These both have this airy feel to them. The drectors have a poetic use of space and silence that I appreciate. While Double is not a romance, it does also have a warped sense of love and relationships.

They have a similar premise. Both are about military deserters, and they even have similar reasons for deserting.

Ichi the Killer is a much more intense and doesn't come with the comforting "good guys" redeeming element that Ikebukuru West Gate Park does. However they're both very eccentric stories that feature gang violence and revolve around trying to understand who and why someone was murdered with plot twists related to mental health. They also both feature manipulative antagonists and homoerotic tension. Be warned: Ichi the Killer is fucked up.

These have different polyamorous styles. Bad Girlfriend is more like kitchen table polyamory while My Fuxxxxxx Romance is parallel polyamory. However, they both have FLs that are proactive daters and want to be honest with themselves about the way they experience attraction.

They both have a conditional V dynamic in which the FL is allowed to date both MLs, but she has to choose between one of them after a set period of time. They also both involve workplace romance and bromance.

It's interesting seeing the differences between Wooga Squad and BTS. The concept of In the Soop is the same, relaxing somewhere in the countryside with a group of friends, but its expressed differently. The original In the Soop has a larger cast with different personalities. Because of this, they often switch things up and try new things. If you're looking for something to watch that is peaceful and expresses the charm of friendship, then you should definitely watch more of In the Soop!

If you like bizarre twists and themes about hidden identity, then this is for you. Other than that not much else is the same.

Both stories involve a queer romance between a human and magical cat who can turn into the shape of a human!

If you liked the Peking Opera in Farewell My Concubine, there is a minor story arch in Story of Yanxi Palace that covers it. They mention a few of the opera pieces by name (including Farewell My Concubine), play out some of the scenes, and even explain a few of the stories briefly. Peking Opera is later banned from the palace though, so it only shows up in the first 1/3 of the show.

Both dramas center around a group of housemates who are friends. If you like that supportive environment in friend groups, then you might have fun with both dramas. Each also explore subplots of dating scenarios and housemate struggles. Even the homes they live in are kind of similar from the outside.

Differences: In Age of Youth, they don't all start out as friends. While Age of Youth has its fun and fluffy moments, it's also a drama with a serious side, unlike Crash.

Hey YOU! Yes YOU! Are you seeking unconventional transgender (mtf) representation? Look no futher than these two shows! Both deal with family struggles and transphobia. Are they the best representation? Ehh that's hard to find these days. However, if you're looking for interesting stories that also include trans people, these are some dramas that are both! Imai no Kuni no Alice's character is not a lead though.

*SPOILERS*
Both follow the leads from high school to adulthood. They struggle with issues in their relationship, seperate, and then come back together. I will say, that if you watch 1 in 10,000, you should watch all three acts. The first and second act aren't very good, but I cried by the third act. Both are also queer shows, though 1 in 10,000 is intentionaly a romance that happens to be gay (between two women), and not a gay romance.
