While Doctor John is more serious, I think these two dramas have a similar tone. The romance is similar, and both are sweet and heartwarming dramas about the medical world.

Both male main characters have an illness that makes it difficult to be a doctor but both pursue to be doctors and do their best despite their weaknesses.
Both dramas have romance between doctors and residents. It's not the main focus of either story.
Medical mysteries do not overwhelm the story with things to do so that there is no more room for character development. Characters build a strong relationship with each other and with themselves.

Both "Doctor John" and "Partners for Justice" are Korean dramas, but they explore different genres and narratives despite sharing some potential connections. Here's a breakdown of their similarities and differences:

Similarities:

Focus on justice: Both dramas touch upon themes of seeking justice, albeit in different ways. "Doctor John" explores uncovering medical malpractice and fighting for patients' rights. "Partners for Justice" focuses on legal investigations and bringing criminals to justice.
Morally ambiguous characters: Both feature characters who sometimes operate in ethical gray areas to achieve their goals. "Doctor John" has the titular doctor who bends rules to help patients, while "Partners for Justice" might display prosecutors resorting to unconventional methods.
Strong female leads: Both dramas feature capable and determined female characters who fight for what they believe in. In "Doctor John," the female lead assists the doctor in uncovering the truth. In "Partners for Justice," the female lead is a prosecutor herself.
Suspenseful elements: Both dramas incorporate elements of suspense and mystery, keeping viewers engaged with the unfolding stories.
Differences:

Genre: "Doctor John" primarily belongs to the medical drama genre with thriller elements, while "Partners for Justice" falls under the legal drama and crime thriller genre.
Focus: "Doctor John" concentrates on the medical field and uncovering healthcare-related wrongdoings. "Partners for Justice" primarily explores legal investigations and the criminal justice system.
Overall tone: "Doctor John" adopts a more somber and emotional tone, tackling ethical dilemmas and medical issues. "Partners for Justice" leans towards a suspenseful and action-oriented tone, focusing on solving crimes and legal battles.
Character dynamics: "Doctor John" primarily revolves around the relationship between the doctor and his assistants, with the romance subplot playing a significant role. "Partners for Justice" focuses on the partnership between the prosecutor and the forensic investigator, with less emphasis on romance.
In summary:

If you enjoy suspenseful dramas with morally ambiguous characters and themes of fighting for justice, both "Doctor John" and "Partners for Justice" might be worth exploring.
However, if you prefer medical dramas with deeper emotional themes, "Doctor John" might be a better choice.
Alternatively, if you're drawn to legal dramas with crime investigation elements, "Partners for Justice" could be more appealing.

The same male lead actor Ji Sung :) In both dramas he's a medical doctor in a hospital. Both hospitals have politics drama and moral discussions. Both are about patient's stories and doctor's lives and a love story too.

-Both the dramas have same theme
-Both of them have family issues and how they solve them
my opinion is that Doctor John is a much better on then hospital playlist cause in each episode of doctor john i laughed, i cried, i was serious and i enjoyed it to fullest(this is only a opinion that can differ to person to person)

After receiving a terminal diagnosis, a devoted husband discovers his wife’s affair. With little time left and his son’s future at stake, he embarks on a relentless quest for revenge that will change their family forever.

Takasaka Aoi lived happily with his wife, Mitsuki, and their son Ren. But one day, during a medical examination, he was told he had only three months to live. Encouraged by his beloved wife, Aoi decided to fight the disease. But when Aoi left, Mitsuki took out her smartphone and made a call. "Ken-chan. Aoi-kun is really going to die!" Mitsuki's true nature gradually becomes clear. With only three months to spare, Aoi must uncover Mitsuki's true identity in order to protect Ren!

LMIYD isn't medical but I think they are similar in the fact that the male leads are very talented in what they do. In Doctor John the male lead is a talented doctor who was wronged in the past. In LMIYD the male lead is a skilled criminal phycologist, he is well known and one of the best in his field. Similarly to in Doctor John, people find him suspicious at first and think he's a bad person, but with the help of the female lead (that they slowly fall in love with), they are accepted and people realise their skill in their field. The female leads also become able to accept their tragic pasts, whilst falling deeply in love with the troubled male lead.

I highly recommend both dramas. They are both very similar, just one is based on medical situations and the other, criminal situations :)

like doctor x, it features a physician with seemingly superhuman abilities who operates outside the system’s rules condemned by society but indispensable in the operating room. both dramas explore the tension between brilliance and conformity in a medical world corrupted by power.

Both are emotional dramas about trauma, healing and learning how to connect with others. The characters carry painful experiences from their past, and the people around them play an important part in helping them move forward.

Both also feature characters who struggle with communication and expressing their emotions. Life After Death has an autistic second ML who gradually learns to build relationships and express love. While the circumstances are very different, the ML in Doctor John goes through a similar journey of opening up and learning to let someone into his life.

Romance has a strong healing aspect in both, with the characters supporting each other through trauma and difficult moments in life.

They're quite different in genre though. Doctor John is a medical drama centered around pain and medical ethics, while Life After Death is more focused on the characters' personal relationships and family lives.

There is this subtle romance between the two main leads that makes me think of both the dramas. Also, the melancholy of the story which that subtle romance springs to life.

Definitely a slow burn on both ends but the connection between the leads is undeniable.
