BL dramas in a workplace environment where a boss is determined to have a romantic relationship with one of his employees.

Both are Korean Language BL dramas set in a workplace environment. A new employee and his boss begin a relationship.

Both Chinese BL films where two guys work together and share a pretty toxic/complicated relationship. One is the boss of the other. He takes a girlfriend, and this makes his subordinate jealous and deeply hurts his feelings. In both films, the boss character can be extremely possessive and unreasonable at times, while the subordinate is more mild and tries to hide the depth of his feelings for his boss.

Similar because they are both Chinese BL films with master-slave dynamic. One guy is really possessive over the other and can be mean/abusive at times towards him.

Both show an individual who is extremely remorseful for the accident they caused. Despite doing everything they can to seek forgiveness from the family, it is never enough. They are harassed by the family to the point where we, as the audience, must ask ourselves who is in the right and who is in the wrong? The vengeful family? Or the remorseful perpetrator?

Both movies show a family who is grief-stricken by a horrible incident involving their child. A young man who is connected to that incident begins to work for the family. The endings are very similar in scenery and writing.

Both these films offer moral dilemmas that ask the audience to examine the nature of forgiveness. We see an ex-con go through many hardships in their search for acceptance back into society. These films also explore the relationship between a perpetrator who seeks forgiveness and a victim who must decide whether or not to give it.

Both films show an ex-con who can't catch a break. Even though they have reformed and are trying to get on with their lives, they are haunted by their past crimes. They seek forgiveness, but it always seems to elude them. Society treats them horribly no matter how much they repent, and they are continuously ostracized. These films also beg the question: do these ex-cons deserve such treatment? At what point do the 'good' people become bad from their unwillingness to forgive?

Both are starring Cha Hak Yeon in a role where his character is put in an unfortunate situation. Even though his character is considered criminal, we can't help but empathize with his plight.

Episode 23 and 24 of Sweet Revenge (2018) and Episode 4 of Hunted (2022) have very similar stories about school bullying. In both stories, a weak school boy is preyed upon by a psycho student who pretends to be his friend in front of others. Behind closed doors, however, they are anything but friends.
