Both dramas are about optimistic girls who had dreams but ended up working in a publishing company doing a seemingly ordinary work. Juhan Shuttai focuses on the editors surrounding the manga artistes.
Similarities for both Jdramas:
-The main female leads (Mashiba Kurumi from Kikazaru Koi and Kono Etsuko from Jimi ni Sugoi) are strong, fashionable and straightforward. They are also hard-working at their jobs.
-All of the main leads are both considerate and supportive to their partner, friends, acquaintances, housemates and/or co-workers.
-Both Jdramas include a comical character that brings laughter to the viewers and brightens up the atmosphere (Fujino Shun from Kikazaru Koi and Kono Etsuko from Jimi ni Sugoi).
-Both Jdramas show bickering moments between certain characters (Kaizuka Hachiro aka "Tako" & Kono Etsuko from Jimi ni Sugoi, and Mashiba Kurumi & Fujino Shun from Kikazaru Koi).
-Great visual effects in each Jdrama.
-Displays positive group dynamics (e.g. the housemates from Kikazaru Koi, and the co-workers in the workplace of Jimi ni Sugoi).
-Shares valuable life lessons.
-Consists of skillful acting from all actresses and actors!
Few differences:
-While Kikazaru Koi shows viewers a balance between the main leads' work-life and personal life, Jimi ni Sugoi focuses more on the female lead's work-life than her personal life. There are fewer scenes that depict the romantic relationship development between Kono Etsuko and Orihara Yukito. However, the special final episode gives closure to their relationship.

Both dramas are about magazine publication, but give you a different take on the different sectors within a publishing firm.
Jimi ni Sugoi is about a woman who is dead set on becoming the editor of her favourite magazine. Instead, she is placed in the proofreading department of the publishing company. Although the tone of the drama is slightly different, it shows the underside of what goes on within publishing firms.

If you're into high fashion lead lady, with adorable rom com in the throw, this would be for you. Kono Etsuko is aspired to get hired into the fashion magazine she loves since she was young and was instead, being hired and assigned to the review team of the same company. But that doesn't stop her from showing her passion for fashion and for her work. It's truly a lovely and motivating series that i still love to this day
