That Summer and Dangerous Romance are connected through their emotional and romantic atmosphere rather than their story. Both share a very sentimental soundtrack, a soft melancholic tone, and a dreamy romantic vibe that makes the emotions feel intense and nostalgic. They also use warm visuals and light-filled scenes, especially sunsets, to enhance the feeling of love. The main difference is that That Summer feels lighter and more nostalgic, while Dangerous Romance has more emotional tension and conflict.

Two boys wake up in a parallel universe after an accident and are forced to live each other’s lives while searching for a way back. In the process, they develop a close emotional bond built on trust, support, and self-discovery, with a soft and dreamy romantic tone.
They share a gentle, dreamy emotional romance and a reflective mood, but it is more focused on fantasy and identity than a nostalgic, warm, summer-like atmosphere.

Both dramas star the same actors, both are romance BLs about building a relationship.
