They are both amazing LGBTQ+ stories. Both are widely different in terms of story (except for two men falling in love), but they are both worth watching. They deal with LGBTQ+ struggle and acceptance in their own ways.

If you are sick of BL drama that is so unnatural and with stupid plot, I recommend you to watch this mini series. This one of the realistic BL drama, no cliché plot, not fan service, no sexual or intimate scene. great drama to watch, really recommended. The characters play a good role.

Both dramas follow the lives of children and end when they are older. They're also LGBT stories that deal with being closeted and internalized homophobia.

*SPOILERS*
Both follow the leads from high school to adulthood. They struggle with issues in their relationship, seperate, and then come back together. I will say, that if you watch 1 in 10,000, you should watch all three acts. The first and second act aren't very good, but I cried by the third act. Both are also queer shows, though 1 in 10,000 is intentionaly a romance that happens to be gay (between two women), and not a gay romance.

This is a short TV series, about two young boys falling in love in their teens and then breaks up when one of the boy start to feel the pressure of society and his parents who urge him to get married and have been. They breakup and the other boy get married.

Same like More then Words, boys breakup when one is worried about having normal life and family. So both series share same storyline but different outcome, however the essence of story is to accept the truth about you, accept your true self in order for to be truly happy.

They are both fairly short and are Viki originals. I’m not going to give spoilers but they have a similar story layout (Happy, heart break, happy). There is also one character in each one who is trying to hide his feelings for the other main character.

From youth to adulthood, the storyline is similar for a school setting drama. Both drama shows how they have grown and during the process, there was so much ache.

Narasaki always wished he had a quiet space to study in, so it should be a blessing in disguise that he gets to help at the library reception desk. However, he was suddenly selected to supervise Terashima, a student with bad behavior who is famous on campus. At first, the two did not talk, but in the library, where only the sound of turning pages resonates, Narasaki gradually begins to take an interest in Terashima, who has a mysterious personality.
