This series, like Dr. Kim, has a lot of medical space and they have similar genres. Next Yoo Yeon-seok has acted in this series like Dr. Kim.

Both shows:
> Are set mostly in the hospital.
> Are melodramas.
> The leads are both doctors.
> The FLs are shown to struggle with a personal trauma that makes it hard for them to be a doctor.
> The MLs are smart, successful, and skillful.
> The FLs admire their superior and wish to learn from him. In DJ that superior is the ML, while in DR it's the 2ML.
> The Doctor in charge has been wrongfully accused at the start of the show. They are also both geniuses. They both have a "Dr. House" quality to them; with them being a bit impolite and eccentric in their actions.

Yoo Yeon Seok also plays a doctor in this kdrama with a similar setup (hospital, friendship, the stories involving the patients).

Both are medical dramas in which the main character is a mysterious surgeon who has unconventional ideas about doctors.
Both have a bit action but focus on surgery etc.
While doctor stranger also focuses on the main characters love interest, romantic doctor focuses on ethics and interactions of the characters.
Recommended by Lyoness
Similar ethical topics are addressed, with similar situations playing out in the hospital settings. There are significant differences in the plot outside of the hospitals, but the tone/atmosphere and the types of issues addressed in both dramas are similar.
Recommended by Soula
Both dramas have similar feels when in the hospital setting, but Doctors is lighter in tone. Romantic Doctor Kim is much heavier and a bit darker in tone and Doctors spends a lot more time building up to the history of the characters.

When I first saw the transferring to another hospital with a poor condition in D-Day I immediately remembered RDTK. Although it won't be the focus in D-Day, I can still see the resemblance especially how the lights get turned off in the hospital. The dramatic accidents are very similar to those in RDTK because they have a similar feel. D-Day is based on Disaster genre, so there is more of that there. And they both have light romance that develop slowly.

Both medical dramas. Both involves doctors who'd rather save lives rather than being a doctor just for the money. Similar plot.

Although I would like to say season 1 and 2 are different in story line but the concept is still there. I recommend both seasons because it entails life lessons and different medical cases. It portrays realistic situations and good research.

Both are tackling issues in medical field setting. Both main leads will not be the focused of the story but a particular lead that a story will revolve around.

Both are medical dramas with strong, interesting characters and emotional, heatrbreaking moments. Both are thought-provoking, too. And have amazing cast, of course.

It's a medical drama and it reminded me of this drama a lot.

Though they might be a bit different, Blood is still a medical drama which I have enjoyed as much as this one. You should totally give this a try, you will never regret it :D
