korean bl.

Woo Tae Kyung joins the Saebit Boys High School Council with the intentions to make friends, inadvertently meeting his first love.

It is a cute romance of the two male leads... and them finding out their true feeling and accepting one another

They aren't really that similar, but the main characters of Light on Me did a Cameo on Best mistake, (Episode 4). Both are really cute short shows though, and worth the watch.

Both are short BLs with a school settings in which the MLs meet by bumping into each other and dislike each other at first.

-A socially awkward ML who decides to change himself for the better at the beginning of the story and ends up meeting his love interest in the process....check

- A love triangle with 3 of the softest cinnamon rolls in existence where you can't help but want everyone to be happy.....check

- Adorable and super funny side character....check

- A whole lot of cheese and good cringe....check

School setting, both are short BLs, similar feel and tone.
....................................................................

- k-bl
- enemies to lovers trope
- sweet teen romance
- results in a small kiss/peck scene
- may dislike the main lead the mc is falling for in the beginning but stick with it TT

light on me does the enemies to lovers trope right with a satisfying ending!

Both are BLs within a school setting.

Similarities
> High school romance
> BoyLove
> ML is a lonely since childhood, has not experienced friendship
> ML falls in love at the first sight

Not that these two shows are super similar but they take place in the same universe.

Although Light On Me first shows up in season 3 of Best Mistake, you need to have seen all the 2 prior seasons, of Best Mistake, to understand most season 3. Because of that, I recommend you start with Best Mistake season 1.

Also both
Takes place in a school
Are about young people finding their identities/themselves

The main leads banter with each other in the whole series in a similar way.
Rak Diao or One love is an amazing sitcom with love hate relationship

I really like the way south korea makes these beautiful BLs, where everything is just so clean and clear visually, and the acting isn't over the top. Jazz for Two and Light on Me are two of those for me. Both in a school setting with some similar tropes.

- hate to love relationship
- two loner main characters become close
- love triangle issue
- school romance
- the main character from both Light On Me and Daytime Shooting Star (the heroine) ended up not with the first person they fall in love with
- the person who ended up with the main character is supportive and always there by his/her side
