A Shoulder to Cry On

quite a few similar aspects:
- centred around a sport
- sporty lead and other lead having an antagonistic relationship that transforms into something romantic
- sporty lead stagnating in his skill of that sport until he meets other lead who shows him how to loosen up and improve
- other lead being quite happy and cheeky on the outside but having internal issues that he slowly reveals to the sporty lead

- both are Korean BL dramas
- set in a school setting
- lonely male lead who plays a sport gets to know a popular student
- include dark theme(s)

High school BL drama where two guys struggle to express their feelings for one another and start a relationship.

Japanese bl drama which has also a psychological tag. Similar length in number of episodes and duration in general.
- they both concentrate on the crush that one ml has for the other and the feelings that grow and change from there
- My Beautiful Man focuses more on an obsession and admiration kind of aspect
- In My Beautiful Man the love interest acts mean for a longer period of time before realizing his feelings (similar to A Shoulder to Cry On)
- The overall themes and way of progression of the story are fairly similar between the two

The shows have the enemies to lovers trope. There's a combative relationship....................................

The tasty florida is about a guy who moves into a new area in his town, there he meets a chef for the most poupular roof-restaurant in the area.

Both BL films show the consequences of not expressing one's true feelings to the one they love. They both take sad and happy turns on the road to love.

The setting is in a school, pretty similar to Semantic Error which takes place at a college. Also, one of the leads (kind of) bullies the other one at the beginning. It takes a while until they get used to each other and develop feelings.

If you liked the bromance in "At a distance, Spring is Green", you may like "A shoulder to cry on". In both, one of the leads has a hurt past/trauma, and the other lead helps him through.

Short korean boys love dramas in which the main character is an archer and falls in love with the popular love interest he doesnt really like at the beginning of the series.

*A Shoulder to Cry On* and *Summertime* are somewhat similar as both are **Korean BLs set in a school environment**, focusing on young characters navigating complicated emotions and relationships. Both dramas feature a **school-life setting, youthful romance, friendship, emotional tension, and coming-of-age themes**. The stories also explore characters who initially have a complicated or somewhat distant relationship before gradually developing a deeper emotional connection. Both have a relatively **soft, youthful atmosphere**, while also touching on loneliness, misunderstandings, personal struggles, and the difficulty of expressing feelings. Their romances develop alongside the characters’ personal growth, making the school setting an important part of both stories. However, their specific plots and character dynamics are different.

because of the bickering nd trying to make another ones life miserable but in the end falling harder for eachother

First of all both drama was designated to be set in a high school with those students of course.
The character of Yeonwoo resembles Dayeol (for the introverted speak less type I would say) while Yoohan resembles Taehyun (this outgoing style that can easily make friends with others . Both actually has this similar vibes which is the lovely relationship with this depressing and denial moment at the mid.

I might say Taehyun’ flower pot scene reminds me of Yeonwoo’s rope scene (even though his purpose of buying rope aren’t for that at first).

It triggers my memories and I hope it’ll lead you to find both drama pretty interesting to watch!!

Both have sport as a main theme (even if it isn't that important in APM), we still have a love/hate relationship with cute main actors <3
APM is more explicit then ASTCO
APM is taiwanese while ASTCO is korean

Both are love/hate relationship
A Shoulder to cry on is korean while Bake me please is thai, and they don't take place at the same place (ASTCO is school coded & BMP is a workplace romance)
