Both deal with suicide/attempted suicide and depression. (They don't necessarily say that outright, however one main character from each movie has similar feelings of sadness and/or hopelessness.) They both also feature a main character that gets better/feels better when another character becomes close to them.

Both are similar in that one of the male leads leaves his office job due to workplace-abuse and learns to enjoy life a little more with the help of the free-spirited male lead.

To Each His Own focusses more on workplace abuse and handles serious topics such as suicide while Restart is light-hearted in comparison and focusses on the relationship between the male leads.

Both are exceptional and if you like one, you're likely to enjoy the other.

both has a bromance/lgbt side and they definitely give same energy. We can see 2 people, one is suffering depression/has problems and other one is trying to help him in both shows

they're giving countryside energy. Both show ara calm but not boring. There're bl/bromance element and we can see adult life difficulties + depression maybe.. two beautiful stories from Japan

in both of them,the main character has depression .they are suicidal and kind of want to end all of their sufferings as it is being hard for them to coup with everything that are happening in their lives.And then they find a person/people who helps them to find new meaning in life and start over again.

A change in the stakeout team throws Onoe, reporter for a weekly magazine, together with his contemporary, Kaburagi, a photographer. Onoe secretly considers Kaburagi his rival, and Kaburagi's haphazard way of doing things goes against Onoe's strong sense of ethics. There's nothing but conflict between them. But, in joint pursuit of a scandal, the two of them begin to care about each other...? ~~ Adapted from the manga "Ameiro Paradox" by Natsume Isaku

the 1st ep of Kkondae Intern had the same mistreatment/bullying by the senior in the workplace as To Each His Own
Recommended by XingBack
To Each His Own is bromance but it never stop the similarity between two shows. One man tries to help other one to feel really happy, get rid of stress, tiredness and unhappniess because of work. They both lovely stories which include not just love but life, too

When Kosuke was 14 years old, his mother died. As a young gay person, he spent his adolescence in a rural village and suppressed his feelings. Now, Kosuke is all grown up and he works as a fashion magazine editor in Tokyo. He meets Ryuta, who works as a personal trainer. Ryuta's mother raised him alone and he is close to his mother. Kosuke and Ryuta become attracted to each other and they sometimes spend time with Ryuta's mother. Kosuke is happy to share time with Ryuta and his mother, which makes him remember his late mother. Kosuke and Ryuta make an appointment to go for a drive together, but, on that day, Ryuta does not show up.

A mysterious man, appears out of nowhere when a salary man is completely lost and helps him find the meaning in his life, happiness and love.

Both are beautifully made and carry a similar message. If you want something less strong than death's game then To Each His Own is perfect.
