I think if you liked Only Friends, you should definitely give Burnout Syndrome a chance!! These series remind me a lot of each other, in the story, which also involves romantic struggles and real life problems but also a similar lighting.

Multiple couples, messy relationships, sex is a main theme. Only Friends is higher quality in production value, Playboyy feels like a B list movie compared to OF, it's still worth a watch if you want something just as messy. Don't expect to enjoy it as much though.

-Thai Bl
-Some of the same actors
- Multiple Couples
-Messy relationships

Only Friends: Dream On is a spin off of Only Friends released in 2023

it is the non nc verson of it lol

similar plot same director

Both are Thai BL series featuring multiple couples with different dynamics within each couple. The relationships of each couple can also get quite messy with shifting alliances between the characters. Both Deep Night and Only Friends involve a group of college friends, however, the focus is on their after school activites rather than their college life.

Both BL dramas have the type of plot of messy relationships, manipulation and backstabbing among a group of university school friends.

Se*ual content and aesthetics. Overall it is the same genre, modern BL with a lot NC scenes. There is a scene in Wandee Goodday where main leads are watching a scene on television that includes main characters form Only Friends. Even covers are similar aesthetics.

Friends with benefits.
Toxic reltionships.

Queer crew, queer story, queer characters who have messy lives. Aof and Jojo wrote Gay OK Bangkok and Jojo directed it. It's a realistic story while OF is more entertainment, but we can have both.

The dynamics of main leads r very similar and the character portrayal and psychology match heavily , ray drove me crazy when he tried to own sand but loved mew just like ming loves tong but considers joe as a replace.

Ps. Only friends is the harem of kissing everybody so avoide shipping any couple with too much craze.

The dynamics of main leads r very similar and the character portrayal and psychology match heavily , ray drove me crazy when he tried to own sand but loved mew just like ming loves tong but considers joe as a replace.
Also the chemistry is just solid GOOD ( in Only friends ), they truelly deliver LUST during their fun time

If you loved Only Friends for its messy relationships, intense chemistry, emotional chaos, jealousy, complicated feelings, and characters who can never seem to keep things simple, you should definitely give Double Helix a try.

The stories are very different, but both can pull you in through emotionally complicated character dynamics where relationships become increasingly difficult to define or escape. If you enjoy watching characters navigate attraction, vulnerability, tension, and bonds that become more consuming than they ever expected, Double Helix is definitely worth checking out. Come for the chemistry, stay for the emotional entanglement.
