Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!

Okay they left out the actual romance part in Guardian buuuut the love interest in this drama so far reminds me so much of Shen Wei that I need to recommend Guardian

Both stories are cute, light-hearted and heart-warming, include a secret crush and, for the most part, take place in an office where the main characters work together.

Both BL dramas are cute, light-hearted and heart-warming, include a secret crush and, for the most part, take place in an office where the main characters work together.

Both have the sweetest stories ever
Both have great acting by the leads
Both r well cast and have great OST

I'm not fully sure why, but I kept getting reminded of cherry magic the whole time I was watching this. I don't know how to describe it but they have very similar vibes.
- two main leads work together
- in an office setting
- a main plot besides plain romance
- acknowledgeable character development
- an overall fluffy feeling
- Both couples basically keep their romance a secret from work (at least marriage honey for beginning episodes)

Yang, what they call a corporate slave who was transferred to the Japanese branch of his company, one day witnesses the Yakuza Yuma fighting a gang in the downtown area and is fascinated by his strength. After a chance reunion with Yuma, Yang is gradually drawn to him, despite his awkwardness. Yuma also begins to open up to Yang and the two of them gradually connect to one another through their shared loneliness.

Both of them are Office Cute Romance. Also, the episode's durance is similar and they both got 12 episodes. In Cherry Magic there are two main couples. In both series one of the main characters isn't sure about their sexual orientation and develop feeling through the series. The other main character is in love with the first a long time ago.

Both are bls in which the popular, friendly ML chases/has feelings for the quieter, insecure ML. In Cherry Magic the MLs work together whilst in HIStory the MLs go to the same school. Both are fun, lighthearted romances (if you stop HIStory before the last couple episodes lol).

What I love about both of these series is that the boss/supervisors are very tall, handsome, debonair, and sweet. I really like when the boss/supervisor starts off strict and all into the work but underneath, their hearts are mesmerized by the worker they have warm feelings for. I love seeing how relationship develops in the workplace.

When Kosuke was 14 years old, his mother died. As a young gay person, he spent his adolescence in a rural village and suppressed his feelings. Now, Kosuke is all grown up and he works as a fashion magazine editor in Tokyo. He meets Ryuta, who works as a personal trainer. Ryuta's mother raised him alone and he is close to his mother. Kosuke and Ryuta become attracted to each other and they sometimes spend time with Ryuta's mother. Kosuke is happy to share time with Ryuta and his mother, which makes him remember his late mother. Kosuke and Ryuta make an appointment to go for a drive together, but, on that day, Ryuta does not show up.

Similarities:
1. both are rom-coms
2. character with secret crush
3. character with self-esteem issues
4. kind of silly (in a positive way!)
5. display of a healthy relationship

Plot:
When Adachi Kiyoshi turns 30, he gains supernatural powers that enabel him to read other people`s minds. Through these telepathic powers, Adachi one day learns that his coworker Kurosawa Yuichi has a secret crush on him. How will Adachi deal with this new revelation?

One of my all-time favorites, 10/10 would recommend.

While still a virgin at 30, Adachi Kiyoshi gains a magical power – the ability to read other people's minds by touching them. At first, he’s overwhelmed by his new ability, and it’s not proving to be helpful to him. But that all changes when he accidentally touches Kurosawa Yuichi, whom he learns has romantic feelings for him.

Traversing the cities of Berlin, Seoul, and Tokyo, a 10-year-long love story between two young men is told. It all starts when Ryu Narutaki, who left everything behind in Japan, is saved by a boxer named Johan Hwang in a foreign land.

The work environment is similar. They have to work together. One is liked by everyone. very funny.
-All characters are loveable
-Has comedy but can also get emotional
-No toxicity
-Great acting from main leads
-Great opening and ending song
-High re-watch value

Shirasaki Yuki, a rookie actor, finally lands an audition and is chosen to star in a BL drama alongside current superstar Hayama Asami, who was also his senior at university. Feeling anxious and troubled before his first major role, Shirasaki is approached by Hayama with the proposal to form a “romantic relationship for the sake of character development” until the filming concludes. Their pseudo-romantic involvement off-screen leads to a moving and beautifully crafted love story exploring the intricacies of relationships within the entertainment industry and among actors.
