Roosevelt Game (2014)

Both drama have parallel sport and business plots combined together, in the sense that business maker got inspired by the sportsmen fighting spirit to save their company from collapsing. Both are based on Ikeido Jun's novel and produced by TBS, so the viewer will get the similar feel and vibe. There are also technical stuffs being discussed in both dramas in particular how investment in RnD and having the right expertise can distinguish a company from it's much bigger rival.

Both dramas combine sport and business themes into one, and based on novels of the same writer. The plots are different though, where Roosevelt Game has "parallel sport-business story" but No Side Game is a more directly connected sport-business kind of story.

Both talk about how to survive in business world, taking cruel measurements sometimes, and the same vibe of 'fighting till the end' of Hanzawa clearly manifests in Hosokawa.

Both dramas, though focused about business, include other issues of love, persistence, failure, and success.

Both series have the same style, the same novel author, same screenwriter, same producers and even some common actors. Recommended!
