These are two workplace BLs that feature a romance between the team manager and a younger subordinate. Both of these character-driven dramas focus on a male lead who's become quite depressed with life and has settled for a monotonous routine of work, home, and sleep. That is until the other male lead comes in and re-introduces him to the "colorfulness" of the world.
