Both consist of kdramas where there is time travel. In Go Back Couple, both couples go back in time whereas in Lovely Runner only the FL goes back in time. They both also consist of leads trying to find love.

The initial feeling is kind of similar - an older cast who do their own revenge-remembrance-redemption thing, young heroes finding their place in the world, maybe there'll be some tragedy, lots of action scenes. And there's a promise of sworn brothers in Hot Blooded, just like there is in WBDS.

- Has traditional elements in present times.
- Watashitachi wa Douka is more dramatic in terms of relationship.
- Watashitachi wa Douka is more towards traditional sweets.
- ML are training to be successors.

If you love the bromance in 49 Days then you will love the bromance in Panda and Hedgehog. Two very different stories from two different countries with great stories and relationships in common.

Light, sweet, fluffy and humorous. Both take some cliched tropes and turn them into something refreshing. Devoted MLs, irritating SMLs.

A younger ML falls in love with older ML....and puts his all/sincerity into getting the older ML despite the older's reluctance. Sweet, cute, charming. It's fun seeing the older ML also slowly/eventually fall for the younger, too ;)

You will also find a very good romance between male and female lead stars. Sword and Fairy 6 starring Yu Shuxin and Xu Kai is also a very good chinese fantasy romance adventure friendship drama series. While waiting for Love Game in Eastern Fantasy to air, I recommed to watch Yu Shuxin 's 2024 drama " Sword and Fairy 6 | Chinese Paladin 6 .

If you enjoy watching Yutaka's expressive face- which is to say Inukai Atsuhiro's wonderful acting - the Zettai BL specials are all must-watch! His beautiful face transforms to reflect all the different aspects of obliviousness, confusion and ultimately acceptance. The tone of the two series are very different but both have a warm, gentle center and make you fall in love with Inukai.

ML in Somehow 18 was in love with FL who committed suicide 10 years ago, and finds himself back to before she killed herself. In that time, he strives to stop her from killing herself and to keep her living.
