- High School based drama

- Who's right, who's wrong concept
- One person who's a different ideology than the other
- Strict Rules to follow

Both dramas portray slow-burned and more maturely deep romances (instead of the shallow fluff overdoses so common nowadays), and both have sports as a subgenre (bowling here, boxing there)
FNOS is also a mix out of off-beat comedy, mystery, investigation and romance with supernatural elements an an overarching plot/narrative. Like Good Job it never takes itself too seriously and puts its leads and characters in chaotic situations for the viewer's amusement. While GJ is more grounded in reality outside of FL's superhuman ability, both dramas have the same vibe.
Both FL's/ML's start off on the wrong foot and bicker a lot, but become partners who work together on cases quite quickly.
Both dramas are well-paced with its narrative, doesn't drag.
Tropes. All the tropes you love. (Or not)
Both ML have a secret identity of sorts, in FNOS ML keeps ability to see ghosts a secret and uses it for financial gain/fame only (magic tricks) until FL comes along.
While FNOS is over the top too and self aware of it, it definitely has a more coherent storyline than GJ.
