The most obvious similarity is that the idol group is struggling and is in danger of disbanding.
The more subtle is the feeling you accumulate in each and every episode. It is a nice contrast of Japanese and Korean and a girl group and a boy group. In my opinion, both are very rewatchable. Definitely a must watch if you like dramas about idols, dreams, coming of age..

I miss the time when I was watching Gokusen as an early teen.
Growing up, I really want to be a passionate teacher like Yankumi. Fast forward to year 2025, running almost a decade of teaching experience, I now sympathize more to Shizuka Urumi sensei (the reluctant preacher jdorama).. I am now fed up and just mostly driven by my feeling of annoyance and yet find ways to still be effective. ??
The year before and after pandemic with f2f classes really made me feel like yankumi were in I was stuck with the hardest class, and now I have evolved to be this new breed of Shizumi sensei. ?
Keep the teacher jdoramas coming!!!

the age dynamics of the siblings are the same
9-19-29-39
in 9 border it narrates life of 3 sisters. in plus nine boys, it shows the lives of brothers with a superstition of age ending in 9.

they have these 2 in common, family and crime but also in the side of justice. jdoramas and kazoku themes are worth to check out :)
both bad lands and scams target the same age group (soft spoiler alert : they target the elderly). And yes, the writers will let you root for the scammers. hehehe
Because we are basically looking into the perspective of the perpetrators, it gives the audience the thrill of making out to the final episode if they had their happy ending or justice to the victims. This seems a no-brainer because both ending are possible, we are at the mercy of the luck of the main leads and the sovereignty of the writers. But the satisfaction of completing this kind of films are always worth it :)

similar in suspense. Haru and Akiyama are both unpredictable and it makes us excited what will they think of next.
I imagine how I got invested with liar game as i am now clicking away to the next episode with the trillion game. In liar game, they lose and Nao will be in debt, similarly, if the trillion team lose a contract, they will be a slave to the dragon bank group. So the desperation is of the same, I can say :)

the context are so different but the writing style and the calm atmosphere are almost identical.
Diary of a Prosecutor are the people who bonds over with the law, while Prison Playbook are the people who bonded by being caught by the law.
similarities despite the differences
- Each episode has a beginning, climax, and a resolution that is why you will not notice that you are at the ending of the drama, but also, you get to know more of the characters and appreciate them more as the episodes unfold.
- chemistry among the main characters and even the supporting characters that make up their office slash/ prison cells.
- mundane everyday thoughts that were beautifully written. monologues and lines that one writes on their diary. It is the everyday, but because by taking record of it, it makes it more memorable.

Both are released in the same year - 2022
this was such a delight to compare jdoramas and kdramas. You see different approaches yet they are both great and the other did not fall short! Same same but different in all the good ways
Interesting and great law cases, and with enough amount of chemistry between the leads.

they are both made in the same year - 2022
same genre - thriller, mystery, comedy
also, romance.
as a choding and newer viewer in this genre, I love that it deals with dark themes like crimes and killing, but the atmosphere is lighter making it easy to watch even for someone like me :)

Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte is one of the best romance Jdrama of 2021.
The opening of episode 1 of Koi Nante reminded me so much of Kikazaru.
The FL are both into fashion and the ML are chefs :D
aesthetic wise, might be in par with one another. would update this after finishing the series ;)

They're both chill and have slow aura.
Their strong point is the smooth exchange of dialogues. I can just listen to them for hours talking. :)
