Awaken (2020)

Both about experiments on kids. We have also some revenge aspects and mistery. A lot of actions and suspense. Strongly recommend it.

In both dramas, both main characters are unconventional/ controversial detectives who are involved in solving the deep secret within the police force. In both setting the organisations were involved in dark and unspeakable project that cost many lives and ending up affecting the lives of the main leads.

Awaken and my mister both is about romance and friendship. Both serie has first one sided love and a friendship at the same time. it still has different story but still feels like they has something connective. The more you watch theseseries more you get addictive about these stories.

Both series shares
- cult like organization
- leading people to believe in lies
- crimes by involving past incidents
- the lives of people closely tied with each other

Both have similar vibes. MLs use extreme means to achieve his goals. In Awaken, the ML is clearly more emotional and has a clear bottom line. In TMWYS, it's a lot blurrier. FL clearly likes ML in Awaken but that doesn't seem to be the case in TMWYS.

Both dramas are full of action
Awaken has special powers
SL is hidden gem, with plenty of funny moments
If you like atcion comedy, go for SL

Both series shares a cult like organization, leading people to believe in lies and covering crimes by involving past incidents that has nothing to do with an event happening in present. The lives of people closely tied with each other, it shares crimes of human beings.
People who are trying so hard to uncover truth & powerful people supporting the cults are creating obstacles.

Both have powers this might be the only common thing but if you like this I think u will definitely like that too.
