Quantcast

Countdown to Yes

親友の『同棲して』に『うん』て言うまで ‧ Drama ‧ 2026
It's similar, because they are both about enduring feelings of one having a crush on a friend or classmate. Even though School Trip is based in a school setting, while Countdown also started at school (because that's where everything begun) and later to common places known to everyone. They are both about pursuing your crush, until you win them over, through glances, gestures and persistence.

Both bl and best friends with one loving the other

I cannot reach you is set in high school and has a similar plot to countdown to yes so far.

Both are Japanese BLs about best friends, one of whom is secretly in love with the other. Both dramas have a similar vibe.

Both are related photography and (SPOILER ALERT!!!) in both series the main leads spend some time apart

Minato Yokoi and Wataru Nakano became best friends in high school after a shared love of photography, and even lived together during university. When Minato moved to Hokkaido for work, Wataru returned to their empty apartment and finally realized he was in love. Scared of those feelings, he stopped contacting Minato entirely. Three years later, while Wataru is working at a local photo studio, Minato suddenly messages him to say he’s being transferred back home.

Wataru is thrilled but tries to convince himself to stay “just friends.” That resolve collapses the moment they reunite, and all his feelings come back at full force. Then, Minato casually drops a bomb: “Let’s live together.”

Wataru can’t hide how happy it makes him, but he still refuses, clinging to the safety of friendship over a relationship that might someday end. Minato doesn’t give up, though. With straightforward words and actions, he pushes closer, determined not to let Wataru run away from love again.
