The Devil Judge (2021)

These two dramas contain a male lead who have nothing to lose or protect, and are fierce. These dramas also have the genre Law and Mystery which make them similar. Kim jae kyung stars in both the dramas.

I think the thrill and keeping you on the edge factor is similar in both and the genre is both crime/mystery

Ah another epic Bromance on the level of Untamed, Devil Judge, Killer and Healer. Supernatural storyline but gripping.

Feels like the both of the dramas have same vibes

It's by the same writer who is also a former judge, so if you'll love both!

If you like a good revenge themed plot you'll like this, there's also Park Jinyoung who was cameo in Reborn Rich and a main role in Devil Judge, anyways I think Devil Judge, Reborn rich and Vincenzo have that heroic thrill to them so watch them all

TDJ has a judical system by which citizens are legally obliged to vote in favour or against the defendant, determining the defendant's future.

it revolves around judges and lawyers working up their cases with their own ulterior motives, mysterious personalities.

"Insider" Kim Yo Han, a judicial trainee who will go undercover in an investigation but will suddenly face a crisis and will be in prison. He will do his best in order to change his fate while in prison.

"The Devil Judge", Kang Yo Han aura and merciless way of punishing the guilty, dishonest criminals who face his trials, create a different dimension of coexistence between good and evil within a court.

They’re somewhat similar of how loyal the character was to a devious character. They knew he’s evil and it’s against his own morals but for some reason he’s drawn to his force.

Both deal about a male duo that works together but where the older one is neither good or bad and where the younger one is suspicious of them. Both dramas show that the characters have both had a dramatic past that seems connected to each other. The only big difference is that Watcher consists of police officers working together with a lawyer, whereas The Devil Judge is a pure lawyer drama.

The topic of judgement/justice, righteousness, dystopia and heavy religious theming is present in both, although Hellbound is bleaker in tone. You enjoyed the violent Juk Chang cult, media mindgame or charismatic morally-gray figure swaying the masses aspects this heavily features those. Both have powerful female characters. (If the supernatural thing puts you off- just imagine it's an allegory for mysterious plagues, beyond human understanding but scrutinised regardless)

Both Big Mouth and The Devil Judge delve into themes of power, corruption, and societal injustice, but what truly connects these dramas is their morally ambiguous protagonists and intense, suspenseful narratives.

Both dramas excel at crafting dark, high-tension atmospheres with unpredictable twists, compelling social commentary, and protagonists who fight to reveal the hidden truths of a deeply corrupt system. If you enjoyed Big Mouth's gritty suspense and battle of wits, The Devil Judge will keep you hooked with its electrifying courtroom drama and masterful storytelling.

Broadcast the investigation, the judgement. Let public decide and follow the story. One is movie the other one is drama. Get public opinion.

Both dramas wheedle out corrupt people in a live sent tv-show. The backdrop of each drama is different but the driving force is pretty much the same; a person taking the law into their hands to punish the “rotten” people in a public trial.
