Both of these LGBTQ+ minidramas feature a budding romance between a restaurant owner and a marketer who initially butt heads over differences of opinion. There is minimal focus on plot, instead favoring attention to the gradually changing dynamic between the two romantic leads. They also both feature a lead who has a noticeable sensitivity to the favorite beverage of their romantic interest (the same beverage which holds a focus of the drama).
When I watch the first five minutes of Love Kome, I automatically thought of Hotaru and her sweatpants at home with a can of beer! They give us the same vibe of capable women working in an office but at home she is a totally different person.
Both are similar that one of the leads has hearing loss, they love each other, the other partner learns sign language to be able to communicate with them. The only difference is that Kimi no te ga sasayaite iru goes through life after marriage and having a child.
I automatically thought of Fight Song when I saw the plot. Both young couples love music, it is what draws both couples together. But one of the main leads ends up losing their hearing and breaks up with the other. Silent is a bit more sad and dramatic, whereas Fight Song has a bit of comedy.
Similar plots where one of the leads loses their hearing. A love story between young adults who are navigating through love and hearing loss. Lots of signing, I even learn how to sign sorry from Orange Days.
The bromance in Soul Snatcher is just as strong as the one in The Untamed. Give Soul Snatcher a try, it is a feel good movie that will relax you and leave you feeling light.
Warning : Soul Snatcher is not a BL, only a bromance. So if you are looking for a title that only has a BL relationship at it's center then Soul Snatcher may not be for you. However, I suggest you try it as something about the movie is so simple and beautiful it will move you. Kind of like watching a nice Disney movie, like tangled.

One of the actors have acted in both the titles, as a side role in The Untamed and as the lead role in The Male Fairy Fox of Liaozhai 3. Both titles have a focus on the soulmate relationship and love between two male martial artists. The Untamed has a lot of other plots going on too, but that is because it is a series and it has enough time to explore all the other plots. TMFFL's main plot is the relationship between the main leads. Both titles are good.
Nodame Cantabile is a longer version of 2 talented musicians that play the piano & become better after meeting/creating a relationship just like the Drama Special Season 1: Pianist.
For both of these specials the piano is the main subject by which the main characters get involved with each other.
The begining of the drama has some similar elements. It starts in Italy. ML in both dramas is handsome and cold and speaks Italian. They both want to use FL for their own gain and they both have the same lighter :P
- the cousin/relative dynamic where they have or want a relationship with their relative's husband.
-crazy psycho person that pretends to be a good relative behind the back but is the cause of all the problems.

Hyun Bin is the nasty criminal who is negotiating the release of his captives. A female crisis negotiator for the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency ends up in a duel with him.
South Korean agents try to save and move out of Somalia some North Korean defectors. This includes a lot of negotiations and action.
The female leads in both are the targets of serial killers who treat them as their prey as they slowly ingratiate themselves into their lives in sinister ways . The dynamics of the relationships the killers have with the female leads in these shows go in different directions but the the core stories are the same. Both shows tackle how technology and social media in the hands of psychopaths can be used as a tool to lure and harm women.
