Not the same budget but the same level of pull and drive against a repressive system. My all time favourite show and it also has Lilly, Chanel's actress as a main character <3

2gether was the acting debut of our Lovely Male Lead Bright(Namcha). He plays a lovestruck boy named Tine that just wants a girl to crush on him. Instead of a girl he get's a stalkerish crush from a boy, and he doesn't know what to do. His friends devise a plan for Tine to fake date the school heart throb Salawat.
You obviously know where the rest of this story goes so I'll leave the rest to you ;)
