Both of these shows feature a ML that was raised by his grandfather, both MLs have to deal with death/grave illness of said grandfathers. Both shows are healing journeys that help MLs transform into better people.
While Merman is more funny and Grocery Store is more serious, both have a similar vibe

They have the same main actors, a similar dark tone, the 'revenge' tag, and they're both gay romances.

This has a bit more adult theme and its Japanese but I do find few similarities based on vibes. It's about learning more about yourself.
The main female character is very shy and introverted but slowly learns to stand up for herself due to the support of the male lead and her friends.
They are both very fiction-ly. As in they both have a very unrealistic way of reactions similar to that of webtoons and mangas with animations and vfx with over-exaggerated reactions to situations. And the unrealistic club spirit fingers similar to the group of very unique women in princess jellyfish. One is about drawing and the other is about fashion.

Same plot with child being hidden from a parent for many years

Same separation caused by one of the parents as they didn't approve because of status

Same one lead is poor, the other rich, misunderstanding

Controlling parent of a lead, creating misunderstanding and forcing child to follow the path set by them.

Both BLs have the redemption or second chances theme. Gloomy and introvert MCs with their aloof or extrovert MLs.

Both are romance dramas in which the main characters are gamers who become closer and fall in love through this shared interest.

- thai BL series
- MaxkyBas as a main couple in both, Bas portrays a gamer
- same studio and same director

If you like this, you should like Fight for you, and if you like Fight for you, you should like Promise of the soul. I think Promise of the Soul is another show with the same universe of Fight for you. Fight for you and Black and White is Real have the same MLs so I think you guys should like it
