They are both BL movies and includes LGBTQ+ representations. The plot is very similar in terms of two males falling for each other and one being reluctant about it. Towards the end, the storyline is fast forward, showing us the more mature and older versions of the main leads. Homophobia and disapproving parents are a big part of both movies, making them realistic.
