Similar plotline of actors in a romance becoming romantically involved with each other in reality. Method is a darker take on the concept though.

Narasaki always wished he had a quiet space to study in, so it should be a blessing in disguise that he gets to help at the library reception desk. However, he was suddenly selected to supervise Terashima, a student with bad behavior who is famous on campus. At first, the two did not talk, but in the library, where only the sound of turning pages resonates, Narasaki gradually begins to take an interest in Terashima, who has a mysterious personality.

It´s spicy. 
Kind of the same vibe, like a cold top and a cute bottom.
Taikan Yoho is a story where the characters know each other longer, but they don´t know each other at the same time, if you know what I mean. their only connection? living together and having sex.

If you like to see just actors falling in love on set, you won't get that (jk)
Double is not a BL, it goes further than that, is about how the codependency takara feels for yujin after he "saves him" from the lowest he's been and gives him a new purpose, and about how yujin's quiet resentment fights whatever he might feel for takara, because despite loving him, he accidentally shaped him into a better actor he could ever be. It's a show that will make you feel A LOT, so if you have time, why not giving it a try?

Both series are sweet bl's about the struggles in showbizz. But in 25 Ji, Akasake de both main characters are actors and in city of stars only one of them is an actor. The biggest similar thing is that they are both BIG GREEN flags. <3
