Doctor Prisoner

Revenge plot for the main male character mostly. In Lawless lawyer, there's more romance scenes but doesn't become too much it's a good balance with the plot.

The male leads are both very smart and lowkey mysterious in their ways. The females are also smart and strong.

Both MLs are motivated by revenge.
No romance
Both fighting corruption.
Both have strong ladies supporting them.

-The same protagonist
-Funny moments ( more so in Chief Kim)
-He plays a much lighter role in Chief Kim, but if you loved him in Doctor Prisoner, you will love him here to

Again the male leads are both in Chief Kim and play really good roles as dark characters.
They deal with crime and law and prison and provide really good storylines with plot twists (though Doctor Prisoner definitely had better plot twists)
There are much stronger partnerships in Confession which makes it less of a one-man fight, but there is still corruption and a large power difference between the good and bad guys.
I hope you enjoy!

Doctor Prisoner centers around an ace doctor in a university hospital’s emergency care center, a skilled professional who treats his patients with full devotion and without discrimination. However, his medical license gets suspended as a result of a medical malpractice incident that arises when the hospital board director causes a ruckus. He then gets his certificate as a medical internist and applies to work at a prison, where his plan is to cozy up to all the bigshots there—business tycoons, celebrities caught for doing drugs, sports stars guilty of gambling—and to win allies, with the ultimate goal of getting revenge against the hospital that ousted him. To do so, he’ll get rid of the existing prison chief doctor and claim the spot for himself.

Both dramas:

> The antagonist develops an interest towards the FL (more evident in Voice than Doctor Prisoner).
> Have a strong female lead.

The smart power play between Dr. Na Yi Je and Dr. Sun Min Shik and others here is similar to the constant power play between Ha Seon and the antagonists in The Crowned Clown. The Crowned Clown has some really intense political twists as well, and every episode is enthralling. Highly recommended!
