Same crazy/cute atmosphere with a bit of gay panic, same self awareness and humour and a 80's vibe for the catchy opening song. I'm sure some of the team worked on both dramas or they are copycats, and I mean it as a compliment.

They both have that quirky exaggerated vibe as does World of BL so if you're into that sort of JBL then you will like this

'Kabe Koji' differs slightly as the lead is not in the same profession as his crush (idol & doujin artist), unlike 'BL Drama' where both leads are actors. However, there are many similarities between the lead's admiration/obsession with their respective crushes, including being secret fans of their famous crush, having a collection of their merch/shrine and a connection to said crush in their past.

They have a similar bubbly extrovert vs cold introvert dynamic, sprinkled with an inability to communicate well.

They also both have a similar style of Japanese comedy, which is silly but not too over-the-top. If you like one, I'm sure you will enjoy the other.

"Doujin Artist Nekoyashiki-Kun's Desire for Recognition Grows" is similar to "Oh! My Assistant" where Issae Kazama, a Jpop idol, is not only high school classmate but he is also a fan of Mamoru Nekoyashiki's drawings. It's just like Mu Yeong is Seon's fan.
