These series stand apart from the contemporary Boy's Love series tend to ignore the sexual orientation of the characters, by using the "I am not gay, I am just in love with you". With one of the male lead is proudly gay and the other one is going through the journey of self-acceptance, the series doesn't shy away from sexual attraction towards a person of same-sex.

The obvious similarity would be that both the stories are set in the middle of a pandemic. Breaking away from contemporary Boy's Love series, the show has both main leads being attracted to each other and developing feelings for one another. The chemistry between the main couple develops slowly and is beautiful. The Boys' Lockdown, driven by passion and desire, is lighter compared to Gameboys, where the leads seek solace in one another.

If you were drawn into the story by the love between an openly gay guy and a guy who is yet to accept himself. If you enjoyed watching the love bloom in the middle of a pandemic, this a story you might enjoy. Instead of homophobic parents, it is the loss of a parent that makes the coming-out the process longer and painful for the main character. If you liked the weight given to the coming out in the presence of unconditional and loving parents, you should check out this other series.

If you were drawn into the story by the love between an openly gay guy and a guy who is yet to accept himself, you might enjoy this other story. Its optimistic realism is refreshing, where the family member(s) who initially rejected lead character, grow more understanding and accepting, and seek forgiveness for their homophobia.

The series take place in the same universe, fictional magazine "Weekly Vibes" and the series "Dragon Rapids" featured on both show.

BL love at works, senior and junior, shy guy with attractive senior. the main lead also remind me of adachi

If you like Multi-couple dramas, I recommend watching My Girl. It has three couples in it too, and the chemistry between them is fun to watch.

Another interesting similarity is,
-Both FL have a reason to be around the "cold-arrogant" ML, except, the reason in My Girl is something you don't usually see.

I won't say more, I'll leave it for you to decide :)

Both dramas are tear jerkers. They are quality productions with good casts, but all is not bright and cheery.
