Both are Law focussed although I find Stranger more darker since it mainly deals with heavy crimes & killing.
Both also have super intelligent leads (FL in EAW & ML in Stranger) and these leads have a certain condition that makes them lack in their interactions with others.
Both are also often looked down upon but ppl know that they’re undeniably good at their jobs.
-The biggest similarities for me was the fact that while both leads have difficulty understanding normal emotions they both want to live & help others
that have been wronged…they strive to do what’s right & at the same time try to learn the human emotions that comes with their cases.

While Argon's characters work in journalism and Stranger in a prosecutor's office, both feature a protagonist with a unique personality and leadership style (the latter being complained about by all). Both look at corruption that affects real lives, but I felt a similarity more in terms of the writing style and quality directing. Each episode is tightly plotted, with virtually no wasteful scenes.
Both focus on prosector leads who are aiming to take down corrupt people in power. The main lead (Hwan Shi Mok in Stranger & Jung Geum Ja in Hyena) have an unconventional approach to their cases and tend to rub people up the wrong way. [also in both shows their partners are the ones who understand them best]
