The similarity in both Never Forget Your Enemy and Secret Lover is that the main couples are childhood friends that turn to lovers.

You will like plus and minus because,

Both are BL dramas that feature the main characters starring in a Uni-play that is gay version of Romeo and Juliet. Main couple teetering the line between friends and lovers. Some toxicity and jealousy.

I found it similar the second I watched the pilot of Friend Benefit, also I have to watch Secret Lover, and I think Jai's character is not red flag as it was shown in the pilot, it probably more like a yellow or orange, he was probably dating those people who were actually Pik suitors, which was exactly what happened in Secret Lover, Tuo had a secret crush on his friend, but he hated with other people who were Jingxi's suitors, that's why we didn't saw anyone confessing him because Tuo was already clearing them away from his best friend, he was possessive, he didn't wanted to share his bsf with anyone, it's the same thing for Jai as well.

Both are Taiwanese BL dramas with a friends to lovers type of plot where one is secretly in love with the other. There are some conflicts and misunderstandings that cause the BL couples to face difficulties in their relationship.

Both are Taiwanese BL dramas with both sides of the main couple having very different personalities. This together with miscommunication drives most of the difficulties in the BL couple relationship.

There aren't any plot similarities between the two dramas, but if you like the obsessive and yearning ML paired with the calmer and more level headed ML dynamic, you will love both BLs. Both dramas are masterpieces, but Secret Lover won't give you nearly as much trauma as To My Shore lol.
