A simple story about young protagonists. The glances once again... The summer! The nature! (a lot of pretty ocean shots here). Both of these shows are my favorite little gems.

The events of the film take place in the countryside. The nature is beautiful; the guys are precious.
As someone said in their review: "Local country gays breaking free from Brokeback Mountain story trope".

Both are BL hidden gems, where action takes place in the nature. I especially liked Country Boy 2, so I would recommend everyone to watch both seasons.

Both are Chinese productions, which surprised me in the best way possible. Both are beautifully shot and directed masterfully.

Nie Xiao Zhi's roommate (appearing in Ep 5,6,7) is the third male lead in this other Chinese BL series

Both are short BLs with beautiful cinematography and a summer setting. Both are friends to lovers, with them hesitating to take the first step.

Both feature two men spending time in nature, with the relaxing, gorgeous, and secluded environment facilitating their romance

Both have a romance with an age gap, with the younger man falling first

While the plot in both is not that similar, both stories give you the same warm feeling at the end. Both are pretty true to the queer experience, and they both include symbolism through art. While The Eighth Sense had more episodes and side stories, they both seemed to truly understand how it feels not only to pine for someone but how it is to do so while queer. I highly recommend watching both of these stories, especially if you enjoyed one of them already.

Both Love Tractor and Secrects Happened on Litchi Island are countryside queer/bl romances. Love Tractor has a comedic side also
