Both Meguru and Kuranosuke love fashion and wearing clothes categorised as "for women". Also both are wholesome stories with unforgettable characters that will make you want it to never end!
Check the movie version too (main actor: Suda Masaki) if you like the drama.

Both drama have:
Relationships that blossom from random meetings, fashion, the theme of stepping out of your bubble and comfort zone and finding fun in places you didnt expect.

Kurashita Tsukimi’s dream is to become an illustrator one day. She and her peers, whom all are hikikomoris, feel that society is something they just aren’t on par with, so they spend all of their time together in their apartment pursuing their interests and helping a mysterious tenant with the artwork for a manga.
Because of the time she spent with her mother at the aquarium growing up, Tsukimi has a deep love of jellyfish and hopes to one day wear a dress reminiscent of this beautiful creature. Tsukimi's mother promises her when she is little that she will make a wedding dress for her which looks just like a jellyfish, but then her mother suddenly passes away, and Tsukimi slowly recedes into herself, too afraid of the outside world to venture out into it.
One day, however, her life suddenly changes as she finds herself caught up in a love triangle between Koibuchi Kuronosuke and his brother, Koibuchi Shu. Through the help of Kuronosuke, she realizes she still has a chance at falling in love as well as leading a fulfilling life and gradually allows herself to come out of her shell.

This has a bit more adult theme and its Japanese but I do find few similarities based on vibes. It's about learning more about yourself.
The main female character is very shy and introverted but slowly learns to stand up for herself due to the support of the male lead and her friends.
They are both very fiction-ly. As in they both have a very unrealistic way of reactions similar to that of webtoons and mangas with animations and vfx with over-exaggerated reactions to situations. And the unrealistic club spirit fingers similar to the group of very unique women in princess jellyfish. One is about drawing and the other is about fashion.

The stories themselves are not particularly similar, but the overall vibe and feel of both dramas is. Both stories involve absurdist humor/outlandish situations and a heavy focus on fashion. Kuragehime is definitely more heartfelt while Wanko is pure comedy, but both are uproarious fun.
