Bitter Blood

The atmosphere in both Tokyo DOGS and Bitter Blood involves comedy, as well a reoccurring villain for most of the episodes. Both also explore the relationship between the two main characters who make up a hilarious duo, as well as between them and the supporting characters (their team). Both also focus on the characters' roles as detectives. If you love one, you'll surely love the other!

Both are very fun detective dramas that focus on two male leads with opposite personalities. In Bitter Blood, it's an estranged father-son dynamic where the two end up having to work together. In MIU404, they also have to learn how to work as partners after initially not wanting to.

“That gap is unfair~!”

Once a week, Mori Meiko begins working as an instructor at an announcing school. She manages to get through the unfamiliar classes thanks to her earnest student “Yukari-kun,” whose real name is Hayama Yukari.

Yukari-kun is soothing! A heart’s oasis, an adorable student! But outside of school, Yukari-kun has an unexpected side…?!

Cute yet mature, Yukari-kun’s overwhelming gap makes it impossible to look away! What will become of this slightly nerve-wracking romance between a younger instructor and an older student?!

Similarities:
- father and son work together to investigate crime.
- the father was absent in the mc life but unexpectedly find themselves meeting them.
- the father disapproves of the mc investigation methods.

differences:
Theseus no Fune:
- has a supernatural element; the mc travels to the past.
- the father doesn't know the mc is his son.
- mc isn't a detective, he investigate to figure out what happened in the past but his father is a police officer.

Buddy cop dramas with a veteran and a rookie. Similar characteristics like the older one is childish and the younger tries to be serious. Lots of bickering.

both father and son police officers fighting crime. bitter blood has a bit more 'comedy' than 'the thunder' but they both investigate crimes and are overall pretty good crime/mystery dramas

So far it is similar because they both involve the police department and they have a funny duo who work together in a sort of forced way.

Both have found family trope
The leads are secretly family.
In bitter blood the leads are estranged father and son
Where as in k2 the leads are step brothers
Both are cop comedies
Both have one case that needs to be solved for us to know what happened in their past.

-both have good bromance
-both have mystery element in it
-both are related to investigation
-AND OFC THERE IS SATOH TAKERU (ABSOLUTE BAE)
-both have comedy element
-both are adaptations

Both have funny characters with serious cases, also both dramas partners are great combo (even if in Bitter Blood they say that they hate each other while in doS they like each other openly) also Bitter Blood is more realistic while in doS have some unrealistic, "Manga/Anime" style moments (although it's only few moments)

Everyday's policemen work, catching the bad guys, interesting dynamics (good friends in TGD1&2, estranged father-and-son in BB), not a lot of interfering romance (if any).

- Not so serious detective drama
- Light cases
- Weak team
- Charming lead actors (Watabe Atsuro, Sato Takeru, Tamaki Hiroshi)

Funny and Watabe Atsuro is also in it. Both actors/actress do crazy things. Disobedience is a must in these dramas

The perfect combination of crime/detective drama and comedy. Both series show funny characters that prefer to do their job their own unique way.

similar in the sense that it is a crime/detective/thriller show. people are solving cases and it's pretty episodic. also, they are both pretty good and enjoyabled. 8+
