Both are BL series where the main characters live in a building owned by a trans or gender nonconforming person.
YYY (2020)
Similars
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
They are both slightly camp, truly silly, somewhat bonkers and absolutely marvelous in their own way. If you’re not into series like this you will find them both excruciatingly bad and not worth your time. But if you liked the one, please try the other!
Another wacky “what did i just watch” “cant take my eyes off of this” comedy from Thailand revolving around the people staying in the same building together.
Prequel to the YYY special. Focused more on the relationship between all the people in the apartment rather than just Nott and Pun.
both dramas are comedy focused and have some more absurd scenes and break the 4th wall sometimes. They also center around lgbt love stories and the endings are left rather open (YYY at least has been continued while Lily Fever seems to never get a follow up).
BL in comedy genre.
YYY is crazier, just sit through the first episode even if it feels over the top (because that IS the theme)
Both of these BL dramas are largely plotless and rather chaotic, featuring a large cast with relatively indecipherable relationships/dynamics to each other.
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.
In both BL series the lead characters are forced to share a room in a dormitory owned by a trans person.
Sitcoms about the interactions of multiple people living in the same house. In both there is also a storyline between one of the guys and a character played by Apple.
In both series one of the leads asks the other to be in a pretend relationship and then they become housemates/roommates.
Both rom-com follow a group of guys through their weird life. Even though DoT focuses more on their group of friends than their love stories, I'm sure that if you liked either of them you'll like the other too :)
Thai BL series that mix comedy, romance and a bit of fantasy/supernatural. Both are very extra and fun :)
