I have only one thing to say: Doctor Prisoner is a major upgrade to Defendant in every step of the way for revenge thriller genre. Enjoy the watch!

Both dramas deal about prosecutors, family murder and in both dramas the main leads try to find out what truly happened that lead them to be in the current situation.

Both are crime thrillers set in a law drama setting. As for the main leads, the ML in Defendant undergoes a more tragic life event involving himself, while in Confession the tragedy involves his father. Both are exceptionally well-written shows that really must be watched by fans of crime/law dramas. Confession, in particular, is very underrated and deserves more love!
