- Both are slow-paced + centered around police officers and the crime/injustices that they confront
- While BE is darker and deals with a key plotline throughout, Live explores multiple cases thoroughly with a comparable level of grit and realism
- The MLs organically transition from a forced, clashing partnership to a trusting bromance

To me, the similarity came from the puzzle-like mystery that we are presented with throughout the dramas, getting bit by bit, but wait...almost nothing is as it seems. We have unreliable narrators or witnesses, people who have certain interests at heart, or even if eeeeverybody knows who the culprit/s might be, all can be explained through a different lens or perspective, depends on who's writing the script and what gets presented to the larger public.
Both dramas are very dark in tone, and the nuances of grey are never more apparent than in those who we deem innocent or always protecting the weak.
Twists are present, both in the past and present and by far the cat-mouse race will keep you wondering either who is the (real?) killer or how can we catch him and/or prevent him from further doing any harm. Watch both and prove me wrong :-)

They have the same overall premise, such as-
1. One of the MCs being a suspected killer in a previous cold/unsolved case from a decade or two ago
2. One MC believing that the other is the killer, while struggling to prove it
3. Teaming up between the suspected killer detective and the one that suspects them
4. Old case resurfacing

Both dramas feature an unlikely pair of detectives with their own hidden agendas to solve, who throughout the series grow closer and act together in the interest of serving justice. They both also have to deal with a series of crimes related to their own pasts, and are linked through those crimes, even if they don't appreciate that.
BE's soundtrack is a bit more atmospheric, TGD has a bit more romance, but they're rather similar in tone and storytelling. I found both to be good stories in their own right and deserving of a watch.

Both Crime Dramas deal Cold Cases or Unsolved Murders From The Past.
Two Male Main Leads are Police Officers - Older and Younger partners.
Light to Heavy Bromance
Older is Cool n Social, while younger is Cold n Not Social.
Main Leads are SUSPECTED at some point, can't really tell whether they are GOOD or EVIL initially.
So as the story progresses, IMPRESSIONS on them KEEP CHANGING.
In the end, Younger one learns EMPATHY in the company of older.
Older one is suspected to be a murderer of his ex partner in investigation.
Both has an unexpected character turn bad

Penned by the same writer. The character interactions and growth are phenomenal in both. However, where one follows the same case and mysteries (Beyond Evil), the other is more case-based but done well with detailed explanations. Anyone who loves Beyond Evil for the characters, will love Mad Dog for the same growth arcs.

Both Deal Multiple Murder Cases.
For both dramas, in the duo :
One uses intelligence n the other uses physical strength.
One is serious n the other is silly, haha.

If you enjoyed the Drifting Away, you might find Beyond Evil equally captivating, as both delve into intricate crime investigations and the psychological complexities of their characters.
Both dramas offer a profound exploration of the human psyche against the backdrop of gripping crime stories, making Beyond Evil a compelling watch if you appreciated the narrative style of Drifting Away.
