Both dramas are about optimistic girls who had dreams but ended up working in a publishing company doing a seemingly ordinary work. Juhan Shuttai focuses on the editors surrounding the manga artistes.
Both are feel-good workplace dramas featuring a rookie who not only learns the ropes but brings change to their team as they find their way and develop relationships. They also give insight into the business ( as only J-dramas can do!) in a fascinating way, and have memorable characters who have meaningful arcs.
Today’s Webtoon is a Korean remake (2022) of the japanese drama Juhan Shuttai from 2016. Though it conserves the same structure I find delightful to witnesshow differently the two directed constructed their stories. In the Japanese version FL starts with thejob interview and is directed admited. The korean version seems solid but as up to now Viki has released only 2 episodesfrom each of thesetwo dramas, I shall come back fora better comparison.
Both are about a rookie learning the ropes in her new job and sometimes bringing fresh perspective that a more experienced veteran wouldn't have thought of. The main difference is that Juhan Shuttai's Kokoro is naive but not stupid, while Channel wa Sonomama's Hanako lacks common sense, bordering on stupid.
