Stranger

Both mystery and police related story. Both have Lee Jyeon Hyuk as part of the cast
Recommended for those looking for story that unpredictable with great acting

These dramas offer intense storytelling, complex characters, and themes of crime, morality, and personal struggle, making them excellent choices for fans awaiting "As You Stood By."

They are both serious investigative thrillers. I think if you enjoyed one, you would also enjoy the other.

Both dramas feature the same actor in the lead role. In "God's Gift," he plays an ex-cop, while in "Stranger," he portrays a prosecutor. Though their storylines are completely different, both are thriller mysteries that will keep you hooked with their suspense.
Including [Stranger Season 2]

There are several dramas that fit the image of thriller mystery dramas
Dramas that have a different setup from a normal “cop show”, where the plot movement and story doesn’t follow the book of “cliche dramas”
Also both have great acting

Both have twists and turns to keep you second guessing everything. Both are written cleverly. Trust is an issue, rightfully so.

The Long Night (cdrama) and Stranger (kdrama) share several key similarities:

Genre: Both are gripping crime thrillers with strong mystery and legal drama elements.

Corruption Themes: Each series revolves around uncovering deep-rooted corruption within the legal and political system.

Smart, Reserved Protagonist: Both feature brilliant but emotionally restrained male leads (Jiang Yang in The Long Night, Hwang Si-mok in Stranger) who pursue justice relentlessly.

Nonlinear Storytelling: They use layered, non-linear timelines to unravel complex cases slowly and strategically.

Atmosphere: Both maintain a dark, tense, and intellectual tone throughout.

These dramas focus on justice, moral ambiguity, and institutional critique, making them thought-provoking and intense.

Both have corruption in law enforcement.
Pride and Prejudice: is faster moving with more action. The prosecutor trying to uncover the man who cover up the murder of her younger brother. She believes it could only have been done by a fellow prosecutor. Eventually she gets help from co-workers to solve this case after realizing it is connected to a couple of other cases that have come across their desks.
Stranger: is developing the story a little more slowly. One cop and one prosecutor work together after realizing they have no one in their own departments to trust. The case that brings them together may be related to higher ups in both of their departments. The prosecutor is unable to feel emotion and is balanced out by the cop who is motivated by her feelings of sympathy for the victims and victims families.

Both the shows have following
Smart male lead
Insider investigation
Corruption
Politics
Wanting justice

Both are about chasing a serial killer and corrupt higher ups.
Worth watching drama.
Chilling thrilling.

Both shows are absolutely gripping and showcase the growth of the unlikely friendship between a cold man and a female detective who knows how to hold her own. Both are trying to solve a case that leads back to corrupt politicians. If you enjoyed one, you'll definitely enjoy the other.

both include lawyers that are cold-blooded and distant. but damn good at there job. has a similar type of investigation in it. both male leads have tragic childhoods

A drama with layers of intrigue, twist and conspiracies where the truth seekers efforts are constantly being blocked or thwarted by the evil enemy and their own.

Mostly in the cinematic directing style, the dense plot, the non-romance nature of the show, and the emphasis on detailed directing and acting.

saya suka sekali alur ceritanya karena susah di tebak dan itu membuat saya tidak bosan menonton drama ini. akting para pemerannya juga sangat bagus terutama pemeran utamanya.

recommended banget deh ♥
