There is a lot of similarities between this two shows. The pace, evil characters, and even the leads. The female leads are strong and resilient but more so in TSOML and not Nyonya but there were still strong moments.

AOL is a lot better plot-wise and acting but this is basically similar. There is a sweet and happy period then things go to hell. The Ml also end up killing each other then bringing each other back to life.

I immediately thought of this when I read the description. You will not be disappointed with life on Mars.

Same Male lead
Fighting corruption
Office politics
Honestly, any drama ranking 8 and above with this male lead is gold so I would suggest just clicking on his name and watching the dramas with him.

Same Male Lead
Similar themes
Fighting corruption, etc.
HSL is sports centered
DP is medical/prison centered

Like until we meet again, this portrays a beautifully written plot that has ever been represented in BL dramas. The MC also had chemistry that was flying off the screen. Until we meet again is melancholy and MODC isn't sad until the end. Both are sweet and fluffy and feel good shows. Worth watching both.

-The same protagonist
-Funny moments ( more so in Chief Kim)
-He plays a much lighter role in Chief Kim, but if you loved him in Doctor Prisoner, you will love him here to

The protagonist is a prosecutor in Stranger, but if you liked a smart lead, and the fact that the bad guys didn't have long periods of victory, Stranger would be worth checking out.

Wierd Boyfriend/Girlfriend
Boyfriend/Girlfriend has super powers
Both the FL's in this shows are bubbly

Haechi is also about one of the greatest King in history like The Great King Sejong. However, the later is a very detailed and sometimes boring recount of Sejongs childhood to when he became King as well as his accomplishments. I liked it because it was a truthful recount. Haechi is about Yeongjo childhood to when he became King, it doesn't delve into much detail on what he accomplished and thus this drama was more dramatic and entertaining.

This is the parent story of this drama. Watching Dong Yi first will make you understand the plot of Haechi a little better. Haechi was still good on its own though and the plot was definitely different from Dong Yi.
