Both of these LGBTQ+ explore non-monogamous relationships, queer relationships, queer identities, and issues related to intimacy within romantic relationships.

Both dramas are ultimately about sex education, and cover many of the same topics and issues. One of our main leads is a virgin, and is navigating these topics for the first time.

Both stories involve a male protagonist trying to piece together clues to unravel a "scandalous" mystery surrounding his interactions with another character(s). He gets his guidance from a porn-obsessed, internet-fluent best friend (who gives pretty bad and/or useless advice). He is also incredibly awkward, a little cowardly, and lacks tact during his investigations.

Both romances center around a boss and employee learning about each other, realizing their misconceptions about each other, and falling in love.

Furthermore, they both feature strained sibling relationships and manipulative antagonists.

Both of these LGB dramas present love stories that both reflect on and try to break the trend of past tragedy stemming from family pressure and homophobia.

Both Thai LGB stories feature a significant focus on marriage, what it means to be married, and marriage equality. Both stories start off with an arranged engagement (though GAP involved an arranged engagement with an outside party, rather than between the leads). Both couples have trouble communicating their wishes to each other. Sam and Kuea are both wealthy heirs, with Mon and Lian working their way up the chain in order to be able to stand by their love interests' sides.

Both of these LGB stories feature a main romance where one party idolizes their eventual love interest, and has a hard time accepting the love interest's feelings for them and believing themselves worthy of it.
