Two very warm dramas that focus on food and cooking for each other and how food can be a wonderful love language between a couple. Both dramas bring comfort and joy between two people who share a love for food as well as a love for each other. These dramas feel like home.

Both are mystery/thrillers that have a heavy bromance focus (Blind is very familial focused). As I was watching Blind it felt very reminicent of when I watched Beyond Evil for the first time. Especially with trying to figure out who the culprit is and trying to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. Both have a lot of twists and turns along the way that will blow your mind.

Two very warm dramas that focus on romance in the work place. Both explore realising and coming to terms with your feelings and how that will change everything. Cherry Magic has a slight fantasy element, which Old Fashion Cupcake doesn’t but I feel there is a sense of magic in Old Fashion Cupcake through the interactions while eating desserts.

both dramas give off a warm vibes, which makes them easy to watch & enjoy

if you liked the cooking element in ingredients then kinou nani tabeta is similar in that sense as both dramas have a focus on food and how one of the leads cooks for the other/has a passion for cooking

the major differences is that kinou nani tabeta the relationship is already established (whereas ingredients is more of a slow burn romance) and focuses on an older couple but it's still very much enjoyable

Both dramas focus on a couple with an older man and a younger woman and how they navigate their relationships given their age gap and social statuses. The relationships are also somewhat fast paced in both dramas.

a group of friends are split apart after the death of their closet friend & are brought back together when their dead friend comes back after some time has passed, both focus on how the death of someone close to you impacts your life, the struggles of moving on, and getting closure.

slight differences: in our 30 minute sessions they don't realise the main character has come back as a ghost as he possesses someone else's body but the core messages are similar (also great music)

similarities:
- body swap
- music focus
- male leads struggle to express themselves properly to those around them & the body swap helps them with that
- strong bonds between band members
- unfinished business from the characters who body swap with the male lead
- both movies deal with learning to move on and accepting change

differences:
- Our 30 Minute Sessions the male lead is present throughout the movie & switches out with the character he body switches with & they kind of befriend each other in the process, whereas in EVEN once the body switch happens you only see that character within the male lead's body
- though both movies focus on the bands themselves EVEN is more romance focused in my opinion
