Frenemies to lovers and the characters are pretty similar. The starting episodes both line up with the fact that they have some scenes where for example, Jinn falls on J and they get really close, the main difference is that they are in different time lines and dare you to death seems to not have a side couple.

Japanese Latin dance champion Suzuki Shinya and Japanese standard dance champion Sugiki Shinya are both famous dancers. Although they are in different fields, their names differ by only one letter. Suzuki, who hates to lose, is irritated by being compared to the other dancer. One day, Sugiki suddenly invites Suzuki to "aim to be champion together in 10 Dances." 10 Dances is a competitive dance where dancers who have mastered both Latin and standard dance compete in a total of 10 dances.

Suzuki initially refuses Sugiki's proposal to teach each other and aim for the top because it seems too reckless. However, he is overwhelmed by Sugiki's provocative and competitive attitude and accepts in anger. The two are polar opposites in terms of personality and everything and they clash, but as they take lessons every day, they work hard together and gradually close the gap. Then, Suzuki gradually realizes that he is starting to be attracted to Sugiki.

In both stories, the characters develop a relationship over time, which gradually evolves into romantic feelings through close interactions. Additionally, separation, obstacles, and the possibility of reuniting form the shared theme of both narratives.

Pretty much same type of story:
- ML is powerful (in one mafia in one marshal) and obsessed with FL
- FL is powerless, kind of learned to love him but wants to leave and be free
- ML has nice sides but makes too many bad things
- FL is attacked by persons because of her relationship to the ML
- Time skip (for quite similar but not identical reasons)

These shows have a lot in common aside from both being competition survival shows, despite Culinary Class Wars being about food and Just Makeup is about makeup. Similarities include contestants going by nicknames, with some being recognised experts and top professionals in their fields. And the judges in both shows are highly knowledgeable, respectful, and strict in their evaluations.

Both explore alternative dimensions where the main characters fight to survive. They are directed by the same director and feature fast-paced, action-heavy storytelling.

I think these two series are similar because both series show the relationship between an ordinary but strong person in their work and a celebrity.
And also, in both series there is a subplot of political financial crime connected to the entertainment world that ordinary person tries to uncover. Similarly, in both series, two people already knew each other in some way and then meet again in another way.
Ultimately, even the humor of the series seems similar to me.

Both drama gave me the same energy, especially in season 2 of She loves to cook and she loves to eat, there's thus beautiful found family trope also. both of the drama is cosy, heart-warming queer dramas
