The Director Who Buys Me Dinner and Old Fashioned Cupcake for me are like two sides of a coin. The are similar in that it’s a workplace setting, superior/subordinate relationship that is at first resisted or ignored by one side. Old Fashioned Cupcake is more light and fluffy where The Director Who Buys Me Dinner is heavier with more depth and a past with it.
Both of these are BL (gay romances).
Old Fashioned Cupcake is a Japanese production.
The Director Who Buys Me Dinner is a South Korean production.
