The main characters like the love interests but have difficulties in expressing their feelings for them....
They have the idol wall/shrine for them and admire them

Both are BL dramas with one grumpy and introverted ML and one often smiling, popular, and extroverted ML.

For Mamoru Nekoyashiki, a doujinshi artist, the only thing that satisfies his need for approval is to sell his original BL manga at the popular Kabesa section (a section for popular doujinshi circles on the wall side of the venue) and be recognized by readers at the event. But then one day, something happens to him!

He meets Kazama Issei, a childhood friend he once had a crush on who is now a popular up-and-coming idol. Their lives in distant worlds should never have crossed paths, but you can't take your eyes off this story of two young men growing up in each other's presence!

FL is a fujoshi/geeky aka a big fan of BL love story & fantasize BL in daily life & is 1 of her hobby. ML is a normal college student but fell in love with FL even though she already told him she's a fujoshi/geeky.

While one is BL non-fantasy and the other M/F fantasy, both have one of/the ML(s) as an idol in a group, and his relationship with his bandmates is very similar as is his kind and bright personality. The other lead has past trauma or low self esteem, and both leads face great challenges to their relationship. Both dramas veer between being very comedic and very serious, touching on some important issues.

Same crazy/cute atmosphere with a bit of gay panic, same self awareness and humour and a 80's vibe for the catchy opening song. I'm sure some of the team worked on both dramas or they are copycats, and I mean it as a compliment.

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
