Noona romance. In My Fated Boy, the FL is a hard working executive secretary who puts more energy into her work than she puts into looking after herself / her apartment. In IHYV, the FL is a public defender. Although she doesn't put maximum effort into her work because she is jaded and expects the worst from people, her job is still demanding and she doesn't take great care of herself / her home is messy.

In MFB, the ML and FL grew up together and the FL protected the ML when he was bullied. The ML developed a crush on the FL and wanted to grow up to protect her, and held on to those feelings steadfastly as he was growing up. In IHYV, the FL helped the ML after a tragic event when she was a kid and he was a little kid. The ML fell for her then and vowed to protect her. The ML in IHYV also holds on to his feelings steadfastly.

Both dramas begin with the ML meeting the FL again after a long time apart, and moving in with the FL shortly afterwards partly to protect the FL but also because of their hidden feelings for the FL. Both MLs are young, energetic, clean (the type to comment on and tidy up a messy apartment), reliable and affectionate.

In both dramas the leads' parents were best friends so the leads grew up together before the ML went abroad to study. The ML returns and reconnects with the FL at the beginning of the drama, and moves in with her shortly after. In both dramas the FL is a bit worn out by her work and previous disappointing relationships. And in both dramas the ML is bright, energetic and brings a spark of joy back into the FL's life.

Noona romance. The FL is an older career woman who has had several bad relationships / little success with love. The ML fell for the FL when he was a kid and reunites with her years later, when he moves in with her.

Similar to the FL's appreciation for LZA's hair when it was long and fluffy (which earned him the nickname Flower Fairy), the FL in Kimi Wa Petto loves the ML's soft fluffy hair. His hair and eyes remind her of her childhood pet Momo, which leads her to end up allowing him to live with her as her "pet".

The MLs in both dramas are younger, artsy (Takeshi/Momo is a dancer similar to LZA's role as a singer and musician), affectionate towards the FL / make an effort to comfort her when she comes home at the end of the day, and puppy-like. The parents of both MLs disapprove of their choice to pursue a career in the arts.

Both dramas have excellent cuddles.

Noona Romance. The FL is cold and threw herself into her work after being left hanging in her last romance. The ML is kind, energetic, talented and thoughtful, but he switched career paths and his parents disapprove. The ML ends up living next to the FL and chases her first while the FL tries to keep distance between them because of their age difference.

Noona romance. The FL is a few years older than the ML. Their mothers were acquainted and the FL looked after the ML when she was a kid. The ML developed a crush on the FL before moving abroad where he grew up and later established a successful career as a DJ. When he returns to Korea he leverages the parental connection in order to be able to stay in the FL's loft, even though she still sees him as the little kid she resented because she had to look after him. While the FL is cold, jaded in love, and a workaholic, the ML is affectionate and persistent.

Both are shows made by Giga that parody big Toei Toku franchises. Also, they both start off as a show meant for all ages but have extra content made by Giga that is 18+

Both are shows made by Giga that parody Super Sentai. Also, they both start off as a show meant for all ages but have extra content made by Giga that is 18+

Kougaiger is a show meant to parody Toei's Super Sentai. So naturally, any sentai would be a good recommendation. However, direct inspiration can be seen to have been taken from Toei's Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanegerr. The suits are heavily inspired by Hurricaneger with the motif being Ninjas, a motif that Toei has used multiply times in Sentai.
