If you loved High School Heroes, you’ll definitely enjoy Tong: Memories. Both dramas center around school life and the challenges faced by young students navigating friendships, rivalries, and personal growth. In Tong: Memories, the story follows a young fighter striving to prove himself, balancing school life, loyalty, and self-discovery — a theme similar to the courage and determination seen in One: High School Heroes.

From the synopsis, both series have enemies to lovers vibes.
Both are BLs. Both are from Thailand though Never Forget Your Enemy is made up of Korean cast.

FL ends up in the past. She tries to better her life. This is also a good watch if you want some motivation to study.

Both has the time travel storyline where the FL ends up in the past. And they strive with their knowledge.

Although the plots differ in their basics, both series are rom-coms starring a girl juggling her work and love life. Both series incorporate fantasy elements and virtual settings, and they work perfectly as romantic comedies. Yumi's Cells 1 and 2 have a more elaborate script and much more depth, while Boyfriend on Demand features a fun cast of cameos. I think if you liked one, you'll like the other.

The Hotel Professional Setting
The most obvious connection is the workplace. In both dramas, the male lead is a high-level hotel executive—a director or an heir—who is obsessed with perfection and his career. The luxury hotel environment creates a specific aesthetic and serves as the main stage for their interactions. In both dramas, the male leads are high-ranking hotel executives. Whether a CEO or a Director, they are powerful, wealthy, and deeply embedded in the luxury hospitality industry. Both men are depicted as arrogant workaholics. They live by strict rules, value efficiency above all else, and maintain a cold, distant exterior that intimidates their staff. Both women are far from the typical "damsel in distress." Whether she is a dedicated school teacher or a sharp hotel reviewer, the heroine is financially independent, has a clear set of principles, and isn't intimidated by the male lead’s status or money. They both act as a "chaos factor" in the male lead's perfectly organized life. In The Quirky and the Charming, her unique perspective as a reviewer challenges his professional standards. In 1% of Something, her refusal to be bought or bossed around completely shocks the arrogant CEO.

Brothers/brother-like dynamic.
More stuck up/bratty brother (ML) falls for his mature/kind brother's (SML) girl. Girl eventually reciprocates his feelings.
Both SMLs are in accidents early into that show which brings ML & FL closer- reluctantly.

In both dramas, the boys learn sign language for the girl. Both bittersweet. Only the end of "Hear Me Our Summer" is funny. But still good.

In both films, he thinks he's completely losing it. Gaslighting, manipulation, who can you still trust? Etc. Both films contain good plot twists and give the same vibe.

Both dramas give the same vibe. Friendship to lovers but teasing and funny. Both K-dramas always have something to laugh about, and both guys are a green flag.
