Both dramas follow the same plot of a team of “professionals” (e.g hacker, con artist) who worked together to bring the villains down.
Fabricated city has a much more serious tone than Leverage which is more humorous.
But I really recommend leverage if you like a team following plot with action

Ji Chang Wook is the main lead in both the show and movie.
Although it does not follow the same plot of an undercover agent, and instead a gamer framed for murder, it is similar to Healer's 'teamwork' of allies working together to find the truth (including a hacker)
However, fabricated city has a much more serious tone than Healer in terms of action, and a warning of quite gruesome and emotional scenes.
But if your looking for more Ji Chang Wook content or something action packed with good fighting and car chasing scenes i recommend fabricated city.
But if you still want that romantic vibe of a classic kdrama then Healer is the one.

This is a movie which is similar to Big Mouth with the concept of the main lead falsely getting accused of crimes he didn't commit. Both main leads manage to survive in prison by fighting back and although we don't know how Big Mouth will end as of this moment Fabricated City brings justice to those wronged and punishes the antagonist. Definitely recommend and since it's a movie it's not too long, the fight scenes in the movie are also top tier.

- both have badass teams and male lead
- both have hackers
- a game of push and pull between villain
- fabricated city is way more intense but both have action
- comedic elements (swindlers has more comedy)

The premise of both movies are different but Derailed is just as much of a dark thriller with a total eye candy male lead. But it's definitely darker on the whole.

Both are blood pressure raising, convoluted thrillers. But For The Emperor has nudity and way more darkness and adult themes.

I know more eye candy leads lmao Siwan's character is not as innocent as Ji Chang-wook's but The Merciless is never ending thrill with characters you'll hate yourself for falling in love with.

A non-stop rollercoaster of events and action that keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. The start is a bit slow but will have been more than worth it by the time you arrive at the end.

In both a group of emarginated people try to stop the bad guys while operating outside the law, add a sprinkle of action et voilà.

Again, falsely accused MCs, prison life (TW for rape in the movie, for OOD is still too soon to know what's in stall for the people implicated), deficient judicial system.

Differences (so far, the drama is only in the first quarter): FC is a lot more action-oriented and involves escape.

Same pace of action, good acting and a fine film about the dangers of tabloid and digital rumor-spreading. Nice entertainment and concept was catching. Both movie is thrilling.
Recommended by LollyLilly
Both have similar exciting and full of action movie . Main characters suddenly caught up in the crime. The storyline between the mother/father and the son is strong and balances the crazyness. Both were an entertaining movie to watch with family.

Both movie and drama are written by the same writer and certainly has the same atmosphere. While Fabricated City tells a story about how the main character was falsely convicted of a crime that he didn't do, the plot afterwards was quite similar in which the main character formed a group and tried to punish the real culprit as a vigilante act. The movie also had a great fight choreography and car action as well as SFX and can give you a brief glimpse of what Taxi Driver has in store.

Both movie and drama gave a lot of emphasis on how 'one false conviction is worse than losing 10 or 100 criminals/true convictions'.
