Both are BL series where the main characters live in a building owned by a trans or gender nonconforming person.
They have the same director and the same type of comedy. Many details of YNEA reminded me many times of YYY while I was watching it (like the breaking of the 4th wall). The characters are very cute and they have very adorable/absurd moments together. What happens most of the times is crazy and that’s what makes both series hilarious. You can never predict what surreal thing is going to happen next ahah
Both shows are comedy shows. That are done terribly. But maybe it's just not my type of humour, idk.
However, if you DID find SCOY funny (are you okay? (i'm just joking lol)), you'll most likely enjoy YYY too. And vice versa.
YYY has slightly more realistic and more developed characters. But it has one major downside. Its terrible way of portraying trans women. I guess it was supposed to be comedic and funny but to me it felt more like whoever wrote these characters was transphobic and was making fun of transgender women. In this aspect SCOY did way better job. There's a really great transgender character in the show and in my opinion she's the best character in this series.
Despite being awful for most of the time, both shows do give us some rather nice scenes showing true, beautiful friendship. There are a few lessons about love too.

Lay was partnered with Perth in My Engineer but was partnered with Yoon in YYY the series so it's interesting to see the three of them in the same storyline. I wonder if we will see a love triangle between the three. YYY the series is a goofy show and is the origin story of Lay and Yoon as a BL couple.
