Similiar in that they are both international with American actors -- both feature Japanese and American actors.
Shogun is Set in Japan in the year 1600, Lord Yoshii Toranaga is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village.
Tokyo Vice is set in 1999, American journalist Jake Adelstein has relocated to Tokyo and must pass a written exam in Japanese to have the chance to join the staff of a major Japanese newspaper. He succeeds in becoming their first foreign-born journalist and starts at the very bottom. Taken under the wing of a veteran detective in the vice squad, he starts to explore the dark and dangerous world of the Japanese yakuza whilst living under the city's official line that "murder does not happen in Tokyo".

Both have the same level of mystery and twists within the Police Force. Both are stories of detectives chasing after the truth behind an unsolved crime, that took place in the past, through cases that take place in the present.
Same as Samayou Yaiba, Juvenile Justice brings to light how the Law views/treats juveniles under twenty who commit very serious crimes and understandable so since it wants to give them the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and rehabilitate them but not all cases are the same and not all crimes are the same. And these tow dramas looks at the very exceptional cases, the victims of these cases and how the families are impacted.
Similar story of a female lead working in a male dominant environment with a cheating husband -- depicts the scandalous scandals of the nation's top law-abiding aristocrats dreaming of hereditary succession.
Similiar to The Cursed as it deals with evil spirits. Priest is a story about doctors and exorcists protecting people together at a Catholic hospital in Seoul.
Both dramas have terminal illness -- leads who feel life has forsaken them but in the process of trying to accept their fate they find ou that life is worth living even if for a moment

Both dramas have past unsolved incidents/crimes start occurring again after a period of time where the children of those involved in the past incident get embroiled in the present incident as they try to uncover the truth behind who may have been involved.
Crime Puzzle is similiar to Doctor Prisoner not necessarily in not in the medical genre per say as much as the psychological mind games of a doctor who loses his medical license for malpractice applies to work at a prison, where his plan is to cozy up to all the bigshots there—business tycoons, celebrities caught for doing drugs, sports stars guilty of gambling—and to win allies, with the ultimate goal of getting revenge against the hospital that ousted him. In Crime Puzzle a criminal psychologist confesses to a crime he may have not committed to enter the prison system and uncover a ring of corruption that reaches far beyond anyone's imagination.
Both have an element of a past crime or case returning to the present to haunt those who were involved in what may have been a cover up within the criminal justice system. Watcher's incident is from 15 years ago where is Chimera's is from 25 years ago -- with police officers and others working against the clock to to uncover the truth and root out corruption and injustice.
Both have a psychological mind game aspect to them. Where Beyond Evil looked at the corruption and involved of a whole town in a cover up. Crime Puzzle looks at how politics and criminals form an alliance to not only cover up the truth but benefit from it.
