Gay man in an interracial relationship marries a girl to appease his parents who dont know about his sexuality. Those then come for a sudden visit and stay longer than planned. They are very different in tone though.

Both of them explore thematic questions using their protagonists as live case studies. Nuanced, beautifully shot.

Both these shows have a similar premise -both dramas involve two friends-detectives investigating cases.

Both are about eccentric teachers who help bring hope to children who have lost all hope. Akahan no Sensei is more realistic in it's approach, where though the teacher excited, he lives in a very real world. so nothing is sugar coated.

If you're curious as to why I gave the same reason for all the 4 Gokusen's it's because story wise they are the same.

-Both consists deities from another realm.
-In both, deities come to the female lead and falls in love with them.

Has the same small town vibes and the cinematography is gorgeous in both. The colour palette is also very similar, focusing on those rich browns. The story is also similar in that it pulls at your heartstrings at every fitting moment.

While watching both these romances simultaneously I get the same "feel" from both of them.
The FLs are both smart, hard-working and assistants tot he ML
The MLs are both aloof and have the same type of appearance (physically)
There is also a more direct approach from the FL in both dramas to their feelings.
