Same drama, different fonts! Our Dating Sim is a tad more cutesy/lighthearted. Business as Usual is a bit more serious. Both are funny and sweet with great visuals.
Aside from the fact that the ML in My Stubborn is also named Jun (lol), there are other similarities. Both are office romances where the main couple reunites after some time spent apart AND there is some sort of power dynamic in the office (boss/supervisor vs subordinate/intern).
If you like an ML that is DOWN BAD for his partner, you will like both dramas.

Top Form is a more serious version of 25:00 in Akasaka. Both are really great and feature a budding actor in the industry and a veteran actor falling in love and facing obstacles in the process. I've rewatched both—they're so good!
Both similarly are set behind-the-scenes of the the movie industry, where love blooms and drama occurs!
DeanPharm is the serious version of JohanNorth (because, obviously, North and "serious" can never be used in the same sentence)
Both offer a rom-com look at the BL television production industry. The characters have a similar energy in the vibe they give off. The couple chemistry in both is quite light and refreshing too.
This is a crazy comparison (I KNOW) but I can't help but find Ai Di and Isumi to be soooo similar. They're both sassy, short, blonde and hopelessly in love. If you like this character archetype and you've watched one, you'll enjoy the other. Aside from that, there's really no similarity between these two dramas (lol).
Watch either of these two when you're emotionally prepped to take a break from the light, cute, fluffy and low stakes dramas. Both are heavy, mature and deep with poignant themes that'll have you deep in thought all night long.
Similarities
- ADORABLE pairing
- the relationship starts off pretty quickly in the first episode, then we follow along as they fall more in love
- "awkward" lead and "cool" lead make the perfect power couple
- side characters are supportive of the relationship
Differences
- workplace romance versus school romance
- one couple tries to keep the relationship a secret while the other is more open (or at least doesn't deny it when confronted)

Both dramas are light and refreshing but have a more serious undertone that deals with crime.
Both FL’s end up in a small rural town after leaving their lives in the big city. Then they meet the ML’s who have intriguing backstories.
Both ML’s are kind and unconditionally caring to the FL’s.
Shin Eun Soo is in both dramas and does a great job at being the sassy teenaged side character.

These dramas are so similar in concept, cuteness, comedy, and just overall freshness. One reminds me of the other and vice versa.
There really isn't anything too dramatic in either. There's nothing to truly stress you out. Both give off a feel-good vibe and make you laugh.
Without spoiling, the premise of how both relationships in these two dramas start are pretty similar. It's definitely not cliché or overused though! I love the concept and the execution is different, so it's still refreshing and enjoyable.
I would rewatch BOTH dramas (I have rewatched Cherry Magic already LOL). If you liked one, you are sure to like the other.

WBL seasons 1 and 2 are probably my favorite BL's of all time... but then I watched ITSAY and IPYTM last night and now I'm a wreck.
Both are amazing, sweet, and heart-wrenching. I think what makes them similar is how real the emotions that the actors convey feels. I'd probably say IPYTM is more realistic, but the feelings in both are raw and heart stopping. The actors in one particular scene of WBL (yall who saw it know exactly what scene I'm referencing) made me feel like I was in the movie with them.
What both dramas do a great job of focusing on is the power of the eyes and how so many words can be said by just looking at someone. It HURTS but it also makes my heart smile. Sorry if none of this made sense. byeeeee :) <3
