Dinosaur Love

-Both BL
-University Students (Engineering)
-Relationship between Leader and freshman

To be honest this gives me a lot of Sotus vibes but in my opinion Sotus is better...but it is just my personal taste :)

Both dramas highlight a toxic relationship between two students. In these toxic relationships, both series show the ex of the main character is not wanting to move on and harassing them. Both series show how the actions of the toxic ex is negatively affecting the life of the main character and how the main character deals with the situation they are in. They both also incorporate mature topics such as harassment, SA, etc.
I do think 'The Effect' is a little bit more intense than 'Dinosaur Love'.

These two dramas gives off same vibe, the university setting, the cutesy bottoms. I'd say my engineer is lot more better and worth watching. The story and events are different. My engineer have side stories and fun to watch.

For the viewers who get a kick out of watching badly done dramas, they are both such train wrecks that it's amusing to watch.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.
