Similarities:Both FLs are teachers for younger kids. Both MLs are well known/popular and fall first.
Differences: 1% is Korean and Omukae is Japanese. The MLs are kind of polar opposites in personality, one is cold/introverted, a little odd, and the other is outgoing, loud, rude, etc.

-illness
-ML's dedication
-FL's Longing

i'd personally suggest this movie to everyone.this was just amazing! simple but touching story

Both have strong female leads
Story about Immortal God in love with Phoenix
Struggles between duty and forbidden love

their relationship is kinda similar bc in the present we see them struggle with their relationship and theyre not in sync they fight and we see flashbacks when their relationship was good so in both cases we wondered what went wrong in their relationship and throughout the series we see the reasons of why the relationship failed and we see how they reconcile again and that they always have loved each other its just that the circumstances prevented them from resolving their conflict and basically miscommunication between the two

Both films focus on the creation of traditional Japanese foods, focusing on being more cinematic rather than documentary style. There are wider stories focusing on family, friendship and the slice-of-life elements. The biggest point of comparison for me, is the indirect focus on intergenerational relationships of family, both in a found family sense and biologically.

Nemuri = 1989 novel "Nemuri no Mori" (Kaga Kyoichiro Series #2) by Higashino Keigo.
Kirin = 2011 novel "Kirin no Tsubasa" (Kaga Kyoichiro Series #9) by Higashino Keigo.

Main character = Kaga Kyoichiro by Abe Hiroshi.

Theme = Investigation, drama , death, murder.

A story with a strong female who start a buisiness and be strong in adversity. But, she fell in love with a strong male who work at capital defence.

Same plot line.

Has the same plot line in terms of the guy having to act in a BL. In this show the guy gets casted in a bl show and then in this show has the same concept. Very similiar almost exact. Leads even look similar tbh

In both dramas, Fl's family is wrongly charged of treason who then takes the charge of saving the family. Ml is in very powerful position and tries to help fl.

Season 2 of the drama.

Casting is still the same, even the son is the same actor who has since grown up over the years. Their little girl who was born in the middle of Season 1 has grown up as a little girl.

Still produced by NHK.

- endings are not similar but other aspects like:
(i) school friendships
(ii) 2FL and 2ML relationship
(iii) one left out friend (fifth wheeler) like guan fang in 25 21
(iv) that one beach / picnic scene
(v) 2FL and FL are great friends

Mate is by the same author and in the same shared universe as “Blank”, “GAP”, and “My Marvelous (Dream) Is You”

“My Marvelous Dream Is You” is by the same author and in the same shared universe as “Blank” and “GAP”

Despite their inherent stylistic difference, both Owakare Hospital and To Die in a Hospital seek to examine the realities and place of death and dying (and, to some extent--grief) within the ever-changing social landscape of contemporary Japan. The presence of the hospital and its inhabitants--patients and healthcare workers alike--feel nothing short of a worldly purgatory. How can we come to terms with this looming sense of mortality? Death is unprecedented and scary. Yet, both media offer a sense of reckoning to those feelings. To have companionship at the end is to feel joy like no other. Knowing that you will greet death with someone besides you--whether it is someone close or a stranger--makes dying sound a little less daunting.
