Our Youth

High school student Hirukawa in Our Youth (English title) lives with an abusive father which is kinda similar to Do Hoe in Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo.

The other thing that both of these dramas are about coming of age high school boys learn to love and depend on each other mentally to escape the harsh home environment and the prejudice of those against delinquents.

Everything is very similar. Cold/Intelligent/Emotionally unavailable main character x Nonchalant, Puppy, Mysterious male lead. The plot is kinda the same but at the same time different. Highly recommended!!

I would recommend this if you’re trying to find kind of enemies to lovers. In We Best Love, one of the characters isn’t fond of the other but the other character really likes them and wants to talk to them more just like Our Youth! We Best Love is so good and i def recommend it! give it a chance :D

Both are BLs where one dude has an abusive dad.

Similar vibe and cinematography. The dialogue is slow and intentional. The story is sweet but heartbreaking.

they have a ton of similarities in their stories, their own relationship dynamic and the relationships they have in their personal lives (friends, family, etc.) are similar. i wish i could actually go into more detail to explain.

In both dramas, one of the main leads lives with an abusive parent.

Both stories focus on a special relationship between two male students (although Miseinen is BL, while High School: Return of a Gangster is a bromance).

Even tho only 1 ep of Our youth came out at this date (9/11/24), I think they are pretty similar since we follow the story of them ( the main leads) through time and years. they are also two bl and follow high schooler that grow up closer due to different reason as time pass.(Idk if Im clear but I hope that you understand)
Sorry for my English.

Not really similar in tone but if you are looking for another high school jbl this is a good one. Keita hatsukoi has a much lighter tone than our youth. Boht couples are amazing if you liked one i would definently recommend checking out the other

Seven days.

There are two parts.
It's classic, and despite the many limitations of that era, it's still a masterpiece. Don't pay attention to the ratings and watch them. You will never regret it.
You will experience similar emotions by watching these movies with this series.

Both shows tackle characters coming to terms with their identities and feelings for one another while finding comfort in another person. They both deal with characters who struggle with things beyond their control.

While Miseinen primarily focuses on the characters high school years who struggle with their home lives/parental expectations, The Eighth Sense follows two university students and focuses more on mental health/living as an adult. (This is my thoughts ofc. I'm being very loose on the themes here...)

Both shows made me cry and felt like they covered pretty heavy subject matter. Which is why Miseinen reminded me of The Eighth Sense. ^_^

From youth to adulthood, the storyline is similar for a school setting drama. Both drama shows how they have grown and during the process, there was so much ache.

This series so far reminds me a little of this other series. It's a shame that the actor is allegedly (still on trial) a r@pist, ruined the series for me. but at least new series are coming out and they seem promising like this one.

I think they are similar because they are about the same topic, falling in love with someone of the same sex, being confused and the view of society on it...and also growing with an abusive father for H and Y.

They also have the similar vibes and colors, the characters are also kinda similar in there way of acting (idk how to say that)
