Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

Both dramas revolve around troubled youth/high school students and strong and heartwarming bromance. Although the plot itself isn't too similar, the vibes in general (youth & school setting, violence & angst, bromance & mostly male cast) are.

Will definitely both make you cry
Both about 3 friends going through school
You can see the development and the destruction of their friendships
ABSOLUTELY HEARTWRENCHING

Focus on Bullying: Both stories feature protagonists who are bullied regularly. In "Boyhood," Mason faces physical and emotional bullying from his classmates and even older students. In "Weak Class Hero," Yeon-Shi suffers relentless academic and physical harassment from the "Union 3," a tyrannical student gang.
Coming-of-Age Struggles: Both narratives depict the challenges and uncertainties of growing up. In "Boyhood," Mason navigates first relationships, academic pressures, and family difficulties. In "Weak Class Hero," Yeon-Shi grapples with his anger, isolation, and the desire for justice.
Underdog Protagonists: Both protagonists are initially portrayed as weak and vulnerable. Mason shrinks from confrontation and seeks solace in escapism. Yeon-Shi, though physically capable, lacks the confidence and strategy to challenge the bullies directly.
Transformation and Growth: Over time, both characters experience a subtle but significant transformation. Mason develops a stronger sense of self and learns to navigate social complexities. Yeon-Shi, through strategic maneuvers and alliances, begins to dismantle the Union 3's power structure

They are both about how violence breeds violence, with situations that spiral out of control.
They feature similar themes of retribution and I also think the vibes are similar.
Apart from that, the dramas are different in terms of the setting and character ages. Although both feature students, one features a Policy-Officer in training while the other feature high school students.
WHC1 is about bullies and while there is some implicit critques of society, it is "closer" to the characters than in Vigilante where the critque of society is specifically about injustice in the criminal system.
Both also feature a Bromance (WHC1's is more plot relevant) and has characters I grew to care about almost instantly.

These are both action-packed shows that start off with the character having a hard time because their character development hasn't kicked in. But as both shows go on, you start to see the dominance, and the vengeance starts to grow in the characters.
While Big Mouth is a husband-and-wife duo that starts off having the ML cute and flexible but not successful at all, while the FL is trying to support them both... As the show progresses, the ML starts to face challenging situations that refine his overall character. The ML has one of the biggest changes in character I have probably ever seen in a show, and there is never a dull moment because of it!
Big Mouth also seems to have two plots going on at the same time: the main plot that the ML is tangled up in and the subplot that the FL is working on. But both of these plots end up crossing each other in unexpected ways, causing the show to be an absolute masterpiece.

Both are action packed stories with focus on friendship instead of romance.
Weak hero is more focused on relationships and emotions, while maintaining great story telling and action bits while Black Knight focuses more on the main story and the main conflict. Black Knight doesn't develop the characters as much but there's still sense of comraderie and the general feeling of vindication is the same
