Three guys sooning over for a cute boy. It's similar in the love triangle factor but not necessarily a harem like this drama. The third love interest gets introduced later in Jun & Jun unlike this show. I recommend this if you liked watching Secret Relationships and Peach Trap.

Both darker themed detective jdramas.
Male leads hold a secret while investigating.
Both have a supporting female character who takes an interest in male lead.

Both are very intense and thriller. With very good story...........................................................................................................................................................................

Both tackle the theme of fighting entrenched injustice by bending or breaking the rules of the system.
Both dramas center on protagonists who operate in the legal sphere, blur the line between right and wrong, and highlight how persistence and unconventional tactics can shake institutions that appear untouchable.

- both female leads are cats... like legit
- just on in historical and another one in modern setting

they are not really similar as the blood of youth focus more on journey

but they are similar in
- strong and smart characters (from male to female characters)
- #strongsquadvibes like found family!

School setting. Low fantasy. Hidden identity. Cute romance. And distinct cinematography that gives this wistful, bubby atmosphere.

In both shows, the daughter is getting revenge on her biological mother for abandoning her. The FL is grey/an anti-heroine in both dramas, but the FL in A Graceful Liar is far more villainous.

both dramas feature a female lead with exceptional skills in their sport of interest, a thrilling adventure of their rise to the top despite multiple hurdles and having nothing to their names

They’re kinda similar, the humor is chaotic in the best way, super fun and the friendship between the main characters is so good, Enemies to Friends

-Daisy Li and Ye Shengja star in both dramas
-Leads work together to change the destiny of the world
-Has romance
-FL has to overcome an obstacle to become stronger

Both plots revolve around supernatural abilities.
Both star Kamiki Ryunosuke & Arimura Kasumi (minor roles in SPEC, leading roles in FE).

Both explore the gray zones of justice by focusing on characters who challenge the system from within.

In Anti-Hero, a lawyer defies Japan’s 99.9% conviction rate by securing acquittals even for seemingly guilty clients, raising questions about what justice truly means. Meanwhile, Okura follows detectives relegated to a “graveyard” department tasked with cold cases, where outcasts use unconventional methods to uncover hidden truths.

Both dramas highlight outsiders working against rigid institutions

another recommendation

Both Nietzsche-sensei and Teasing Master Takagi-san thrive on the same comedic rhythm: a simple everyday setting where humor comes from the clash between a straight?laced character and a mischievous counterpart.

In Takagi-san, it’s the endless teasing of Nishikata in a school classroom, while in Nietzsche-sensei it’s the deadpan, philosophical clerk dropping absurd “Nietzsche quotes” on his co?workers and customers in a convenience store.

Structurally, both shows rely on short skit?like episodes, repetitive gags, and the tension between earnest reactions and playful provocation — making them cousins in the comedy of ordinary life turned delightfully off?balance.

someone asking for recommendations so here it goes:

Both are classroom comedy skit series built on a simple formula: one character drives the gag, the other reacts. Takagi-san leans on romantic teasing, while Seki-kun/Rumi-chan leans on absurd mischief and reactions, but structurally they’re cousins in how they deliver laughs.
