Strangers from Hell

Same creepy vibe throughout. ML keeps insisting something weird is going on, but people keep dismissing his worries. In both shows the ML is agressive but stubborn in his pursuit.

While SFH has a active FL who is involved in unraveling the mystery, SM2 has a more passive FL.

Both shows involve a cult who takes advantage of people and murders them.

In both shows the leads are socially awkward outcasts. They also idolize their popular love interest.

First story in the 76 horror bookstore anthology has a similar premise to Strangers from Hell - lead charscter moves to the city to earn a living but ends up renting a room in a shady place where inexplicable things start to happen.

The main theme is not the same but the creepiness factor and gore elements are. Shokuzai is way more hardcore though so watch with caution.

They're almost similar to each other. it gives off the same vibes from what is happening to Strangers from Hell.

In both series a underdog like main character has encounters with psychopaths/murders and their influence changes his nice and quiet personality to something more scarier

Both are darker dramas with psychopaths and aren't afraid to show very violent scenes. They have a lot of focus on mental health and the slow downfall of the characters as they deteriorate mentally and start to go insane.

Both stories are violent but powerful. The plot is not the same but you feel the same sense of desperation and gloom.

Both SFH and Burning are brilliant psychological thrillers. Both MLs aspire to be writers while struggling in society because of their financial status. Moonjo and Ben are seriously brothers from different mothers too ^^

The villain is trying to groom the victim to become another villain. Bloody and grotesque scenes are also similar in both dramas.

It is the people around the protagonists who drive them to madness...in both of them they are made out to be crazy, more so than they are...

SIMILARITIES: (no or really slight spoilers)

- morally grey characters and their doings
- fast paced story
- amazing visuals and ost
- portraited torture and sadicstic characters
- Seo Moonjo & Yongwoo relationship can be viewed similar to VegasPete from KP
- Moonjo and Vegas can be considered as similar characters (altough Vegas is more morally grey character, when Moonjo is rather a villian

DIFFERENCES & WHAT TO KNOW
- KP thai drama, SFH korean drama
- KP is definitely lighter than SFH, it contains comedy, which isn't included in SFH
- SFH is more gorey than KP
- SFH isn't exactly a BL (in my opinion there is a strong chemistry + a lot of details that are a bit spicy, but there's no kissing etc. in SFH)
- SFH is a disturbing horror, while KP is more action themed romance

Both dramas have/are..
- Very similar premises, which is around strange people in complexes.
- Fast paced.
- Culprit who’s much closer than you’d think.
- Gloomy atmosphere.

Parasite is based more on moral focus.
These two drama and movie are different sides of the same coin.
