The Lies Within

"Police is chasing a culprit(s) who is (are) always one step ahead of the investigation".
Both shows are mystery thrillers.
Both shows have detectives, politicians, and sophisticated criminals.
Both shows ask deep philosophical questions.

Both dramas revolve around a married couple where the husband went missing and the wife is now out to find out what happened to him. In both dramas the story is a lot more complex and a much broader masterplan seems to be spun. Both women are strong individuals that work together with a younger male counterpart in order to find out what their husband has been involved with.

Although one is about time travel and another one is not, both dramas have lots of similarities with their respective cases. In both dramas we have a police team that has to deal with similar cases, and situations. Both main leads get help from a female lead who is not involved in the police department. Both cases are gripping and surprising and full of twists and turns one would not expect.

In both shows:
> There is more intrigue than action.
> Corruption runs rampant.
> The leads band together against a common goal.
> The ML suffers a betrayal.
> The FL discovers a secret regarding her father.
> Similar atmosphere (art direction).
> The plot involves the kidnapping of someone.
> The higher ups attempt to stop the ML (detective) of TLW; the higher-ups attempt to stop the FL (Proscutor) of Justice.

Both searching for what really happened about a crime, in the past and in the present. Lot's of suspicion and little clues throughout. Teamwork of a detective and wife, and a attorney and heiress.

Both dramas are done by the same screenwriter. In both dramas the "happy" life of the woman gets interrupted by something that has happened to her husband. She then teams up with the male lead to resolve the situation. Both male leads at some point are faced with similar situations where the police looks for them.
Overall although there are strong differences, such as the male lead working for the police in Lies within, while the ML from Walking on Thin Ice is involved with the drug world, they are having very similar situations and themes.

Both of the shows have a mystery about actions of the characters..Both have characters that take actions for what they perceive is greater good and end up sacrificing themselves
