humane doctors - wonderful supporting chara(s) - sad but heartwarming case of medic - and most important: there is an onscreen aura of honesty and realness

Maybe the tone (hana no kusari is darker) and the genre are different, but the main point/ main twist is quite similar ....
You will understand it if you watch
XD

Heartfelt medical/human drama and full of wonderful casts. The nature of 2 main male characters are quite similar, too

mind and psychological games on TV show, with some twists and mysteries here and there

-genius investigator with somewhat dark past and unpredictable nature
-psycho criminals in almost every episode
-corpseless murders as vital point
-good plots and mysteries
-a beautiful detective as eye candy <3

but of course IRY lighter than M :D

biographic light periodical theme + business + inspirational story + romance + family + slice of life

but, of course the dorama length is very different :D

an amateur take the challenge to lead Japan as Prime Minister ....

-same screenwriter and director
-same period drama with epicness aura
-Saki and Toshiko have fairly similar characteristics (delicate, very supportive, but strong willed)
-Kenta Kiritani as supporting character(s)

these two asadoras have so many resemblances, and I will reveal main storyline if I mention them one by one.
:D

but dont worry, ohisama is NOT kirari's copycat
ohisama have its own style and tell us different theme and life messages

Both ...

-have the same backdrops of WW II on Japan
-have Inoue Mao in the same role as a wife waiting for her husband comeback from battlefield
-are story-telling style drama/movie

Both are comical + political satire romcom in the parliament and government.

Both ....

-have an extremely weird and socially awkward male lead
-have main couple with cute love/hate relationship
-have plenty of smart, well written, rapid fire dialogs
-have smart and unique type of funny elements : they can make us sad/cry and laugh/smile simultanously in one scene
-have same underlying message about the true form of love
