**POSSIBLE SPOILER** Bed Friend reminded me of TWM: The Next Chapter because they both involve supervisors who make inappropriate sexual advances towards one of the leads, who is their underling, thus causing jealousy and conflict from the other lead.

Both dramas deal with rape/sexual assault in a realistic, non-romanticized way. Each drama touches on responses, including healing, from the victim and perpetrator, parents, and wider community. Cyberbullying is a theme explored as well.

Both involve groups of people trapped in a building fighting off supernatural monsters.

————————————————————-

(Won’t let me submit unless there are 100 characters so adding this inconsequential footnote).

Both dramas involve swapped/mistaken identities and amnesia (or amnesia-like) themes, as well as corruption and mistrustful in-laws. The female leads in both have similar personalities, and the humor/vibe is similar as well.

BLs centered around group sex; both are more mature and feature more explicit scenes.

(For some reason it’s treating this like a review and won’t let me submit unless it’s at least 100 characters??? Is there a glitch in the matrix? Lol)

Both are female-centered, Japanese school/youth dramas that explore questions related to relationships, sex, and sexuality in a serious and realistic way.

Both are set in a resort and feature storylines of guests beginning romantic relationships with one another.

Both dramas deal with the trials and tribulations of young adult couples once they’ve begun their relationship. The dramas are tackle more serious issues and aren’t necessarily fairy tales all the way through.

Both contain infidelity.

Both are time warp dramas where the male and female leads are given multiple opportunities, based on changing events, to save someone’s life before tragedy happens.

Both are set in school and feature a leaked sex tape (consent is dubious), bullying, ostracism, school administrators who fail to help their students, and students who take investigation and justice into their own hands. Both also had a very realistic approach to this topic.

Both are BLs that focus on couples who are young working professionals and/or university students juggling work and romance.
