Perfect Propose (2024)

Both are Japanese BL dramas based on a manga. In both of them, one of the main characters is very busy with his work and has no personal life but someone who has loved him for a long time starts to make attempts to make his life happier and to get close to him at the same time.

Hiro's so stressed out at work that he can barely have proper meals or get some well-earned sleep. When he passes out on the sidewalk after yet another stressful day, an unfamiliar face calls out to him - apparently, they once promised to marry each other? What's Kai Fukaya's deal, and why is he so insistent on assuming the role of Hiro's fiancé?

For starters both r Japanese BLs.Both have this one guy who is very sure of his feelings and this straight guy who is very flustered at first .both have that office background.even the actors look similar.

Also has a live-in/personal cook type of story. Good fit between the leads, too.

PP has a professional (IT) ML, SDL has another professional (police officer) ML.

The series have a completely different setting, lenghth and budget and come from different countries but both of them have a good overall quality, attractive actors and an interesting plot.

SPOILERS AHEAD (especially regarding Lovely Writer)

In both series, the main characters knew each other in childhood (when the younger boy already developed a crush on the older one) and when they are adult, the younger one appears in the life of the older one again, with the intention of making him fall for him and having a relationship with him. Paradoxically, the younger one became bigger and more confident/dominant in the adulthood, so the roles kinda reverse and the older one can no longer look down on him.

A mysterious man, appears out of nowhere when a salary man is completely lost and helps him find the meaning in his life, happiness and love.

PP is a BL short drama while K is a woman-man love drama.
Yet, both has something to do with insomia, sleeping together, romance and mature scenes. Honestly, even the characters of the main leads is similar. anyway, if you like one of those dramas and you are open minded to genderless love between man to man or man to woman, you will find tha the dramas have the same vibes.

Both dramas portray the Tsundere vibe, stand offish but also shows affection to their lover. They also both have aspects of school and work.

As far as I've watched and read in the comments, its very similair to the "love is like a poison" since they also live together spontaniously like this and it just overall seem like a funnier version of "perfect propose"
