Aside from sharing an actor (Fiat plays Korn in The Gifted franchise and Trin in Shadow), they're both about boys joining a class at an elite and highly sinister school who are determined to discover the truth through the power of friendship and see justice done at great personal risk.
Creepy boarding schools with abusive teachers that insist on being called "Master" and hypnotize their students as a form of advanced gaslighting, all while becoming surrogate parents to those very same kids? Yeah. Two nickels.
Both starts with disappearance of the character & both belongs to horror genre. In both case viewers are left with questions what happens with disappeared character. Both of them contains bullies.
- Both dramas evolve around the characters trying to solve some kind of mystery surrounding the death of someone
- Both are BLs with a darker tone than others
- Both The Eclipse and Shadow have a school setting (in an all-boys school)
Both leads suffer from insomnia and have trouble with finding out what's real and what's not. Awesome shows with good acting.
In both dramas, the characters are trying to find out what caused the death of people they knew. Both dramas have a much darker tone than typical BL dramas and are great for horror/ crime/ thriller fanatics.
