Both these dramas have the basic story line of a girl dressing up as a boy to help someone dear to them. In this case the girl is joining a boy band and she struggles with keeping her identity hidden while she's trying to get close to that one special guy. Both dramas are reverse harem ( a lot of boys falling for one girl), and they both bring up the topic of being unsure of your sexuality.

This is a japanese remake of the korean drama "You're beautiful"

If you loved Oguri Shun in Hana Yori Dango, a natural progression is Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. Hana Kimi has a much lighter and quirky tone, but jdrama is by far my favorite adaption. Yes, I have watched the Taiwanese and Korean Dramas. Oguri Shun, Ikuta Toma and Horikita Maki make up a strong center cast! Ikuta steals the lime light!

ML is an actor but not too popular anymore & broke so he rent a room in FL house.
FL is a nerdy geeky/otaku girl who like to imagine & day dreaming about romance with her favorite manga/comic book character. Remind me of Rainie Yang & Jiro Wang drama....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch romance comedy drama....
