Both are about the friendship and later romance that grows between two high school students - one very popular and the other extremely introverted. The roles are gender flipped, though. In both, Suzuka Ouji plays the ML.

Both dramas have a awkward protagonist with low self esteem. They feel unworthy of their crush's attention and care.
