These two dramas take place in our era, but the subtlety lies in the specific characteristics of our main characters. One is an alien and the other has psychic powers. Their powers will enliven the daily lives of the other protagonists. With kindness, a touch of strangeness and an impact on our perceptions of society. Sci-fi in the everyday lives of these characters. There is comedy and twists in each episode that make you want to watch them back-to-back.
Basically the same drama with different type of humor. Go for Hot Spot if you have minimal to 0 knowledge of Japanese pop culture. While Brush Up Life's humor will be much better if you have enough understanding of Japanese pop culture (Mainly dorama and music) but still watchable if you don't have enough knowledge.
