Chosen Home (2025)

Both are slice-of-life stories, dealing with everyday situations that also involve a bit of a strange turn once in a while.

Umi no Hajimari and Chosen Home also deal with found family - one blood-related, the other formed out of strangers, but still basically found-family.

Both seem to be very warm (Chosen Home has just started, but it does give off that feeling) and healing.

Forced cohabitation leading to close relationships in both dramas. Also, again, found family trope.

A bit of a loneliness trope healed by doing stuff for your fellow man (or woman) in both of them, too.

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.

Both drama gave me the same energy, especially in season 2 of She loves to cook and she loves to eat, there's thus beautiful found family trope also. both of the drama is cosy, heart-warming queer dramas

Mature queer love which we can see beautiful countryside views and how simple life settings can be appreciable also. And both of them have found family trope

Both have pretend-to-be-a-parent trope and so they have to deal with a lot of happenings while hiding that secret. Both are equally precious slice-of-life dramas that talks about parenthood. For Chosen home we got a gay guy pretending to be a father for the homeroom teacher while in Fake Mommy, she was hired to be the mother in the school setting. No one was forced to do so, thus it's not toxic that way, but they have to deal with the consequence of the lie.

Both are about a girl from a broken home, who finds an alternative but more stable family with two gey men.
