Both are Korean BL dramas that are a bit dark and talks about issues such as broken families and depression. Both also have a love triangle (or square). There are 3 guys liking the same guy in Secret Relationships and 2 guys liking the same guy in Love for Love's Sake. There is no red flag love interest in Love for Love's Sake which is a lighter show while there are many red flag love interests in Secret Relationships which is way more toxic.

Both has Toxic relationship, lack of communication at some part but good chemistry. Everyone being obsessed on the lead, etc

Both of them are directed by the great Yang Kyung Hee, so the atmospheres are rather similar.
They both have psychological elements and psychopathic attributes in a supporting character.
Yang Kyung Hee has also undoubtedly included references from The Director Who Buys Me Dinner to Secret Relationships, for example some cinematic shots in SR resemble some scenes in TDWBMD. (like Da On's and Jae Min's fancy dinner scene + Dong Baek's and Yu Dam's first dinner date)

It's not too similar but i kind of get the psycho vibe of both jin and jaemin being like "im the only one that can have him and stuff" but i think from how far i am in secret love its more toned down than secret relationships but they are both amazing BL's in my opinion (edit: it gets past the possessive bit fast but they are both still a bit similar)

Also has 3 male characters interested in 1 guy; however, Light on Me is set in high school/gentler than Secret Relationships.
