Kao ni Doro wo Nuru

Both dramas share the same theme.
ML in both dramas loves makeup.
Both dramas ended with the leads being together.

I just thought that both were dramas that were "breaking" society norms (especially Chizu in Ossan's love)

- Feminine MLs that crossdress on occasion
- Insecure and softspoken FL (more realistic in KnDwN than in Kuragehime)
- Confident and carefree ML
- ML bringing FL out of her shell
- Themes of finding oneself and being true to oneself
- Instant friendship between ML and FL
- Love triangle situation (two men vying for FL)
- Both are adapted from Josei mangas

Main difference is that KnDwN is more focused on romance rather than friendship and it's lacking in the sismance present in Kuragehime.

The shows both talk about men who are not afraid to step out of societal norms. Fashion is something that everyone can make their own and shouldn't be confined by gender roles.

in term of tone it is quite different as ka ni doro wo nuru has a bit of a darker undertone with the ex while Colorful love is a lot more goofy, but when I started this show it immediately reminded me of colorful love.
