Ready, Set, Love (2024)

- Disease that affects only males, making men a rare commodity
- Unconventional and quirky leads
- Story takes place in a safe location where men are kept
- Gender role reversal
- Queer rep
- Social commentary

The stories are vastly different in tone and setting. RSL is a light romcom while Ooku is much darker and melancholic

None that goes by the same just that the background is quite similar, especially the game thingy and the punishment that goes along when they were eliminated ????

- Matriarchies (One contemporary (RSL), one historical (LtHT)). In LtHT, it's a women-only town but there are plenty men in the outside world while in RSL the vast majority of men died out.)
- Women trying to win the men's affection
- Female competition (in RSL to win a husband and in LtHT to be able to hunt one, lol)
- Misandry
- Proactive women, passive men
- Secondary couple have the aloof woman / smitten man
- Shady rulers and conspiracy
- LGBTQ+ representation
- Both are Thai dramas from the same year (seriously, what are the odds??)

The tone, setting and plot are quite different tho. RSL is a romcom set in a dystopia while LtHT is basically amazons if they were a cult and less fighting-oriented.

- Contemporary matriarchies
- Quirky leads
- Gender role reversal (more present in TOHoMaY)
- Social commentary (feminism)
- Lots of comedy despite heavier themes
- Bright and bold aesthetics
- Slight but unique bromance

Premise and story wise they're very different but I couldn't help but feel their vibes were similar.

While very different plots, both explore gender roles in a semi-futuristic society in which some event (male pregnancy vs. almost no males) has occurred. Both are offbeat dramas with a heartwarming vibe.

Same premise, aka a dating show. The Japanese version is about marriage while the Thai version is more about "winning" a decent guy.

Ready, Set, Love is a faster, funnier take on a similar concept of a group of pretty boys who are trapped and get made aware of their situation by ladies from the 'outside' world. If you liked the second leads and/or the rescue plot of Love Crossed, then RSL is definitely worth checking out.
