Both are dark Korean thriller series focused on real serial killer cases and cold-case investigations.

Both about brilliant FLs who bring the family back from the brink of despair. They do so by starting businesses as well. They also both have supportive, romantic partners..

It has the same idea of the show being centered on a certain theme, in this case a convenience store, and has a main cast with guest coming on the show.

I don't want to give spoilers but character dynamics and roles are the same. Both has queer love also. You will not regret

I saw some comments under The Merciless about The Handmaiden and they were so right. All these plot twists and relationship between main characters and their intentions are so similar. Plus, queer love

Both Wu and Peaceful Property are bromance-focused dramas with supernatural storylines. Both dramas follow two unlikely partners who start off clashing but slowly grow really close and end up becoming emotionally dependent on each other. Both series balance comedy, fun banter, and emotional moments instead of being completely dark or horror-focused.

Although the settings are different, both dramas have a fun squad. Supposedly lead by an intelligent leader, the members are a bit fools, but they are fun, kind and passionate to save people !

Neither show takes itself too seriously all the time.
The comedy was honestly one of the strongest parts of both dramas.
