The plots of both shows are very different BUT hear me out! I feel like they are both similarly very fast paced and never leave you bored.

Personally, I thought both shows were bingeable and I would rewatch these shows, especially if I were feeling a kdrama slump.

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.
