Sleepy Strawberry

Both are darker high school/coming of age stories
- male lead is gay and severely bullied because of it
- theres also a couple more lgbtq+ characters
- several characters hide specific secrets
- some are very possessive and obsessed, mentally unstable, one in particular is incredibly infatuated with the main lead and engages in criminal behaviour

Both are dramas that have very short episode run times so you can treat them like a lighthearted snack to consume during your busy day. Both include a more slow burn romance between two adult guys. Not many sets, these two spend a lot of time in the same space.
Very funny, sweet shows available on youtube for free.

Both boys love shows are VASTLY different in plot, but i still feel they are a little similar. For one, the visual aesthetic of the paring is similar (one is somewhat taller, has lighter hair and is more submissive, the other has darker hair, a bit broader). Apart from this, both depict adults dealing with relationship complications and break ups. Still, the characters get (back) together.

Two people become involved with each other through online messages/messaging. Main characters are navigating love, romance, relationships, break-ups, hook-ups...
When it rains, it pours drops the online chatting element very quickly, while in Haru its kept until the end. When it rains it pours also has a cheating element and moves much quicker, although, Haru also has some complicated relationships and touches on relationship troubles while the characters gradually discover their romantic connection.

-Both are korean movies produced by/to watch on netflix
-Romance stories in which the male lead is popular and the fl is kind of strange or has a strange condition
-Healing together/eachother
-Both might make you cry

Teenage high school student with a passion for art/creating develops a crush on her/an art teacher.
Soft/sweet/calm vibes and atmosphere
Fruit has a stronger romance element, in my heart leaps up there isnt much progression and everything stays a mostly innocent crush

Both are slow burn japanese movies about two guys becoming unexpectedly close. Theres lots of underlying tension, frustration, longing/yearning, secret crushing in both and a similar kind of gloomy atmosphere.
LGBTQ content and themes

Short romcom shows with a gay romance
male lead is a late bloomer with little romantic experience and becomes romantically entangled with someone he works with
lots of likable side characters

Boys love dramas with the same actors playing main characters/the same main pairing (UpPoom)
- forbidden romance
- Nc content
etc.

both are boys love dramas with darker themes, crime/solving a crime setting
the mcs start off as enemies due to being/having been on two sides of a spectrum (in Trapped one is a gangster, the other is a police officer, in Prosecutors proposal one is the son of a 'murderer' the other is the sun of a murder victim)
the characters are interested in uncovering the truth behind a case/murder
have to work together against all odds which brings them together romantically

Both are short japanese indie/low budget dramas uploaded to youtube with subs. Both feature a romance between two guys too.
Shujin-Ko, though, focuses on multiple mains and on college/university students while colors is about 30ys, one being very inexperienced when it comes to love.

Raw, devastating, brutal coming of age stories. Focus lies on several (queer) high school students who have to deal with (extreme) school bullying, homophobia, having to hide their identity and struggling to open up to others, and even S/A. Theres kind of a romance between two characters and some solidarity/friendship building but dont expect happy endings for all.
