One day, Akihiro Miyata, a mid-level editor at a business magazine, visits popular university associate professor Takashi Iwanaga to ask him to write an economics column. However, that person was his first love, whom he broke up with during his high school days! It has been more than ten years since he moved to Tokyo.

Miyata, who had completely sealed off the past where he had a big love affair to the point where he promised to elope, was able to find a girlfriend who was thinking of marrying him and was living a “normal” life. Even after they meet again by chance, Miyata treats him as a business partner and vows never to fall in love with Iwanaga again.

However, he is as beautiful and talented as ever… Iwanaga’s pace, which repeatedly speaks sweetly to him… His work and private life are at the mercy of him!? Ideals, reality, pride… An over-30 boy who can’t be as honest as he used to be meets his soulmate again. What will happen to this frustrating “second” love, full of tactics…!?

Both are heartwarming and tender stories with a minimum of the trope laden pastiches of the genre. If Cherry Magic is magical, then 1000 Stars is a fairytale. Both have drama but it is the love that shines through in both tales.

While still a virgin at 30, Adachi Kiyoshi gains a magical power – the ability to read other people's minds by touching them. At first, he’s overwhelmed by his new ability, and it’s not proving to be helpful to him. But that all changes when he accidentally touches Kurosawa Yuichi, whom he learns has romantic feelings for him.

Narasaki always wished he had a quiet space to study in, so it should be a blessing in disguise that he gets to help at the library reception desk. However, he was suddenly selected to supervise Terashima, a student with bad behavior who is famous on campus. At first, the two did not talk, but in the library, where only the sound of turning pages resonates, Narasaki gradually begins to take an interest in Terashima, who has a mysterious personality.

Bright and early one monday morning, Shino Yuzuru asks Seryou Touji out on a lark when they run into each other at the school gate. Seryou, who's immensely popular, has the odd habit of going out with anyone who asks him out first at the beginning of the week, then promptly dumping them at the end of it. "Anyone" apparently includes male upperclassmen like Shino, and as a boyfriend, Seryou is perfect, unfailingly thoughtful and kind. Shino, obviously, has no intention of being in a serious relationship with Seryou

Both are BL
Both are Adapted from manga

Yuzuru asked Touji out as a half-hearted joke, not expecting to be taken seriously. Touji accepted, and Yuzuru knew he was like the rest, relationship began on a Monday, and dumped on a Sunday. What he did not expect were the feelings that went beyond friendship that emerged. It's now Friday, and the end is approaching. But is it? Yuzuru may be mourning the inevitable, but what about Touji? Friday begins the end, but Sunday reveals all.

The couples are not the conventional type as seen in this drama apart from the same gender. It is warm and can make you feel a lot of different things at the same time

Both are incredible Japanese dramas that focus on a gay couple in the most sweetest and wholesome way possible.

The biggest similarity is the fact that both dramas have no toxic tropes at all and are instead realistic and respectful in their depiction of a gay couple in Japanese society. The couple isn't fetishised at all and can be seen as positive representatives in normalising LGBTQ+ content.

The biggest difference would be that Cherry Magic focusses on the couple falling in love while KNT depicts the couple's everyday life living together.

BL romance in a workplace setting. Two coworkers must navigate their feelings for one another and possible discrimination.

"Super Rich" isn't about both of them, nor a BL series. But both of them played here and still interact a lot with each other in this new drama.
I haven't watch it myself, but seeing the both of them in one drama again is enough of a reason to start watching this hahaha XD

If you liked the romantic plot set in the office of Cherry Magic then you will also like the romance in Roommates of Poongduck 304. The romance is very cute and funny as well.
