Andante is more bittersweet and slower paced than Hometown, but both drama's deal with loss and grief and healing. The male lead in Andante is a teenager who needs to grow and mature while the male lead in Hometown is an adult in need of healing from past trauma. The female lead in Andante is a struggling young woman needing help with carrying her burdens while the female lead in Hometown is a bit selfish and self-absorbed and needing to grow as a person. Both dramas portray romantic relationships that grow the people in them in different ways.

The stories themselves are not particularly similar, but the overall vibe and feel of both dramas is. Both stories involve absurdist humor/outlandish situations and a heavy focus on fashion. Kuragehime is definitely more heartfelt while Wanko is pure comedy, but both are uproarious fun.

Both dramas deal with some of the challenges of deafness, and both have a very healing and comforting feeling to them. They are stories about overcoming challenges, both physical and mental, and facing your life head on.

The similarity lies in the overall feelings of the drama, the heartwarming elements, the way they both address more serious topics, the way they're both filmed, their themes and messages. I would say both dramas qualify as 'healing,' which is a big descriptor you hear for dramas these days. Both of these stories will most likely leave you with the same feeling when you finish, which is one of hopefulness.

Both dramas address heavy but important topics in thoughtful, gentle, but truthful ways, and the storytelling in both is slower-paced with a dash of slice-of-life feel. They are stories that make you feel hopeful and full, even in the bittersweet moments.

Both are about life in your early 20's from a girl's perspective, one with the premise of falling for an idol, the other filled with simple makeup tutorials that anyone can recreate.

I wouldn't say they are similar in terms of their storylines but they're both about high school life and are easy, fun watches for a lazy Saturday afternoon.
