If you want to know the sentiment towards Taiko during his later years, Gunshi Kanbei has good depiction of it. This is important to understand why conflicts between Ishida and Tokugawa exist in the first place. Gunshi Kanbei is 85% following history while Shogun is 95% fiction.
Similarities: Kanbei was a Christian samurai so you will get good depiction of Japanese Christian during the time. However Kanbei character has not represented in Shogun.
Downside:
1. Gunshi Kanbei span over 50 episodes
2. Gunshi Kanbei doesn't focus much on Tokugawa (Toranaga in Shogun)
3. Gunshi Kanbei can't match the Shogun budget

If you want to know more about Japan politics especially the conflicts after the death of Taiko, Aoi has the best depiction and it is also one of the best and comprehensive drama discussing Battle of Sekigahara, which is the final moment in Clavell's Shogun.
The difference is Aoi follows 90% of the actual history while Shogun as we know does not.
Bonus: Miura Anjin (Blackthorne) does have an appearance in Aoi
Downside:
1. Aoi is 49 episodes long and span over the 3 generations of Tokugawa
2. Aoi has low budget compared to Shogun for obvious reason
3. Aoi has old actors playing younger role

Both have a Republican Era setting and are about the FL seeking revenge on a powerful man who destroyed her family, but in the process she ends up falling in love with the man's son.
Bl love story between the dentist and the patient. Very cute characters, a lot of shenanigans. Sweet tooth isn't even out yet, but it seems like a remake of My Tooth your love even judging by the trailer.
Also involves complex time loops and traveling to the past to discover love. Acting is excellent and overall plot is angsty and satisfying. Not as comedic as Lovely Runner.
Both Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist and Fish Upon the Sky are based in a university setting with one of the main characters being a student in the Faculty of Dentist.
If you liked Shogun, you might also like Six Flying Dragons (SFD). Besides the obvious differences—one is a K-drama, the other an American production, and one has 50 episodes and the other 10—there are many similarities. Both are about the rise of authoritarian leaders. Like Shogun, SFD is very well written and acted out, and there is a mix of real-life and fictional characters.
However, the main difference is that SFD does not use any historical revisionism, neither character nor plot. Historical events are followed to the letter, both the glory and gore.

dark, school drama to keep you on your toes. Great quality and great cast. If your looking for a drama to binge this will really have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

This is a remake of the original hit Taiwanese movie. The Korean film has a university setting, whereas the original was set in high school, but the plot is similar other than that, with minor changes and tweaks.
Both dramas feature the slice of life genre with a warm, rich cast where even the ensemble roles are lovingly developed. Both feature romance, especially romance between reunited childhood friends. Cinematography features warm colors and intimate shots. Mix between emotional and soothing OSTs. Both are feel good shows.
