It's the Older Version of Suphap Burud Satan..
With lot's of Silly fights between ML & FL...
Second leads were also good at acting in both dramas....

'Kabe Koji' differs slightly as the lead is not in the same profession as his crush (idol & doujin artist), unlike 'BL Drama' where both leads are actors. However, there are many similarities between the lead's admiration/obsession with their respective crushes, including being secret fans of their famous crush, having a collection of their merch/shrine and a connection to said crush in their past.

They have a similar bubbly extrovert vs cold introvert dynamic, sprinkled with an inability to communicate well.

They also both have a similar style of Japanese comedy, which is silly but not too over-the-top. If you like one, I'm sure you will enjoy the other.

Both shows explore a crime in a country side/ village lole setting and also share a common theme of familial relations.
