On Lookout we have a prosecutor and a police officer, on Defendant a prosecutor as main characters. In both dramas one of the leads will have to leave their position (but for different reasons). They both are trying to seek for justice for their families, both of them lost a loved one. In both dramas they dont trust the police and the justice system. Also shows a lot of corrupted politicians.

- another Jisung masterpiece
- searching who is the real killer and evidence (in Adamas - they're searching the evidence in Haesong (a powerful company behind elections), in Defendant - searching for evidence that might lead to the powerful cha minho and for framing up the character of Jisung )
- Slowburn mystery, thriller

The innocent in the jail but the real culprit or the murderer is free. The terrible justice system inprison many innocent

Falsely accused MCs, prison (lots of prisons), defective judicial systems, police/prosecutors fabricating or neglecting evidence. And good actors. "Defendant" is a lot more melodramatic, I expect "One Ordinary Day" to try and keep it more together, for the sake of being more noir.

A falling prosecutor, being framed. Struggling fighting for justice. Seeking the truth. Criminal justice. Trust and mistrust

Both have children involved as the big part of the plot. In the Defendant the father had to listen so the child doesn't get killed the same in Wanted where the mother has to listen to kidnapper for the sake of her child safety. Both shows have this ability to make you feel as a big part of it, like you're experiencing everything together, once you start it is hard to stop. Both focuses on justice and crimes.

Two drama has similar plot lines
the male lead getting into a trap and get prison time for something he didn't do
trying to escape and prove his innocence is the goal in both dramas

Both male leads are framed for murder and they try to find out who really did it.
Both male leads are prosecutors.
A Violent Prosecutor is more light hearted than Defendant, but both are still a great watch.
