YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOT WATCHING THESE TWO!?! You're missing something great...

Both psychology themed and will make you think. Both deal with human darkness and tragedy: Love Shuffle in a way that will make you laugh and think; Memories of Matsuko in a way that will make you cry and think.
Both MUST WATCH. WATCH THEM NOW!

Both involve MULTIPLE RELATIONSHIPS, psychology and comedy-darkness blend.

In KMHM there's 7 characters/7 relationships due to male leads multiple personality disorder; meanwhile in Love Shuffle there's several different relationships due to a group of people deciding to "shuffle"/swap relationship partners with each other multiple times, to test if there exists such a thing as "soulmate"/one person that's better for you.

While both have multiple relationships, both also have a couple of rootable MAIN couples/OTPs with a good romance arc; making shipping easier, while keeping the complexity of the relationship/s and story in tact!

Recommended for fans of psychology, drama-comedy combo, deep and complex characters and story and believable OTP/romance.

Both high quality dramas that deserve a better rating on MDL.

Manhattan Love Story is simply a wackier; more absurd; crazier version of Love Shuffle :XD: (Of course in a good way)

Both are about the love stories and friendships of a group of people who get together and form their own "club" in the process of doing so.

Both have strong friendship bonds between group of people, and romance. Though Last Friends has dramatic tention as well.

Both of these dramas address the unconventional and sometimes awkward romantic interactions between a group of friends.

Both stories are about fully grown adults trying to figure out what they want in themselves and in their relations ships. Both series develop the characters the same and seem to have similar types of characters. Love shuffle has more comedy than slow dance

Both Romcoms on the surface, but really is about mental health/psychology and are DEEP dramas.

If you like one, you must watch the other!
Actually even if neither is familiar...Watch them! Really good dramas!!

Both funny and quirky, but underneath that fun charm is real depth and meaningful
RELATABLE realistic conversations.

Both have multiple couples and friendships.

Both some of the best dramas I've EVER WATCHED, with LoveShuffle being in my Top2 of favorite dramas of all time.

It remind me of this drama with similar story line of group of adults who got friends opposite sex & they all try overcome obstacles & hardship in their friendship. Starring famous Japanese actor & actresses.

- Both have rapid-fire, witty dialogues.
- It's all about the search of ... love, friendship, and everything that comes with it.
- The writers have managed to make the contrived extremely entertaining, complete with unexpected twists.
- Ensemble cast.
- While it's apparent who the lead couple is, the supporting cast is equally great and elevates the drama!

Both are Psychological dramas that make you think about your life and the meaning of everyday life, joy, conversation, love, friendship and the beauty of simple joys and conversations.

I know! The stories in Mars and Love Shuffle doesn't have anything to do with each other but still..
Both dramas gave me the same feeling! They felt similar in some strange way!
So, if you liked the one I think you should definitely at least give a chance to the other! :)
