Very different in tone, but both have a ML who has a demon personality trapped inside him that is slowly taking him over. In both, most of the world wants to kill the ML to destroy the demon, but the FL is determined to save his human side.

Very different in tone and length, but the FL in both is able to summon the ML who is a supernatural being.

Both are short dramas that start out light and fluffy then get more serious toward the end. The ML has a more sinister, darker personality trapped inside him that is trying to take control and who the FL is trying to save him from. Both FLs are from modern day and have traveled back to ancient times where they met the ML. Both FLs have some form of magic and are connected to the ML in a supernatural way. The ending is open but the two reunite in some way in modern day.

Both are stories of teens coming of age and falling in love, set in beautiful seaside towns. ITSAY is a bit more dramatic and has a lot more going on in the background, but it is also much longer. His is simple, short, sweet and very genuine. Both are very well written and have great conversations about what it is like to fall in love and grow up as a young adult.

In both of these dramas the main character is con artist portrayed by Seo In Guk. Both dramas also feature elements of comedy and mystery.

In both dramas a skilled make cook impresses a customer with a different dish he creates by the customer's specific demand or liking.

In Donburi linchou it's mostly the same customer... Also DL is about high-schoolers (same with cook), while Shinya shokudou has many different customers (even if some are regulars) and they are mostly adults together with the cook.

In both we observe the cook preparing the dish.. and the client eating it.

Both dramas r very funny n unconventional which maybe considered weird n creepy at times .Non fluffy but cute in a way n both r so much entertaining.

Kim Rae Won in both movie. He played gangster, unwilling force into tough position. Gentle eyes, brotherhood, royalty, strategy, …

I recommend this movie because same main actor playing gangster, street fight, hardcore defense, he showed both soft and tough character.

Both movies were about the earthquake at Tohoku, the family searching for the missing family, how the survival and family cope with the lost. The supporting system, the friendship bond, the difficult time some people went thru …

Similarities-
- Good cinematography. Shot artistically and a bit bleakly
- Related to a popular male escort who is emotionally aloof but deeply lonely
- Have a male admirer who wishes to be close to them that the ML initially rejects
- Both have situations where a male lover is protective and even violent in order to protect the ML
-Slight violence in both related to the prostitution industry
-Great acting

Differences-
- Very different story.
- No Regret is more narratively plot-driven. Moneyboys is much more of a character study.
- No Regret has a happy ending; albeit a bit unconventional and a bit polarizing to some viewers.
-There are fewer explicit scenes in No Regret, but the very few that are evident are a bit more graphic.

Idk what to say it gives the same vibe , chill suburban life , same feelings towards life, world -weariness in characters but not minding the little joyful moments

Character develepment, finding and start to loving yourself.. slow-burn and very strong, beautiful storytelling.. two wonderful shows + both are lgbt+ stories

Another wholesome Japanese Bl dramas which are 10/10. Chemistry between leads, comedic aura and cute, fluffy story are just <33 but after all, there are other similarities, too. For example, obe of the main character has low self esteem and other one is 'cool guy'

Both have strong, independent and career-oriented FL who fell out with their dreadful ex. Then come along our younger ML who's caring and smitten with the FL.

The perfect noona romances that you can't help but swoon for.
