A love story of the past 5,272 km, linking the two countries, Indonesia and Japan. Elly, Indonesian students, and Ryo, a young Japanese acquainted through social media. They also met in Japan, spending time together, and eventually fell in love. However, differences in language and culture in their way. How is the continuation of their love story?

In both series an arrogant, abusive and weird male lead of significant wealth, position and power is hideously treating a resourceful but childish female lead until she falls in love with him for no reason at all. All characters are nearing their 40s and are of course virgins and never had any prior romantic relationships. Really similar main couple dynamics.

Same main characters. The best of the Iron triangle series. Hoping that they will make a third season to finish the story off with these actors.

Both cover a simple lifestyle in the countryside with many cooking scenes and beautiful scenery. It’s a slow pace slice of life kind of soothing content.

Both dramas are beautifully shot, and fall under the cooking category. Nagatan to Aoto has a little more drama, but generally is a feel good slice of life with a soothing element.

both stories are female centrist and revolves around dance, and I'd assume friendship, maybe even underdog type of plotline

Both are Thai BL dramas with a supernatural element to them.

DFF is suspense/thriller with dark scenes and an intense storyline.

GHGH is more upbeat with some humor and heartfelt moments with a storyline that has an overall positive theme.

Both have strayed away from your typical Thai BL (during time of airing).
