Dias Melhores (2020)

While they are different in terms of plot, performance, and production, both dramas are Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series. Both series cast Rex Lantano.

Both cute series and cinematography is top notch! Stories are a bit different as Boys' Lockdown is fluffier and cuter and Better Days features more realistic themes. But watch both!

While they are different in terms of plot, performance, and production, both dramas are Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series.

Slow burn romance focused mainly on the two leads sharing a room/house together with great chemistry between the actors. For a lockdown series they dont encorporate video-video calls since theyre physically in contact together. They also have similar vibes and atmosphere. Very cinematic.

Both series are centered around a cooking theme where one of the main characters is aspiring to become a chef. In both series the aspiring chefs (Tops in Ingredients and Aron in Better Days) have lost their parents whereas the second leading actors (Martin in Ingredients and Kian in Better Days) are having issues with their parents and have chosen to live away from them. Also, one of the storylines is the second leading actor helping the chef peruse his dreams. Of course both series have a BL theme and center around the more than friends budding relationship between the two.

Both Ben X Jim and Better days are Boy's love produced in the Philippines. In both series, the lead actors were close friends in their childhood.

Both Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series have Jomari Angeles as part of the cast. Jomari was a guest cast member in Better Days while he provides support in B X J Forever.
