Palace a nice follow-up for anyone who enjoyed the magical-romantic atmosphere of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.

Lovely Runner (2023) and 365: Repeat the Year are similar because both center around time travel used to change a tragic fate, creating a mix of suspense, emotion, and mystery. In Lovely Runner, the main character goes back in time to save the person she loves from a painful future, while in 365, the characters reset their lives to avoid past misfortunes but end up facing even more dangerous consequences. Both dramas explore how altering the past affects relationships, creates new timelines, and uncovers hidden truths. They share a strong emotional core, high-stakes tension, and the theme of desperately trying to fix what went wrong, making them appealing to fans of fate-changing storylines and tightly woven time-travel plots.

If you enjoyed Disguised Family, Spy x Family is a great follow-up because both focus on a fake family created for a specific mission. Each character hides a major secret, which leads to funny misunderstandings, tense moments, and a lot of heart as their pretend relationships slowly turn real. The blend of comedy, action, and wholesome found-family development feels very similar, making Spy x Family a perfect recommendation for fans of hidden identities and unconventional family dynamics.

If you liked this, you'll like this. bpoth have amazing actors and interesting plots.
It's a similar plot but better written and in my opinion better executed.

Takarada Takara works for a company. On a rainy day, he walks helplessly without an umbrella. Somehow, he watches a stage play performed by theatrical troupe Eiyu. Takarada Takara becomes touched by Kamoshima Yujin's performance. Afterwards, Takarada Takara decides to quit his job and become an actor. He also joins theatrical troupe Eiyu.

Similarities: both MCs are in the acting/theatre world.

Differences: Double is a lot darker and has a bit of a unique plot for a BL centered on actors. A lot less fluffy romance and more... co-dependent? I can't think of a better for to describe it haha, I don't want to call it toxic but it's definitely not healthy.

Similarities:

- Both make fun of drama tropes! In Me and Thee, they satirize soap opera tropes through the MC, in AMWDTWOBL they make fun of general BL tropes.

- Both hilarious comedies where a character learns to let go and fall in love.

Differences:

- Me&Thee is in Thai. Plus, while it's still very funny, it has a more serious and chronological(?) plot line.

- AMWDTWOBL has a over-arching story sure, but really it's a bunch of short episodic scenarios rather than a plot that builds on itself.
