The stories are quite similar. Precious Hearts Romances are stories of peer group called Bud Brothers while The Jungle is stories about a group of good-looking young men who are called "The Jungle". Some stories between their characters are quite similar, and the similarities are really obvious. You'll see it when you watch it yourself. You'll be amazed!
