Similar plot: famous male mangaka hiddes his real name under a female pen name. Also, both dramas have romance.

Both are Japanese dramas with a ML who is emotionally withdrawn, somewhat reclusive, draws manga for a living, and wears a black hoodie. The other lead (ML vs. FL) is upbeat but has personal problems. Both have a colorful and loveable group of supporting characters.

Someday is about four different people's story about love.
Hana Yamaguchi was a successful young cartoonist in Japan. Abandoned by her parents and brought up by her grandma, she was cold and aloof and did not believe in love which to her was only a simple biological response. When the elderly neighbourhood street sweeper died, she discovered the affection between him and her neighbour which lasted 60 years. Hana could not understand this kind of love, so she decided to trace her neighbour's footstep to Korea when she disappeared with her lover's ashes.
Go Jin Pyo was a doctor who was a comic book fan of Hana. He was overjoyed in meeting Hana and believed that he was in love for the first time in his life. He decided to help Hana in fulfilling her wish to look for her neighbour and enlisted the help of a private eye, Lee Seok Man.Lee was the sole survivor of a car accident whereby his parents and brother were killed. He carried a lot of guilt towards the parents of the other victim and did his best to help out even at the expense of owing money to the loan sharks.
Hye Young was a PD of animation projects and a close friend of Jin Pyo. she didn't realize that she was in love with him till Hana appeared.
In bringing her neighbour's love story to fruition and published in print, the process changed the lives and outlook on love for these four people.

This show somehow reminded me of "Only Just Married" the plot isn't the same, but it had the same feeling. It also has that: "Oh no! the FL doesn't have anywhere to stay! Oh no! Maybe they can just live together??" kinda vibe.

In "Renai Mangaka" it's a labour contract that brought them together (I know, I can't believe I'm saying that either) as for "Only Just Married" it's a married contract.

All of the characters are also likeable despite some of them in real life would've been decribed as a demon (e.x Hayase-san) it's still plausaple and all of them are only meant for comical purposes. Definitely worth a watch if you're into romcoms with this kind of vibe..

Fujiwara Hana and Katayama Mizuki have been best friends since elementary school. When Hana’s cheating boyfriend dumps her, the besties take a trip. At a hot spring inn, they meet two guys: Narita Yosuke and Ichinose Ayumu. Early in their conversation, Hana avoids speaking for herself and Yosuke scolds her. Hana responds defensively, but his comment triggers deep reflection. She realizes that she doesn’t speak out because she is too mindful of others. With the recognition of this shortcoming, she begins to change. During this transformation, friendship, jealousy, betrayal, and quarrels percolate amongst them all. Mizuki longs to be loved despite never having dated seriously. Yosuke is despised for speaking too bluntly for the other party’s sake. Ayumu tenuously balances kindness and frivolousness. Then Ayumu’s “younger brother” Kanata joins the chaos. In the jumble, they each begin exploring love and settling into their identities.

The story centers on Misa, a career-minded woman who works in the sales department of her company. She works hard, and often puts in an effort to make herself look beautiful. But she actually has no experience in romance. She can’t act cute, she’s bad at inviting people to outings, and she’s too prideful. All the men she meets end up backing away from her. Her roommate and close friend Chihiro is a department store receptionist. She is good with kids, likes housework, and is passionate about her volunteer work; the exact opposite of Misa. They live together like sisters. But a change is coming to their lives when Misa meets the man of her dreams. Meanwhile, Chihiro is apparently having an affair behind her long-time fiancé’s back.

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....
