In Perfume, the main male lead is a narcissist who is brilliant at his craft as a designer and develops feelings for the lead female as she works her way into his line of business as a model. She also becomes his cook and housemaid in the process. This is literally a magical drama.

In both dramas the male leads are rich and successful, but socially awkward guys, who suffer from phobias/allergies, that are a result of childhood traumas.

The female leads are not the ones, who they pretend to be, but they're the only ones, who gain trust of the socially awkward MLs and who can heal them from their traumas.

The relationship between the leads develops from hate to love.

Many funny and heartwarming scenes in both.

MLs = bossy, neurotic, allergy-ridden artists who are difficult to please and find it nearly impossible to trust others. Both have tragic family backstories that involve abandonment

2MLs = incredibly adorable and good-hearted, connected with ML but have history of not getting along

FLs = thrust into a high-art context they are not used to and stumble through to navigate that world and make it their own

differences = fantasy element in Perfume, Kpop/music in Full House Take II
