Business as Usual

From it's premise, it sounds a lot like Our Dating sim
- the same second chance romance plot
- same office romance plot
- both kbls
- in Eul's love they reunite after 10 years, in Our Dating sim it is after 7 I believe

It's because both are the same work, the first one is drama and the second one is special episode of this drama

Similarities:
~ Both of them have the Exes to Lovers trope
~ Both of them showcases exes meeting up again years later in the workplace
~ Both couples were college sweethearts
~ Both couples broke up due to betrayal, mistrust, & miscommunication
~ One of the exes (Tamtawan from The Ex-Morning & Jin Hwan from Business as Usual) seem to be a red flag
~ Both red flags comes back to reunite with their ex and wants to work with him
~ Both red flags came back to their country (Thailand & South Korea) from studying aboard (Australia & USA)
~ Both shows mainly showcase the POVs of the other ex (Pathaphi from The Ex-Morning & Min Jun from Business as Usual)
~ Both Pathaphi & Min Jun are the best in their department (reporting & editing)
~ Both Pathaphi & Min Jun have not dated anyone since their ex
~ Both Pathaphi & Jin Hwan do not know the reason for their broken-up relationship
~ Both Tamtawan & Min Jun ghosted their ex
~ Cats are involved in the storyline (Min Jun & Jin Hwan wanted to own a cat during their initial relationship in college while Pathaphi & Tamtawan owned a cat during their initial relationship)

Differences:
~ One (The Ex-Morning) is a Thai drama and the other (Business as Usual) is a South Korean drama
~ Business as Usual (6 episodes being around 25 minutes) is shorter than The Ex Morning (10 episodes being around 55 minutes)
~ Jin Hwan & Min Jun (Business as Usual) dated for a few days (around a week) before they broke up and Pathaphi & Tamtawan (The Ex-Morning) dated for a few years (4 years) before they broke up
~ Jin Hwan & Min Jun (Business as Usual) reunited after around 8 years and Pathaphi & Tamtawan (The Ex-Morning) reunited after 3 years
~ Business As Usual is based on a web novel "Eul's Love" by Moscareto while The Ex-Morning is an original work and is loosely based on the actors' (Krist & Singto) real lives

Both are korean gay romance that are taking place in an office linked to advertising/design
They are cuuute with good pairs !!

Both are South Korean BL (gay romance) dramas that take place primarily in an office setting where both lead characters share a past history of some kind and have been (unexpectedly) reunited.

In Jun & Jun, they were childhood friends that had an innocent crush on each other.

In Eul’s Love, they are ex boyfriends.

***POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING***

Both shows are BLs aka Gay Romance Dramas from South Korea. They are both about lovers that have broken up and then reunite after about a decade of separation as their connection is tested and feelings resurface.

Differences: In Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo, we see their origin story and what drove them apart before bringing them back together again. In Eul’s Love, it is set primarily in an office setting and according to the synopsis pre-release, it is going to focus first on the reuniting with explanations of the past as it progresses.

The premises are not the same in the slightest but Secret Relationships excels in areas where Business as Usual falls flat. The story is fleshed out, the conflicts are actually addressed, and the characters have more depth. The vibe of secret relationships is what I think they wanted for BAU but it just didn't hit. Here are some similarities:
- Misunderstandings due to different POVs
- Non-linear story telling by slowly showing the character's relationship histories through flashbacks
- Meeting again after a long time
- Green flag love interest (lowkey the MC doesn't deserve him)
- Office romance
