Same mature romance drama.

In vibrant Macau, art curator Chen Jia Hui feels uninspired, until she meets Han Jun Hao, a once-great race car driver chasing one last win. Meanwhile, career-focused Mai You Ge arrives for work, only to face unexpected doubts. A chance meeting with the cheerful Xu Jun Le challenges her perspective. Amid the city’s charm, each must rediscover their purpose.

Both are queer stories about gay main characters and give an intimate look at how they navigate life and (queer) adulthood.
realistic, authentic queer rep
Same director! (Son Taegyum)

Both are fantasy dramas with story taking over multiple arcs / periods, so look forward to gorgeous costumes!

Both are healing dramas with the same actress as FL. Bloom Life takes place in Xianjiang, with a focus on ethnic minority lifestyle, Take a Nap has a fantasy setting in a remote island.

Both has the same actress as FL in an older woman / younger man romance. Sunshine by My Side is a drama with Xiao Zhan as ML, Summer Never Ends is a movie with Jun as ML.

Both FLs are supernatural beings who repeatedly die and return alive but without memories. Both FLs have their fates entwined with the ill ML who searches for and finds them over and over.

If you enjoyed Take a Hike, I highly recommend checking out any of the 8 seasons of New Journey to the West! Both shows are produced by the same person, Na Young-seok (Na PD), so they have that same chaotic, funny, and entertaining variety-show style.

You Maniac is a BL, while Nevertheless is not.
But I noticed some similarities in the first episode.

One of the main characters is a red flag who has many relationships but never gets attached to anyone.

The other is an artist who draws butterflies. Moth, the name of the protagonist in You Maniac, refers to a “moth,” while Na-bi, the name of the female protagonist in Nevertheless, means “butterfly.”

And in both stories, they end up being attracted to the bad-boy main character.
