Choco Milk Shake (2022)

A story about how a girl cross path with a man that’s also a dog. They slowly learn more about each other and eventually fall in love.

Both are short-length dramas in which the ML/one of the MLs is a dog and has dog-like characteristics. Both dramas have a sweet/endearing tone, and features co-habitation.

they're both love stories between one human and non human who became human. One of them is animal snd otjer one is teddy bear

both are adorable and make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Romantic dynamics are similar between them.

Some indecision/personal understanding leading up to the relationship.

Both are BLs with a human ML and a human/animal ML(s) with animal characteristics/personality living together.

Choco Milk Shake and A First Story both have some really sweet and fluffy vibes. They are both produced by the same company Strongberry.

Both the series feature at least one of the main lead who have passed away and explore the concept of void left by their departure. Choco Milk Shake has a lighter tone though.

Unconventional love interests melt their "owners'" hearts. In Choco Milk Shake, you have a man who's unlucky in love falling for his formerly deceased dog. In Anti Reset, a man who's never known love finds it in a caregiving AI. Both are sweet romances with odd plots.

At first, they don't seem all that similar. However, both dramas involve 2 men who come to earth from heaven (gods in Handmade Love, deceased pets in Choco Milk Shake) with the intention of it only being temporary to fulfill their mission. The endings of the dramas are where you'll find the most similarity, with a somber sense of whimsy as they decide what to do once their missions are over, and the comradery/love they settle into.

One is the drama, the other is a cute side story.
.................................................................................

They both have Lee Jae Bin as a main actor (lead couple) & they're both korean BL !!
Even if Choco Milk Shake is less serious, with a topic more joyful and calm, Gray Shelter is following the path of a BL with well written characters, sad backgrounds, and (to me), realistic characters, with real behaviors

Both are short length dramas in which one or all of the MLs are cats in human form, aiding humans. One has a café setting and the other a bar.

Both are BLs about the relationship between one of the leads who is human, and the other lead who is a cat(or dog)/human shapeshifter who begins living with the human.

The two stories are about a lonely man living aimlessly who meets a stranger who turns out to be a reincarnated childhood pet of his.

While in Beside You only the cat turns human and is the love interest, in CMS both deceased cat and dog return reincarnated to their owner, the dog being the love interest.
