- the tone is the same
- gangs and action packed
- the cinematography and visual effect pretty much the same
- betrayal and loss on both sides
- emotionally moving
- Forgotten has more narrative switches
- Forgotten includes redemption arc, while Merciless is kind of leaving you hanging.
Forgotten is a better movie overall, but I think that this duo from Merciless carried the movie well, and definitely is worth it to watch just for their chemistry. Of course, except for the whole plot and vibe that is similar to the Merciless.

Absolutely. CoN has to do with crime and punishment of the people who have gravely mistreated children, and so does Blind. They both include serial killers. Their themes also seem to overlap greatly, namely victims and perpetrators seem to be everywhere. Then the questions they ask are the same: "Who has the right to judge?" or "At what point is the punishment justified?"
I would say Blind focuses more on the mystery aspect 'who is it'-who is the serial killer; and CoN focuses on the reasons why the people were killed in the first place.
CoN did better job with the story cohesion, overall (they had 32 episodes to do so, while Blind had 16). Blind had a more interesting premise overall, but execution goes to CoN. The cinematography in Blind is gore, bright and punchy, while CoN has had more earthy tones and subdued action scenes. Blind has better villain but actors being quite neutral in performance in CoN perhaps gives the worthy topic the center of the stage. I remember more scenes from Blind (gorgeous visual effects), while the theme and lessons I got more from CoN.
