Although many theme are similar but plot of AOL is totally different
Dr. Cutie is more light drama & miss chemistry between ML & FL whether else AOL is high budget with great chemistry...

[rebirth] and [love is more than a word] are both historical dramas that feature gay romances (however the lgbtq+ genre was expressed to a lesser degree in [love is more than a word] than [rebirth] since [rebirth] had telling cut scenes)

they were in a group to save a room. They also have clashing personalities. They also have to win a competition.

Same creepy vibe throughout. ML keeps insisting something weird is going on, but people keep dismissing his worries. In both shows the ML is agressive but stubborn in his pursuit.

While SFH has a active FL who is involved in unraveling the mystery, SM2 has a more passive FL.

Both shows involve a cult who takes advantage of people and murders them.

In 'Theory of Love', there is a pile of movie references, among them, 'The Last Moment'. The name of TOL's nine episode is because of that film.

On the other hand, both productions tell a romatic story in a college ambient.

It has the same main characters and the second lead are also the same. so if you enjoy this one go check their past work together. I highly recommend.

The theme of the story are very similar, which involves love, betrayal, cheating and marriage.

You can expect the plot of the story started off as normal couple story then came crashing with one party having passionate guilty affair and later on was caught cheating by the other party. Then revenge ensues.

TWOM started with the ML cheating, however BWGM was the FL that started cheating.

If you like Zhao Lu Si's work, you will definitely like and appreciate her earlier comedic works in Oh! My Emperor Season One and Two.

Though this is not time travelling but for sure she was playing a modern person transported into an ancient city.

Short dramas exploring unconventional sexual relationships.
Toxic relationships & no character growth, enjoy!

Both dramas focus on the lives of a group of rich high school friends who eventually turn on each other to achieve their own goal.

Gameboys is similar to Theory of Love because of the BL theme. Also, both series are primarily focused on the two main characters who at the onset do not have reciprocated feelings towards each other but later on they will.

reminds me of each other because of the "Master and Servant" relationship, and how the "Servants" is the one who learn their feelings first.
