Both stories have a rich boy having a love and hate relationship with his same age bodyguard hired by his father and they go through some challenges while figuring out their relationship
Both are Thai BL and involves being the son of a mafia leader (and taking their position) and falling in love with a bodyguard.
Never Let Me Go and That Summer feel very similar in the emotional and romantic atmosphere they create. Both have a highly sentimental soundtrack, a soft melancholic tone, and a dreamy, almost cinematic vibe, especially in their beach and sunset scenes, which make the romance feel even more intense and nostalgic.
chimonperth's own series, they're a side couple in never let me go(benchopper) and dangerous romance is their series
Both series portray a wealthy family of unscrupulous business practices who solicit the assistance of a closely trusted bodyguard to protect the sole heir of the family’s fortunes and its various enterprises. The bodyguards follow their respective young masters in all aspects of their daily lives, such as sharing the same living quarters and attending the same classes at school, all while developing intricate feelings for one another as the series progress.
when i watched nlmg i could not stop thinking about how much palm and neung remind me of akk and aye, i love all my babies so much. neung has a fiery, defiant and strong personality much like aye and palm seems to resemble a calmer and mellower version akk.
- the relationship dynamics are very similar + enemies to lovers-esque
- in a school setting
- themes of homophobia + difficulty accepting yourself

Same director, similar set up and premise, better executed. If you like NLMG you will love 3WBF and if you dislike NLMG then 3WBF will deliver on everything you are disappointed about in NLMG.
Edit: Jojo Tichakorn the director also confirmed that these two dramas take place in the same universe! There was supposed to be a crossover in NLMG where Shin became a cameo mentor to Neungdiao but it was eventually scrapped for time.
