Lovely Writer (2021)

childhood crush, adapted from novel, LGBTQ+,comedy,romance,drama.
In both series ,there is a cute childhood story.In both the series, the main leads meet many years later from their childhood.

They both deal with main characters who are past college age experiencing their first relationship. Both of the relationships are treated slowly and with care.

-similar tone. Classic romcom feel and stories. Easy watch, fluffy and feel-good. Also in terms of the production and for example the coloring.
-a romance with two working, adult men.
-the characters have mutual interest in each other but one of them does not want to acknowledge or act on it. The other one is percistent and tries to win them over.
-a hidden agenda.

If you had an issue with the YongjiexXingsi storyline due to the consent issue you can try watching Lovely Writer. It swings the other way: the leads are very concious of the importance of consent and it is highlighted many times. If you had no problem with YongjiexXingsi you might still like Lovely Writer, because of the age gap and the playfulness/maturity interaction of GenexNubsib, which reminded me YongjiexXingsi but does not offer any of the ravishing seduction from History.

Both offer a rom-com look at the BL television production industry. The characters have a similar energy in the vibe they give off. The couple chemistry in both is quite light and refreshing too.

What I love is that both series dig deep into the behind scenes of the BL industry. War of Y looks at multiple views, from managers fighting for more fame and fortune for their clients to real relationships actors have that could potentially ruin the ships they have with their onscreen partners. Lovely Writer takes the premise of BL writer and one half of a shipped couple who fall in love, not by coincidence but because they know each other from the time they were young.

Like Call It What You Want, Lovely Writer looks at the behind-the-scenes of the Thai BL world, and calls out some of the more toxic practices. It isn't nearly as dark, but it definitely raises some similar issues.

same chemistry between the 2 main leads. one plays hard to get while the other chases after him. kinda a coming-out story for one of the main leads because he doesn't realise he's gay in the beginning.

This drama also includes a writing as an occupation of the main character. And It's the reason all the story line is developing.
Plus it also has a relationship from the past, which reasons the behavior of the characters in present.

Both dramas portrayed good relationship and the acceptance of family about their chosen love. Plus, the similarity between the love of Sib and Shi De to Gene and Shu Yi respectively and the back story of their childhood as one of the reasons give similar vibes. If you'll watch both dramas, you would feel envious of the love they have. Wish you luck!

Both series resemble in some aspects: First at all, their humour is based the most time in exaggerated actions and hilarious elements.

Also, Pan and Soda, The Shipper's two fujoshi girls, enjoy writing yaoi fanfics about their male classmates. In the case of Lovely Writer, the main protagonist has to write a new BL novel through clenched teeth.

Both series use those plot proposals to criticize and parodize shippers/BL fans or, in the case of Lovely Writer, the BL industry in overall.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead

Both are Thai BL series that involve BL novels writing! in Why R U? Zol, Zon's sister, is a Y writer same as Gene in Lovely Writer. In both series, the leads have to deal with setting fiction and reality apart.
