Another heartwarming show where the main themes revolve around food, sharing, community and acceptance.

Although the premise is different, both are extremely heartwarming and depict a healthy, non-toxic relationship between a cold, aloof male and a more outgoing, eccentric male.

Centered on the relationship between two men in their 40s, it deals with elements concerning the lgbtq+ landscape in Japan as well as provides a soft, heartwarming setup that ultimately makes it super pleasant to enjoy.

both dramas give off a warm vibes, which makes them easy to watch & enjoy

if you liked the cooking element in ingredients then kinou nani tabeta is similar in that sense as both dramas have a focus on food and how one of the leads cooks for the other/has a passion for cooking

the major differences is that kinou nani tabeta the relationship is already established (whereas ingredients is more of a slow burn romance) and focuses on an older couple but it's still very much enjoyable

they both portray passion of cooking with beautiful recips, peaceful musics and loveable characters.. Jewel in the Palace is a period drama and Kinou Nani Tabeta is a modern drama but i think they're not that different from each other

Call it odd, but these two japanese BL dramas both display very unhealthy relationships bogged down intense insecurities. Over the course of the dramas and their sequels, we get to watch the slow character development of the leads and, as a result, their relationships with each other. In both, the leads live together and find it difficult to confess their relationship to others - which causes tension in their relationship.

It is not a simple thing to like someone, because... many times, we dare not say anything! "If first place is the only way to make you see me, then I will never lose to you before you fall in love with me." Zhou Shu Yi stared at the class report and saw Gao Shi De’s name above him again. He didn’t understand. He had always ranked second ever since Gao Shi De came into his life. For this reason, he was excited to go to college and parted ways. He hoped to never see Gao Shi De again. In college, he joined the swimming club and was revered by everyone. He was happily enjoying college life until Gao Shi De suddenly appeared at the swimming competition during their senior year. This made him wonder why Gao Shi De always followed him wherever he went. But little did he know that Gao Shi De had eyes for him and would never let him go.

Both of these Japanese food productions center around 2 male leads who live together and already have a distinct way of life and dynamic together that doesn't really change through the course of the story, as the plot conflict doesn't deal with their relationship to each other. The leads enthusiastic about food in both stories, with the highlight of their day being eating together for dinner (or occasionally breakfast).

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.
