this rec might be a bit off the hook, but when I watched the first ep of Shut Up! Flower Boy Band, when I saw first two episodes of Gakkou Kaidan, I felt rock'n'roll ... that's it

They were both about poor handsome men trying to build up their music career because they enjoy it and they need money. In both of them there's a girl who is in trouble because of her dad. SUFFB is more about the music than the romance whereas Mary Stayed Out All Night seems to be more about the romance than the music. Either way you see people trying to make a name for themselves and even though they are doubted by many, they will do anything to suceed.

Both dramas deal with similar issues, about finding who you really are and what you want to do with life. Both have music as the main theme.
