Lunch no Akko-chan

While the dramas have different settings/themes, they both feature a strict and mysterious woman that guides people to solve their problems.

both are about food and how they affect people. they both tell the story of supporting roles (except that shinya shokudo primarily focuses on it) and how they are helped to resolute their problems by the main casts.
they are also both not plot driven and are warm with a great cast of actors.

same actress being her cute self in each drama although 37.5 is about her as a child care worker

about a woman trying to inspire people with her food...tailoring the food to suit their needs same kind of aspect

both are about women who are trying to make it in the food business although Mondai is more melodramatic
