Both of these are “romance” oriented (series vs film) with one hearing and the other hard of hearing/deaf leads and their relationship.

Story? Plot? Nope, don’t need that here. Good looking guys including Lee Long? Now you have my attention.

These Thai dramas will likely give you a headache when trying to follow along so my advice would be to make a game of it and enjoy the weird experiences that are these shows.

1000 Years Old and Ghost Host, Ghost House are both BL (LGBTQ+) stories with supernatural elements to them. Neither of them have really intense scenes despite this. They both involve a romance where one MC is clearly interested in the seemingly oblivious other ML and it takes a while to communicate these feelings. Both are very easy to binge watch and have likeable side/support characters.

Side note: 1000 Years Old is focused on the vampire aspect of the supernatural world with hints of ghosts being present whereas Ghost Host, Ghost House mainly focuses on the ghostly side of the supernatural with hints to magick.

Jack & Joker (uncut) is about a thief and a mafioso-esque enforcer that start off with misunderstandings and negative backlashes. After some time the two “reunite” and one tries to make amends to the other who doesn’t seem to want that. Romantic feelings linger in the foreground as the two cross paths time and time again. What will happen between these two being seemingly fated yet stuck in a bad situation? Violence, theft, disguises and more await!

Punk Spy has undergone a few redos of its synopsis at the time of this recommendation. It also is supposed to be action packed with romance and misunderstandings, dangerous situations, and some light violence like Jack & Joker. It was implied that it would entail some underground crime and maybe disguises like J&J as well. But since we do not know if or when this will ever be released, I highly recommend Jack & Joker in place of it - especially the Uncut version!

Both are dramas (one series and one movie) that are centralized around musicians. Wish You is a South Korean production whereas First Note is primarily Taiwanese. Both involve a singer/guitarist and a keyboardist. Both have troubles the main characters encounter, especially during their budding romances. Both involve street performances and record companies. Overall similar settings and set ups but also completely different feels and hiccups in their journeys. If you enjoy music based dramas, both are recommended to try!

***POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING***

Both have a similar base story - university setting, a popular “hot” guy that everyone obsesses over and an innocent sweet “cute” guy that people can’t help but adore fall for each other. Friends are very supportive of them except for two-faced jealous immature girl that tries to sabotage their budding relationship going as far as spreading false rumors, stalking, hiring lackey(s) to help, and even physical violence.
