10 Things I Want to Do before I Turn 40

40までにしたい10のこと ‧ Drama ‧ 2025
It is not a bl, but I immediately thought of it when i saw Tojo's home filled with cute stuff and plushies. That is the whole premise of "Ojisan wa Kawaii Mono ga Osuki", and they are both about them being embarrassed of other people knowing their hobby/likes(also of course struggling with the fact that their age may not match their likes). They also both connect with some people who are similar to themselves^^

10 Things is a lot more romantic-driven than Chosen Home, but still, it's about an older gay man who is too lonely for his own good until he finds love.

I've no idea if Chosen Home will go there (and if it does, it definitely won't get there by a too-romantic way), but it's interesting to see older people's romances, as slow and mellow as they might be.

Shiba Ryoma, a brilliant lawyer and youngest co-partner at a major law firm, meets the genius con artist Haruto at a bar. Intrigued by Haruto's talent for impersonation, Shiba invites him to become his secret partner. As they work together to solve various problems, Shiba, new to romance, becomes enchanted by Haruto's sweet devotion. Despite their contrasting personalities, the two grow closer, with Haruto falling for Shiba's sensitivity and Shiba struggling with his own feelings. Eventually, they face a dangerous confrontation with great evil.

Both JBLs have a large age gap as it's prominent feature. They have a work and personal relationship.

Both JBLs have a large age gap, feature two leads overcoming their loneliness, and the tone is cutesy/adorable.

office romance
in both drama both the title and the plot showcase an important focal age point for the main character.

Age-gap romance. Sunbae/hoobae relationship. Sharing mundane parts of life together. Slow-burn romance of two co-workers slowly falling in love with each other after going on dates etc.
