Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte is one of the best romance Jdrama of 2021.
The opening of episode 1 of Koi Nante reminded me so much of Kikazaru.
The FL are both into fashion and the ML are chefs :D

aesthetic wise, might be in par with one another. would update this after finishing the series ;)

She has no boyfriend and keeps having night outs at drinking spots with her girlfriends Kaori and Koyuki. “If I become beautiful, a better guy will appear!” “If we grow to like each other, we can get married!” They will not stop talking about these hypothetical questions. Then a younger, handsome, golden-haired guy suddenly utters, “These “what if” women!” and the trio have to face the harsh reality that they are no longer girls. Rinko enters her 30s while still immature, seeking happiness and struggling with romance and work.

Both are about a group of friends who have different love stories. The plot also includes their professional adventures, but this is not an overwhelming part of these dramas. In both, the characters make important life decisions. Both dramas have a rather positive overtone, they are not depressing.
"Koi Nante, Honki de Yatte Do Suru no?" it's about some older characters than those in "Manatsu no Cinderella".
