Midnight Motel is lowkey the shorter and straight version of Burnout Syndrome, with less focus on romance. Both have Off as one of the leads.

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.
