Both of these spicy GLs feature one lead with a supportive family, and the other lead with a disapproving family.

Both romances center around a boss and employee learning about each other, realizing their misconceptions about each other, and falling in love. One of the main leads also faces a lot of family pressure and past trauma that makes them repress their own wants and needs, but is able to overcome it thanks to the support from the love interest and friends. Furthermore, they both feature strained sibling relationships and manipulative antagonists.

Both of these LGB dramas present love stories that both reflect on and try to break the trend of past tragedy stemming from family pressure and homophobia.

Both Thai LGB stories feature a significant focus on marriage, what it means to be married, and marriage equality. Both stories start off with an arranged engagement (though GAP involved an arranged engagement with an outside party, rather than between the leads). Both couples have trouble communicating their wishes to each other. Sam and Kuea are both wealthy heirs, with Mon and Lian working their way up the chain in order to be able to stand by their love interests' sides.

Similar editing and tone, independent female lead and discussion about real-world issues such as gender expectations (for both men and women). Mature adult relationship stuff too.

In both dramas:

(1) the leads misjudge eachother and get off on the wrong foot, and later enter into a contract relationship;

(2) the leads are smart, competent, and relatively successful in their careers;

(3) one lead works in business or law and ends up working with the other lead, who is an idol actor;

(4) the ML has a secret medical condition that would jeopardize his career if it became known;

(5) the FL has a strong, bad-ass personality and always takes action when she observes a woman or girl being subjected to sexual harassment;

(6) the FL has skills (sign language / fighting skills) that unexpectedly benefit the ML's work;

(7) the FL has a close best friend who knows everything about her; and

(8) the ML's best friend is his colleague who knows his secrets.

Both of these LGB stories feature a main romance where one party idolizes their eventual love interest, and has a hard time accepting the love interest's feelings for them and believing themselves worthy of it.

Also, these two dramas are directed by the same company and feature many of the same casts. The main couple of actresses in GAP also act as a couple in SCOY.

Both titles feature prominent messages about marriage equality in a lesbian relationship - and how the lack of such rights has disastrous effects in instances of emergencies and loss.
