Usotoki Rhetoric

Both Leads remind me of the LEads in Usotoki Rhetoric.
Although UR is less focused on romance I feel like if you enjoy the dynamic between these two, you`ll enjoy UR as well!

-Similar FL (shy)
-Similar time period

-Private detective and sweet assistant
-Elements of romance
-Episodic plot/crimes
-Comedic elements
BTAG is more modern and culinary based while UR is a historical drama.

These two shows differ quite a lot in tone and plot, but they both focus on the philosophy and reasoning behind why people lie. They both explore the many reasons why people lie to protect themselves, protect others, to hurt others, to brag, or simply out of fear. They cover the topic with nuance, individual and complex characters, and don't tell you what's right or wrong, but simply talk about it.

In the city of romance, the FL lies to protect herself due to trauma and ends up compulsively lying quite often. She works through her anxiety and grows as an individual whilst dealing with her lying until she begins to feel safe enough to be honest.

In Usotoki Rhetoric, there are mysteries each episode with the lead characters having to unravel the lies of the people involved. The FL is able to hear lies and she learns the reasons why people lie in each episode which helps her to reflect on herself and her ability.

-Private detective and sweet assistant
-Elements of romance
-Episodic plot/crimes
-Comedic elements
-Twist that makes FL uniquely suited to job(memory loss, ability to distinguish lies, respectively)
OKnB is a modern detective story with memory lost twist while UR is a historical drama.

If you like a nice compelling, feel-good detective series, this is for you!
Similarities include:

- "Case of the week"-esque episodes
-really fun to guess along
- cool and non-chalant but quirky ML
Mystery to Iunakare does NOT have any romance so if you look for a detective romance this is not it.

usotoki rhetoric's FL and memorist's ML have powers and help their detective partners to solve mysteries

Just like in DCIM, the detective in Usotoki Rhetoric is very good at finding out the truth about a situation through details. The FL in the drama is a human lie detector and after meeting the detective, starts using her ability to solve cases.

Both drama's are about someone who can misteriously detect lies told bij others. Both lie detectors team up with a detective to solve mysteries.

both dramas are about detective from past period (meiji kaika from early meiji era and usotoki rhetoric from early showa era). every episodes have different cases

Both dramas are mystery/thriller genres with a FL who has the supernatural ability to hear when someone is lying.
