Through the Darkness

악의 마음을 읽는 자들 ‧ Drama ‧ 2022
Both of these dramas are focused on using profilers for analysing a criminal's psychological and behavioural characteristics. So if you liked one you will definitely like the other !

both shows are about serial killing and how eventually it was solved..... not so much profiling but rather the PROCESS of how justice was brought is the common denominator

ML in both shows are excellent!

Both series has a murderer on loose, and the series is set in past just like Mouse. Both series story line follows a serial killer, chased by a cop (in this case profiler) who doubts and prob into true killer identity regardless of a culprit caught by his peers.

The vibes and the pattern feels uncannily similar to Mouse. People watching Through The Darkness, must see Mouse, who also deals with psychology and psychopathy that originated from studies of Behavioural Science Unit 1 of FBI, who coined the term Serial Killer for the first time in criminal psychology.

as some of you might know, the story of Yoo young chul is real~ this documentary follows the incidents of early 2000s in Korea. if you want to know more about the cases and how criminal behaviour analysis became a thing in Korea, this documentary is totally recommended!
through the darkness and the raincoat killer are both based on the same story

Both are Crime Dramas with CRIMINAL PROFILER (psychological analysis of the suspect and thereby helping the police detective team in investigation) as the main lead

Deals with multiple murders.

Both are interesting and have a gripping storyline

Both are about serial killer / raincoat serial murders case.

Actually the serial killer in "The chaser" is one of the cases in "Through the darkness"

Both are grippng to watch, though "the chaser" has raw Gore Violence (so be aware of that)

I would't say they are smililiar in many aspects, but the impression? The feeling the episodes leave after you watch it?
Both of them grab your attention to the point you don't even notice you're at the end of the episode. It keeps you hooked. Although Through the Darkness is based on real events (as far as i know) and Bigh Mouth is fictional... I'd say, both leave that "emptiness" after.
So if you've watched Big Mouth and don't know that to do with your life now, or you're watching it while it's still airing and don't know what to do in the meantime, I think it's defenetly worth for you to check out Through the Darkness.

Actor Kim Nam gil acted in both the dramas.

Both the dramas are of different genres, nothing in common and are just another works of the actor.

But the variations in his roles in these two dramas, surprises alot .
In one, as a cold introvert person, who never talks (dark vibes surrounding him) and in another as a fiery n yet funny n lively person, who never stops talking n smiling, punishing the bad guys and giving evil smirks to them, haha

Actor's fans will enjoy and love both.

Both dramas revolve around profiling and deal around the psychology of crimes and culprits. The only difference is that while Through the Darkness focuses on the detective trying to figure out the criminal, while in Burning Ice multiple different people try to analyze one another and their opponent. Also, both have very well concepted crime cases.

Queen of Mystery is about a frustrated profiler played by Choi Kang Hee who likes to tag along with a detective in solving crimes while Through The Darkness is about the beginning of Korea's profiling system. Each episode of both shows explain possible behavior of perpetrators and how crimes are committed.

Both shows live by the basic forensic (exchange) principle “Every contact leaves a trace” by E.Locard.

Both dramas are crime thrillers with a police detective/ profiler as the main lead

Both deal multiple murders.

Even the main lead is suspected of being a murderer (awaken) or becoming a murderer (through the darkness)

Both have a dark vibe around the main lead
Recommended by AigooMyLengthyParagraphs
Tragic storylines, with the main focus being on profiling. Especially the first couple of episodes of Crime Puzzle are quite similar to Through the Darkness. Also both male leads are quite similar in demeanor.

Both Missing Noir M and Through the Darkness are about investigations and solving crimes and Serial Killers
