A Shoulder to Cry On

Both are highschool Korean BL dramas where both main characters are in a sports club with running in Mr Heart and archery in A Shoulder to Cry On. Both have an enemies to lovers plot.

They both hit that emotional, high school energy. Quiet characters, emotional tension, and some familiar faces , since the main actors in a Shoulder to Cry On show up in both.

Both are slow-burn BL dramas that really tug at your heart. They focus on first love, personal growth, and the struggles of youth, mixing emotional depth with sweet, heart-fluttering chemistry. The leads’ interactions are teasing, tender, and realistic, making every moment feel a strong connection to the drama.

- School / Sports
- Kinda Enemies To Lovers, If You're Into That Trope
- Short But Cute!
- Not Much To Say, But It Is Similar.

Intelligent, jock MC x Nonchalant Puppy Male lead trope!! Very similar to this show. High school setting aswell.

Both are BL Korean dramas about two guys who are attracted to eachother but confused about their feelings. There's a bit of tension and hot and cold between them and they are both very amazing dramas. I needed something to watch while waiting for new episodes of The Eighth Sense to come out and A Shoulder to Cry On really fit the bill!

It is underrated drama. You should try it, you might like???????????

Definitely same vibes with hate turned into love. Both are Korean language BL where one guy is attracted to another and kind of bullies/picks on him.

Korean language BLs that depict a love/hate relationship.

Same High school trope and from friends to lovers and one realising his feelings for the other and the other one denials it. And both qn amazing one.

they have a ton of similarities in their stories, their own relationship dynamic and the relationships they have in their personal lives (friends, family, etc.) are similar. i wish i could actually go into more detail to explain.
