Osozaki no Himawari (2012)

Both of them about the young people who are looking for their way in life.Sunao ni Narenakute is a little darker and confusing but both of them give a hope about life in the end.

They both contained this theme of ikigai and reboot. In the attempt to find a new start both of the main characters decided to move to a more rural place and starts to learn more about themselves.

The lead characters go through some soul searching after being assigned at a new job to help people within the community. These two dramas have heartfelt story-lines.

Same writer; male leads starting as a big loser and have character developments to be a better and stronger person.

Main couples in these two drama start their love and chemistry in the same way: bickering with each other :XD:

Well, honestly I like Osozaki better :)

It gave me the same feel but on a different age level. Osozaki is more on a midlife resolution while Orange Days is on a college level life choices and experiences.

Both drama are about a person who decided to leave the busy city life and reside in a small town and they try to find themselves again.

A group of young adults in their 20s, all with their pasts and previous relationships, broken hearts, try to live the present, moving on with their lives. Character A loves B, B loves C, C loves D and D loves A. In Osozaki no Himawari the MC travels to a distant village for a new job, and in Summer Nude one of the MCs does the same, moving to the beach for a temporary summer job. They all find friendship, love and a future.

Main character worried about his self and trying to figure out what he really wanna do by coming to the countryside

A big city guy goes live in the countryside and suppost to help the villagers, the same goes with Going Rural, Osozaki is more dramatic and is an youth drama though!
