High School Frenemy is the actual Thai version of School 2013 Korean version. I'm a bit surprised it's not part of the recommendations.

They both have very similar premises. High School Frenemy focuses more on the relationships and Study Group has momre comedy but they're both fantastic action youth dramas!

Both are currently airing from GMMTV which are non-bl/ bromance series. Both series have really good bromance chemistry with great acting from the whole casts.

This isn't a bl explicitly but the male leads have pretty intense chemistry and tension through out that makes it better than so many of the actual bl's out there.

- At times, leads in both shows act like enemies and sometimes act like friend and in HSF (the bromance is very strong giving off a soulmate vibe for Saint and Shin)

Dark high school series vibes with bullying and fighting between students. There is also a sense of mystery and a strong and complicated (non-romantic) relationship between the 2 main male characters as they navigate the school system.

Both focus on teenage best friends in high school, where one is stronger and determined to fight to protect the other from adults and gang violence.

Both feature a conflict between the best friends as a major plot point.

Both have strong bromances.
Recommended by Grand Inquisitor
Both are set in oppressive school systems with their own unique set of rules. Both showcase class struggles between characters even though High School Frenemy is set in an ordinary school and Restart is set in an elite school.

When Siamwit School faces financial struggles, administrator Paphada decides to merge the Udon Phithak campus with the main campus, Thep Burapha, despite their long-standing rivalry.

Saint, the apathetic leader of class M.5/2, once led a gang of bullies in middle school. He’s now forced to deal with the rebellious and hot-headed Shin, with whom he once shared a close friendship, but a violent fallout shattered it. Their rivalry sparks a classroom war, and teachers Jan and Sung must unite to resolve the conflict and facilitate reconciliation between Saint and Shin.

Both the shows are about 2 best friends who grow up together but then have a big fight which breaks them apart .They meet each other again in high school where they reconcile.
They both have some good script ,amazing chemistry b/w the leads and great acting.
"I told the sunset abt u " is a BL and "high school frenemy" is a BL disguised as a bromance ?( u will understand what I mean after u watch it )
