The Jungle (2023)

Vibes are less rom-comy but has some similar sexual tension and developing deeper romance.
There are multiple couples/ storylines in The Jungle and one does take place in an office setting.

- both are created by the same author.
- both series are under the same production team.
- both series tackles toxic friendships.
- both are same gender centered (p.s. i hate you were female centered while the jungle are male centered).
- 4 of the casts were also part of (pat, aye, lee and guy).

similarities:
- thai drama
- produced by gmmtv
- will air in 2023
- multiple mains
- problematic and fractured friend group
- heavy drinking environment
- dark tone and themes

differences:
- "only friends" is a bl
- "the jungle" deals with revenge and murder while "only friends" tackles toxic relationships (cheating, blackmail, friends with benefits)
- the leads in "only friends" are university students while "the jungle" seems to take place outside of school

no string attached sexual relationships in both series, one night stands and nights at the bar...
a lot of drama and some mystery.

Both are Dark Sexual Dramas that has multiple storylines and a flirtatious group of boys.
Playboyy has a bit more mystery and plot to the story where as The Jungle has more individual character development plot focus.
Playboyy is a BL while The Jungle has only straight couples.

The stories are quite similar. Precious Hearts Romances are stories of peer group called Bud Brothers while The Jungle is stories about a group of good-looking young men who are called "The Jungle". Some stories between their characters are quite similar, and the similarities are really obvious. You'll see it when you watch it yourself. You'll be amazed!
