Sunao ni Narenakute (2010)

Gives similar feelings. Friendship, love, gay, tragedy, dinamic, chemistry, unique plot. And just wow. Also there are Eita and Ueno Juri too.

Similar ensemble cast, both dramas have a similar feeling to them at times. Both highly recommended.

Both have strong friendship bonds between group of people, and and romance as well.

it's the same kind of story, about a group of friends trying to overcome hardships together ; and Eita is in both dramas ;)

They come from the same screen writer and have the same delicate, heartwarming way of describing friendship.

Mashiba Kurumi works as a publicist for "el Arco Iris," an interior design company becoming popular with young people on social media. She's a fashionista who cares a lot about her appearance and what others think. She works hard to gain the admiration of her coworkers and boss, Hayama Shogo. Kurumi is so busy with work she forgets to renew her apartment lease, so her friend Koko helps her find a new place, but it's a share house with three strangers -- Fujino Shun, a minimalist chef who only wants to live a simple life. Then there's Terai Haruto, Shun's cousin who works as an online counselor to help people with their problems. Finally, there's Hase Ayaka, an aspiring artist who makes contemporary art while working part-time as a delivery driver at a high-end supermarket. And so, these people of different ages, occupations, and values come together under one roof. Though their personalities clash, Kurumi falls in love, deepens her friendships, and learns to take off her "armor" and live as herself.

Both comment on the subject of sincerity and hypocrisy in the era of social network, especially Twitter.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead try to solve problem In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

Strong friendship bonds between people of different kinds, friends supporting each other, developing romance. The friendship you want for yourself.

they have similar storylines. They start off with a death, in this case, it was the death of a couple, but in Sunao it is the death of an individual. Both dramas are about trying to find the reason behind the death. There are a group of friends involved in both cases. And the bonds that form and grow are so deep! The cast is amazing in both shows and each secret unfolds in an interesting way. Both shows will keep you hooked for the entire duration.
