Love for Love's Sake

Korean BL, high school setting, student romance. More of a Black Mirror feel but a similar setting and probably similar vibe.

- Both are set in a school setting.
- Both are Korean bls
- Both feature one of the main lead's development from being a loner to making friends and getting along with others as well as gaining a love interest
- Both feature a cute storyline and progression between the two main leads

Both dramas are about an augmented-reality game; while the ML in Love for Love’s Sake gets transported straight into the game and has to live by its rules, the game on the other hand bleeds into the reality of the ML in Memories of the Alhambra and things that occur in the game start to get real consequences. Both has romance.

- 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)

Unfortunately this recommendation is a spoiler.

Same messages about learning to love life and find those who care about you through a game administered by death its self.

Both have similarly dark time travel/alternate universe plots. What starts off as an interesting back-to-high school hook soon develops into something far more grave. Also, the acting and production of both is very high quality. If you can stomach seeing people who are mentally in their 20s-30s falling in love with high schoolers, then go for it and watch them both.

Share themes, from reluctance to love, discovering your orientation...................................................................................................................................................

If you're into BLs that revolve around time travel and fighting destiny with the threat of death hanging overhead at all times, then look no further. Also good for fans of *actually* interesting soulmate plots.

I saw many people saying how the lead characters in Love For Love's Sake are similar/remind them of the ones in Weak Hero Class 1, just in a different universe.

There's a bit of a school-type background in both series. The MCs have very good chemistry together, and one of them is crushing hard on the other (in each drama). BCYD isn't over yet, so no comparison in endings, but I hope it has a similar kind of ending to LFLS.

Both have amazing acting from a pretty young cast - sadly both are short dramas. Here's hoping more will come.

healing dramas which is not only about romance, dynamics beteen couples are similar to some point. There are family issues to handle also, give them a try, I believe you will like it

Both are BL dramas that has time travel, with the main character as a depressed/jaded working adult returning back to high school in order to fix things/fix his past. Rearrange is a Thai BL while Love for Love's Sake is a Korean BL.

Is Xian Zun Whitewashed Today is actually kind of Scum Villain's Self Saving System (which I love) copy pasta, even though I will write it as a rec here. MC dies and goes inside a book and there is a system who tells him to be kind to other male lead and eventually make him fall in love with him

Chu Sang Woo es un estudiante de informática que valora la razón, las reglas y un sentido rígido de lo que es correcto por encima de todo. Como parte de su trabajo universitario, se le pide que trabaje en un proyecto grupal de artes liberales, por lo que el grupo debe hacer una presentación final para aprobar el módulo. Pero como el resto del grupo -de quien no sabe nada- ha decidido dejarlo hacer todo el trabajo por su cuenta, decide eliminar sus nombres y hacer la presentación en su nombre. Pero no sabía que cuando hiciera esto, le daría un duro golpe a las perspectivas académicas de un estudiante de último año llamado Jang Jae Young. Este último, estudiante de diseño, es el polo opuesto de Chu Sang Woo

Both share the same general storyline where the main character is transported into a game/system where their health depends on their ability to increase a specific person's happiness levels
