Nature is wild, man is wilder.

Both series involve rangers/police officers fighting off dangerous people in remote parts of natural parks / the border.

The stories are gritty, there are a lot of subtle details that you have to pay attention to, the cinematography is superb, the cast and crew definitely know what they're doing.

The chemistry between Lee Je Hoon and Kim Hye Soo feels similar to Joo Ji Hoon and Jun Ji Hyun, the female sunbae teaching the newbie and working together as a team. There's also mystery in the plot and we have different cases in every episode.

Both dramas are related to saving lives in tough nature conditions and tell about rescue activities.

Both have a mystical element and a bittersweet history of love with trauma and a lingering past. The vibe of Jirisan is much more serious and mystical, but sweetly enough, I am convinced they even filmed a scene in the same location. See You in My 19th Life is much more bubbly and the characters are younger than in Jirisan.

While Light Shop is more of a thriller with horror elements (nothing too crazy), Jirisan also shares a kind of mystical ghost presence. They also share the ML. Light Shop is about multiple characters and isn't a romance. Jirisan has some romantic elements but is ultimately about solving a strange reoccurring issue on the mountain. Both have melancholy and supernatural elements with deep love and affection.

Ghost Doctor is entirely comedic. Jirisan is entirely serious and mystical. Both have characters standing between life and death roaming limited areas as essentially ghosts. One lead actor appears in both dramas. While the vibe is entirely different, if you enjoy supernatural elements to emotional development stories that are more about life, some crime solving and a touch of romance in the background, you would enjoy both even though one is a comedy and the other a melodrama.

Light Chaser Rescue is a Chinese drama while Jirisan is a Korean drama (impacting their length). What they have in common is heroic rescuers that kind of make you want to become a rescuer yourself. Light Chaser Rescue is about a volunteer team and has no mystical elements. Jirisan is about forest mountain rangers and it has a ghostly melodramatic feel. Both FL are more cold whereas the ML are more warm, but Jirisan has romance only in the background unlike LCR which has it in the forefront.

Jirisan happens in nature and in Missing it's similar.
These two also have the fantasy/mystery element that really takes a strong part of the story.
There are moments of teamwork for both shows though for different purposes.
In Jirisan, they are looking for people who go missing on the mountain while Missing is sort of a different perspective of searching for those who go missing.

Both series are very much a mixture of folklore, folktale, legends, and myth. This aspect differentiates two series from others tagged with a combo of [Mystery, Thriller, Drama, and Fantasy].
