Love Sea

Both relationships begin with a friends with benefits style situation. Both have parties that are reluctant to get into a real relationship due to varied reasons. Similar level of intimate scenes.

It just gives of the same vibes like 100% idk I guess the beach and some other things?

Synopsis Love Sea:
Tongrak is a writer of popular romance novels. While travelling in search of inspiration for his most recent novel, he chances to meet an irritating southern Thai man, Mahasamut. When they end up in bed together, however, Tongrak finds himself hooked.

I don't know how to describe it. Something about the cinematography ,maybe the natural scenery in lovesea really reminds me of " itsay".
Itsay definitely is such a masterpiece in every single way compared to lovesea .but lovesea also managed to capture some level of that angst .

Both have a seaside setting. One ML is a resident, the other a stranger who arrives. The MLs have a grumpy/sunshine dynamic and come from very different worlds.

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

Both have a lead who is a writer, both have steamy scenes (love sea is more intense). Both have cute main leads and a more dominant male lead. Both involve work issues and friendships.

Both are BL series whereby the main character goes to a rural area to find his purpose. In Sky Valley (Filipino BL), the MC goes to a mountain town with horses and in Love Sea, he goes to a beach town. There is also a side GL plot in both as well.
