While still a virgin at 30, Adachi Kiyoshi gains a magical power – the ability to read other people's minds by touching them. At first, he’s overwhelmed by his new ability, and it’s not proving to be helpful to him. But that all changes when he accidentally touches Kurosawa Yuichi, whom he learns has romantic feelings for him.
These two Jdramas that consist of different storylines and target audiences surprisingly share common themes, character traits, and much more.
*Note: I'll refer 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii as its short title in english, "Cherry Magic."
Similarities for both Jdramas:
-They are wholesome Jdramas depicting healthy relationships for both romantic relationships and friendships. There is amazing chemistry and relationship development in both Jdramas. All of the main leads are both considerate and supportive to their partner, friends, acquaintances, housemates and/or co-workers.
-They are both romantic comedy Jdramas that display plenty of fluffy moments for the couples.
-The main leads (Mashiba Kurumi from Kikazaru Koi and Adachi Kiyoshi from Cherry Magic) are straightforward.
-Each character possess interesting/unique personalities that shows their charming side.
-Both feature cute pets as characters too!
-Each Jdrama consists of characters that go through great character development.
-Both Jdramas teach valuable life lessons.
-Radiate good vibes for the majority of the season.
-Both include characters that had a crush on someone for 7 years.
-Cohabitation occurs in both Jdramas, except it only happens briefly in Cherry Magic.
-Consists of skillful acting from all actors and actresses!
Few differences:
-In Cherry Magic, they place less emphasis on the characters' work-life, while concentrating more on their personal lives. Whereas Kikazaru Koi focuses on the characters' work-life and personal life simultaneously.
-Cherry Magic includes supernatural elements because the main male lead, Adachi Kiyoshi gains the power to read people's minds.
-Kikazaru Koi express straight couples, while Cherry Magic shows same-sex couples.
