So the same exact things happened in both of their lives? The two pieces of media are hitting the same plot pieces. Two people can have the same upbringing, and same trauma/beliefs, and find different things to talk about. I understand if two boys in a church school fall in love and deal with the ramifications of that, but the white priest, the fighting scenes, and the strong believer and nonbeliever love story are too similar.

I am gay, Christian, and went to church school too, so I know what it's like to be raised in a religion that challenges who you are. I do think there's room to discuss whether these stories are too similar.

I think it's because this show took a lot of inspiration from a Taiwanese movie, "your name engraved herein". it has the same focus on:

- using the church school as a setting
- a new student and troublesome, rebellious guy and the main character who is a believer
- a priest who is white/half white and guides the main character
- fighting scenes between the troublesome, rebellious guy and bullies in public shower scenes
- religious guilt between two young gay men
- pressure from family

In the taiwanese movie, they separate and reunite like 30 years later, hopefully that won't happen here.

Do you have a link?
