Yeah, so it looks like The Judge Returns will definitely take on a more unhinged approach to the main character's personality, just like Bad and Crazy does. So if you're into all-over-the-place, extreme behaviours MCs, these two dramas offer them.

More similarities - a legal setting (judge vs. prosecutor), some trauma, a good support team.

Judge Lee Han Yeong, who believed justice could be achieved in the courtroom, defied his superiors' orders and sentenced a conglomerate chairman to life in prison, only to be killed for it. But was it because of the secrets he overheard as a child? Retaining all his memories, he is given a second chance at life. The world needs him, Lee Han Yeong, the heretic of the judiciary who knows only justice. Kim Jin A is a prosecutor determined to take down the corporate chairman responsible for her father’s death.

They are both about corrupt turned good guys who die after trying to uproot corruption. They both go back in time to destroy the corrupt ecosystem in the law space. One is a judge the other a lawyer

If you enjoy stories where deeply flawed characters become heroes in their pursuit of justice against untouchable corrupt elites, with a blend of action, legal drama, humor, and moral complexity, then 'Vincenzo' hits all those same notes.

The excavator scene was really remind me of taxi driver 3 lol then a few scene too but i really enjoying progress dealing with lee hanyoung did in the script that was clear strategic politics mind, and still easy to understandable the story is

Same actor. Similar fierceness. Different fates. Think The Devil Judge meets Again My Life. Is it justice or revenge?

The Judge Returns and Familiar Wife are similar because both revolve around the idea of getting a second chance to fix past mistakes and rethink life choices. In Familiar Wife, the male lead wakes up in an alternate reality where his marriage and life are completely different, forcing him to confront the regrets and emotional neglect of his past, while The Judge Returns gives its lead a chance to go back in time and correct his failures through justice and moral responsibility. In both dramas, the protagonists start off flawed and emotionally immature, and the second chance becomes a catalyst for deep self-reflection, personal growth, and learning how to love better. They blend fantasy elements with very real emotional struggles, questioning whether fate controls life or whether choices do, and ultimately emphasizing that growth, accountability, and changed behavior matter more than simply rewriting the past.
