Perfect Propose

パーフェクトプロポーズ ‧ Drama ‧ 2024
Both are Japanese BL dramas based on a manga. In both of them, one of the main characters is very busy with his work and has no personal life but someone who has loved him for a long time starts to make attempts to make his life happier and to get close to him at the same time.

Both BL dramas portray a relationship where the main characters cohabitate and one of them kinda pushes/manipulates the other one to have a romantic/sexual relationship with him by taking care of him and making him feel grateful/guilty and dependant on him. Although it is not fully consensual on both sides from the beginning, it gradualy becomes a regular-ish relationship. Both the dramas are Japanese and quite mature.

Hiro's so stressed out at work that he can barely have proper meals or get some well-earned sleep. When he passes out on the sidewalk after yet another stressful day, an unfamiliar face calls out to him - apparently, they once promised to marry each other? What's Kai Fukaya's deal, and why is he so insistent on assuming the role of Hiro's fiancé?

The work place environment explores similar theme. I also liked how when the leads consider their relationships to others it gives them strength to get out of a toxic place.

Japanese Latin dance champion Suzuki Shinya and Japanese standard dance champion Sugiki Shinya are both famous dancers. Although they are in different fields, their names differ by only one letter. Suzuki, who hates to lose, is irritated by being compared to the other dancer. One day, Sugiki suddenly invites Suzuki to "aim to be champion together in 10 Dances." 10 Dances is a competitive dance where dancers who have mastered both Latin and standard dance compete in a total of 10 dances. Suzuki initially refuses Sugiki's proposal to teach each other and aim for the top because it seems too reckless. However, he is overwhelmed by Sugiki's provocative and competitive attitude and accepts in anger. The two are polar opposites in terms of personality and everything and they clash, but as they take lessons every day, they work hard together and gradually close the gap. Then, Suzuki gradually realizes that he is starting to be attracted to Sugiki.

Also has a live-in/personal cook type of story. Good fit between the leads, too.

PP has a professional (IT) ML, SDL has another professional (police officer) ML.

The series have a completely different setting, lenghth and budget and come from different countries but both of them have a good overall quality, attractive actors and an interesting plot.

SPOILERS AHEAD (especially regarding Lovely Writer)

In both series, the main characters knew each other in childhood (when the younger boy already developed a crush on the older one) and when they are adult, the younger one appears in the life of the older one again, with the intention of making him fall for him and having a relationship with him. Paradoxically, the younger one became bigger and more confident/dominant in the adulthood, so the roles kinda reverse and the older one can no longer look down on him.

-the stresses of work and adult life.
-a person that loves to cook and whose love language is taking care of others through food.
-characters knew each other as students.
-the difference is the other is a BL/while the other seems to be a group of friends.
