Bad Guys (2014)

Both are dark and gritty dramas with a similar feel to them. They both have unconventional protagonists who are criminals/involved in the underground criminal world and deal with organized crime, are filled with action, and contain interesting plot twists throughout the series.

Dark dramas for adults.
Crimes.
Mysteries.
'Love me...' focuse on romance also.

Both feature sexy psychopaths. Bad Guys has Park Hae Jin. I Remember You has Park Bo Gum. While there is a romance subplot in IRY, in my opinion, there was zero chemistry. The real draw for both dramas is the bromance, the team comraderie in BG is great. And, the real chemistry in IRY is between Seo In Guk and Park Bo Gum. Highly recommend both.

They're similar in the sense that they both are about teams of criminals and cops out to solve crimes and they're both OCN shows.

both in bad guys and beautiful mind we have a "psychopath" as a main character. in both dramas the main character struggles to understand the people around him. also they are both pretty dark.

Both are quite dark featuring prison, gangsters, violence and death. They both also contain a surprising plot twist and ending. I personally believe that someone who liked Bad Guys will also like The Merciless.

If you like suspense then watch Liar Game! In both dramas there is a psychopath and it keeps you on the edge all the time

the plots aren't anything alike, but they're both exciting dramas. both quench the in-the-mood-for-a-crime-thriller-drama thirst.

Crime shows that have a insane male lead who’s an older detective with a bad past. In both there’s also a younger main character with a huge sense of justice. The team/partnership aspect of both dramas is very well laid out in their stories as well.

It's season 1 of Bad Guys so it's definitely bound to be extremely similar. Different cast. Same plot line, bad guys taking down other bad guys.

As fellow OCN dramas, these shows share a considerable amount of similarities: (1) the beloved dark, gritty OCN ambiance, (2) tortured male leads with cryptic pasts, (3) an overarching mystery that is slowly unraveled within the story line composed of numerous smaller cases, (4) quick, brutal violence that is generally mob vs 1, (5) growth of the camaraderie between unlikely partners, and (6) I'm sure many other similarities that will be revealed as the season continues!

you really want to know if the ends justify the means. both dramas have people doing good and bad things for a variety of reasons and you really don't know who to root for but you hope that good triumphs. Or whatever passes for good in this world.

If you're much in the action, thriller or crime dramas try these two! They're also involving prosecutors, detectives, fugitives, killers, guys who get punished for something they didn't do, ...

A less-than-human-becoming-human journey.

One of main characters in both movie and drama is a very similar dark (scary, but also kinda... cute?) psycho with some deep issues and history of psychological (mis)treatment. Both stories show us a lot of violence and you can't really figure out the psycho character till the very end.

Difference between these two is mostly that Bad Guys is a drama and not a movie (so not as short and has more story parts intertwined) and has other significant and complicated characters aside from the psycho.
