At first, he’s overwhelmed by his new ability, and it’s not proving to be helpful to him.

These two Jdramas that consist of different storylines and target audiences surprisingly share common themes, character traits, and much more.

*Note: I'll refer 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii as its short title in english, "Cherry Magic."

Similarities for both Jdramas:

-They are wholesome Jdramas depicting healthy relationships for both romantic relationships and friendships. There is amazing chemistry and relationship development in both Jdramas. All of the main leads are both considerate and supportive to their partner, friends, acquaintances, housemates and/or co-workers.

-They are both romantic comedy Jdramas that display plenty of fluffy moments for the couples.

-The main leads (Mashiba Kurumi from Kikazaru Koi and Adachi Kiyoshi from Cherry Magic) are straightforward.

-Each character possess interesting/unique personalities that shows their charming side.

-Both feature cute pets as characters too!

-Each Jdrama consists of characters that go through great character development.

-Both Jdramas teach valuable life lessons.

-Radiate good vibes for the majority of the season.

-Both include characters that had a crush on someone for 7 years.

-Cohabitation occurs in both Jdramas, except it only happens briefly in Cherry Magic.

-Consists of skillful acting from all actors and actresses!

Few differences:
-In Cherry Magic, they place less emphasis on the characters' work-life, while concentrating more on their personal lives. Whereas Kikazaru Koi focuses on the characters' work-life and personal life simultaneously.

-Cherry Magic includes supernatural elements because the main male lead, Adachi Kiyoshi gains the power to read people's minds.

-Kikazaru Koi express straight couples, while Cherry Magic shows same-sex couples.

Both revolve around an office romance and have lots of comedy in them. However, Cherry Magic focusses more on the development of a serious relationship while Same Difference just focusses on outlandish humour. Both are very entertaining.

Both have a ML who's liked the other for a longer period of time. Both have that inner dialogue and show scenes of how the other has come to fall for each other. Overall they give off similar vibes.

Both are BL adapted from manga. The main lead in both is played by Machida Keita (Kurosawa in Cherry Magic).

‘Cherry Magic’ and ‘Fish Upon the Sky’ are fluffy dramas with a male lead who lacks confidence and a second male lead who has been secretly crushing on the former for quite some time before actively pursuing their love interest.

The film will continue the story from the drama of the same name.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

A man killed himself. Due to his death, three of his former classmates from art school, reunite for the first time in a long while. These three people have connections to the man in different ways, including his ex-girlfriend, the manager of a rugby club where the man played, and his ex-boyfriend. While struggling with their own lives, these three people begin to meet and have meals together.

She finds pleasure in cooking and serving her food to other people. When she is alone, she often eats food from the convenience store. Nakamura Seiko works in the PR department for a cosmetics company. Being influence by her family, she has grown up with the idea that marriage is mandatory and not optional. She now has a strong desire to marry, but her fiancé, who works in the same department, suddenly breaks off their engagement.

Amagai Eiji worked as a designer for an advertising agency, but he was suddenly transferred to the sales department. He doesn’t know what he wants to do anymore. He is a gay man, but he hasn't revealed his sexual orientation to his parents.
