Both Japanese drama's although 14 years apart are about pure-hearted otaku's / geeks who initially are quite isolated and reserved. In both they find friends who inspire courage to them and help them make a connection with the world around. Overall feeling in both drama's is that of love and human compassion: feel good drama.

- Both drama's have high school students with diverse personalities who are starting in performing arts and at the same time are growing in life. 'Do Dream' has just 5 brief episodes though and is far less ambitious or a well-knows series like 'Dream High' is.
