Similar characters. We have an older, more cynical and serious character that does not hold back to fight for his justice, while the younger one is trying to fight for the "good" of humanity. Both revolve around the law and both evolve around similar concepts. Generally both dramas give off very similar vibes.
In a dystopian Korea where society has collapsed and distrust in leaders runs deep, Head Trial Judge Kang, known as the "Devil Judge," runs a brutal courtroom reality show, punishing the guilty with ruthless precision. His mysterious persona divides public opinion—some view him as a hero, while others suspect his true intentions. A bitter rivalry ensues between the "Devil Judge" and the ambitious Jung Sun Ah, a corporate foundation director. Amidst this chaos, two childhood friends, rookie Judge Kim Ga On and Police Officer Yoon Soo Hyun, strive for true justice, challenging both the scheming Jung Sun Ah and the notorious Kang.
What is justified when it comes to justice? Both dramas thematize this question. Both have criminals and the question of how far the legal system should go in order to punish them. Both demonstrate good and evil, morals and fairness. Both main characters go controversial ways and make you question your own standpoint on how far one can go for it to be too far.
