A Shoulder to Cry On (2023)

- School / Sports
- Kinda Enemies To Lovers, If You're Into That Trope
- Short But Cute!
- Not Much To Say, But It Is Similar.

Both are BL Korean dramas about two guys who are attracted to eachother but confused about their feelings. There's a bit of tension and hot and cold between them and they are both very amazing dramas. I needed something to watch while waiting for new episodes of The Eighth Sense to come out and A Shoulder to Cry On really fit the bill!

Definitely same vibes with hate turned into love. Both are Korean language BL where one guy is attracted to another and kind of bullies/picks on him.

Same director and production company.
Both feature Omega X members/ idol actors.
Both are Youth Dramas and have a school setting.

Korean language BLs that depict a love/hate relationship.

Same High school trope and from friends to lovers and one realising his feelings for the other and the other one denials it. And both qn amazing one.

It has the same trope of enemies to friends to lovers and both are kind of painful in the middle but with happy ending and both acters chemistry is on top-tier and amazing plot too and both are superb series!!!

quite a few similar aspects:
- centred around a sport
- sporty lead and other lead having an antagonistic relationship that transforms into something romantic
- sporty lead stagnating in his skill of that sport until he meets other lead who shows him how to loosen up and improve
- other lead being quite happy and cheeky on the outside but having internal issues that he slowly reveals to the sporty lead

similarities:
- bl
- enemies to lovers
- one lead struggles financially and his scholarship gets threatened by his love interest

differences:
- “a shoulder to cry on” is korean, “dangerous romance” is thai
- “a shoulder to cry on” is a short length series
- in “a shoulder to cry on,” the scholarship student is also athletic (archer)
- in “a shoulder to cry on,” the love interest is a popular student while in “dangerous romance,” the love interest is a bully
- in “dangerous romance,” the scholarship student is a tutor to the love interest

Both are Korean BL dramas set in a school setting. It features a lonely male lead who plays a sport and gets to know a popular student (the other male lead) and eventually develops a love interest. Additionally, both include a dark theme.

High school BL drama where two guys struggle to express their feelings for one another and start a relationship.

Japanese bl drama which has also a psychological tag. Similar length in number of episodes and duration in general.
- they both concentrate on the crush that one ml has for the other and the feelings that grow and change from there
- My Beautiful Man focuses more on an obsession and admiration kind of aspect
- In My Beautiful Man the love interest acts mean for a longer period of time before realizing his feelings (similar to A Shoulder to Cry On)
- The overall themes and way of progression of the story are fairly similar between the two

The tasty florida is about a guy who moves into a new area in his town, there he meets a chef for the most poupular roof-restaurant in the area.

Both BL films show the consequences of not expressing one's true feelings to the one they love. They both take sad and happy turns on the road to love.

The setting is in a school, pretty similar to Semantic Error which takes place at a college. Also, one of the leads (kind of) bullies the other one at the beginning. It takes a while until they get used to each other and develop feelings.
