Burnout Syndrome

-Thai Bl
-Same actors
-Same author

I think if you liked Only Friends, you should definitely give Burnout Syndrome a chance!! These series remind me a lot of each other, in the story, which also involves romantic struggles and real life problems but also a similar lighting.

It's all about passion and progress of love not sweet love like wild love . burnout syndrome is a bit dark like nuchy s behind tit so obviously it's going to be like this and with offgun wow

Well, well, well,,, both have an artist as the leads,,, so why not??

Okay,,,, let’s discuss about it a bit…
I’m pretty sure both You Maniac and Burnout Syndrome deals with a plot that focus on ‘how complicated a relationship can be’…
I mean,,, no relationships are easy but if we’re talking a deeper relationship including romance it takes even more…
Both presenting those plot but in a pretty much ‘different’ approach…

I’d say Burnout Syndrome trying to portray how people with absolutely different perspectives but connects pretty well physically maybe ‘mentally’ (I wouldn’t say completely tho) trying to create a certain relationship that would probably be good to both…
As for You Maniac,,, I’d say,,, they both have pretty similar traits including the characters, personality, and certain perspectives regarding relationship. Moreover, they clicked well physically as well,,, buuuuut… here’s the thing… they are used to how they were… until they gotta adjust to one another…

That’s it… I’d say both are indeed similar tho~

GMMTV produced shows with a lot of overlapping casts. In Burnout Syndrome, Dew got in between the Offgun pair, while in Mr. Kill, Off seems to disrupt the DewTee pair (or he at least shows up in a similar enemy/rival role than in Burnout Syndrome). In both, the main characters is an artist too and the vibe seems more serious.
