Restart after Come back Home (2020)

both are set in the country side, that’s about all there is to being similar but i know people are like me and like to enjoy anything slightly related to a film they loved! lol

This work stars Akafuji Yuichiro, a popular and handsome actor, and Aoyagi Hajime, a former popular child actor who has the ability but is currently unremarkable. The story begins when they are chosen to play the double lead roles in the live-action adaptation of an extremely popular BL manga.

They start living together in order to prepare for the role and get publicity, but Akafuji has a curt attitude toward Aoyagi, and Aoyagi doesn't like Akafuji either.

However, there was a reason for his curt attitude. In reality, Akafuji was deeply in love with Aoyagi.

Akafuji tries his best to hide his feelings, and Aoyagi tries to get along with the other but mistakenly thinks that he hates him. The misunderstanding between the two leads to an unexpected slapstick comedy in this "Cohabitation Romantic Comedy".

They both have son and father relationships

Someone important to one of the male main leads passing away

The whole vibe all together reminds me of one another

The mains question their sexuality but feel they need to be closeted because they are scared.

- City boy returns to countryside hometown
- Uptight City boy + Relaxed country boy
- City boy tries to fit in in the new environment
- Love interest is loved in local town and has bonded with a village elder
- Similar overall vibe (Farming vs Cooking)

Both are slow burn with strong and emotional stories about the characters, with a good atmosphere that catch your eyes and attention.

Both are similar in that the main character moves to a new place and meets a guy there who they end up growing closer to, through spent time together, and then falling for. Also, both cover deeper topics as well along the way.
