Hi, you depressed goblin! You want a sad BL to stop being sad about your life and to be sad about something else? Here you go!
- They are both sad/bittersweet ending BLs.
- Mitsuru and JaeWoo both had to lose their loved one, and they knew it would not end well.
- Both showcase an alive ML in a relationship with a dead ML.
They are good dramas for when you want to feel sad and traumatized. I have yet to recover from the ending of both. Beware of the afterward impacts.
Good watch! (and good luck with all the trauma <3)

It is their first meeting since the abrupt farewell during their third year in middle school, 10 years ago. Ren was his best friend and his first love. He is as strong and good-looking as ever… And Kazuma is happy just being with him. However, Ren avoids the subject of their time in middle school rather unnaturally and acts like a friendly former-classmate… But he’s behaving this way because he is gay, and above all, fears being rejected by Kazuma. Yet one night, the two of them get together again…?
It reminds me of history 3: MODC with how one of them was smart and quiet but the other one was more social. Even though in history our social boy was bullying our quite boy before he fell in love with him but I think the way one of the main characters had an accident from both dramas are similar so you will love it.
