From scandalous sex to drugs, he’s done it all-- Haley Lusk is a bonafide Hollywood Bad Boy, in the worst way possible. After a very public and drunken confession to America’s Sweetheart, Noah Raycarlton, his reputation finally hits rock bottom. Haley turns to some supernatural blood magic as a last-ditch attempt to repair his life, which ends in his body being possessed by the soul of a mercenary named Mason Taylor. Mason, while not confident in acting, seems to have a deep-rooted history with Noah. What kind of traumatic past do the two of them share? And, what really happened to Haley Lusk?

cgfneve cgfneve says...

the mangas are both very familiar in all sorts of ways. the plots pretty mcuh the same and on both of the stories the mc switches bodies with somone that tried to kill theirselves and the mcs real body was somone strong and so on. in both of them the mc realises that the mc is their lost loved one and does evrything to get them to admit that and they end up together in the end in both of the stories. both of them are relly good and if you liked one og them then you will probably like the other one as well. i really loved both of the stories and rate them both 10/10

softsong softsong says...

In both Korean webtoons, we have a dark-haired rich kid (the physical body of the protagonist in At the End of the Road) with "amnesia" who gets thrown into a situation where he has to figure out the motives of those around him. One of these ways is by viewing videos of his younger "self" to piece together the tragedies of the past.

Our protagonists in both are tough and discerning, not putting up with BS and not giving his trust readily to the shady blond who seems obsessed with him. The other male lead is a beautiful-in-a-dangerous-way tall blond with ties to the protagonist's past. The main character distrusts him but the blond guy is very attached, having lost him before, and welcomes every scrap of attention.

Flashbacks reveal why he is so completely devoted to the main character through their shared childhood/adolescence. The situation currently is a reversal of dominance from their childhood days. For important reasons, the main character does not remember or deliberately avoids bringing up the past that they had in common, choosing instead to treat the blond as a stranger that was introduced relatively recently.  

I would whole-heartedly recommend fans of either series to read the other. Both have a dark atmosphere, a mystery of memories and identities and a similar level of non-explicit romantic content alongisde the gripping plot. 

Konzenkoryuu Konzenkoryuu says...

While Moritat seems more confusing structure wise, they both have somewhat similar main characters. And the fact that everything the other male lead is doing for them is out of love, of course.

Both are amazing and have a light boy love genre etc etc etc.... I love both and they have a similar feeling to each other while reading

softsong softsong says...

Both Korean webtoons are about a dark-haired main character who was once the tough guy in the neighbourhood and had previously saved the weaker blond guy in their childhood past. Unfortunately, they lost contact after being separated. Now that the protagonist is older, he has mostly forgotten their shared past and is weaker (physically in At the End of the Road, emotionally in A Guy Like You).  Meanwhile, the blond guy had changed to be more powerful and cynical so he could fend for himself without his childhood saviour, also his first love. When they meet again, the tsundere protagonist cannot or pretends not to recognize the blond guy, infuriating him. A push-pull relationship ensues. 

Clemencia76 Clemencia76 says...

The plot revolves around characters that have a connection based on childhood friendships.  The characters are of different social statuses, which have become largely reversed since their younger days.  A large part of the conflicts of both stories is the social stigma around homosexuality which impacts the protagonists.  

ZurakoDesu ZurakoDesu says...

both have a setting where the two mcs face a lot of difficulties but overcome them together and end up together at last. also the seme in both the manhaws look kinda similar and have similar characteristics

Chocolate16 Chocolate16 says...

They are having the same author and the same feeling when you read it. The drawings are similiar to each other and it is a BL like "At the end of the road". I think the only difference is mad dog is a little bit more brutally because the people are dying.

Sidraf Sidraf says...

Similar character relationship dynamic; a dominant, untouchable, crazy character obsessed with the lead who can handle their own.

Both of these stories are thrillers with characters trying to uncover and get revenge for disturbing traumatic events

They both give off dark vibes. And the semes for both are kind of toxic. I recommend reading them both if you would like something angsty.

oroborochi oroborochi says...

Both stories feauture a possessive 'seme' lusting for a supposedly strong 'uke'. Both feauture questionable side couples, though Out of Control's resolution is much more complete than At the End of the Road. If you were at any point uncomfortable by OC's male lead, don't read AER, he's much worse. 

The Last Zombie

The Last Zombie

Dajeong has lived with Dr. Lee Sehyeon for as long as he can remember, but his memories are muddled and don't go back very far. All he knows for certain is that the doctor must give him an injection every day, his diet can only consist of raw meat, and he is forbidden from venturing outdoors. He is, in fact, the last surviving zombie from an outbreak that humanity managed to contain a decade ago, and was the product of an experiment that Dr. Lee managed to rescue him from before he could be disposed of. The doctor knows that he can't keep Dajeong hidden forever, just as he knows that Dajeong's questions about why he is "sick" will one day need to be answered. He slowly begins introducing Dajeong to the outside world, but things become more complicated when his undead patient begins to fall in love with him.

It kinda has both ways of experimentation, and it is full-color. Although, by far they are most together because the BL story is just so good.
