Aishite tatte, Himitsu wa Aru (2017)

They both have a very suspenseful and mysterious storyline, and the same kind of eerie atmosphere.

both dramas have a similar vibe when it comes to music, characters and the storytelling, both very intriguing and suspensful and you only find out the truth at the end

Urashima Eiji is a university student and his father is a serial murderer. One day, he realises that he is suffering from a dual personality disorder and worries that his other personality may have committed murder. This leads him to begin investigations to find out the truth.

The atmosphere these two dramas give off is too alike. Mystery. It keeps you guessing. Addictive, wanna watch next episode ASAP, and painfully bearable at times. They both have the same actor Kento Kaku. If there's a Japanese word for Makjang (Korean), let me know what it is called. I don't think this genre of dramas is an equivalence to the Makjang genre in Korean dramas. This is in some ways alike Makjang but is added another ingredient on top. This is a type of J-dramas that I haven't known its term yet. It is more realistic than makjang and is added a Japanese society into it. It has a Japanese flavour, duh!
I find Makjang cheap, but the J-drama ones are made better.

in both dramas the main charas are some kind of villain and the love story is pretty dark and both are masterpieces, Aishite tatte is full of twists I'd never expected and it comes with handsome male lead, Byakuyako is a lot darker overall and a lot more twisted, both are worth watching

Just the feeling is where the secret is being held within a family. Though not the same story, that intrigued sensation all along is priceless. Also, teaches valuable morals. I loved them both mystery scary thriller genre.

Both dramas have a character who undergoes a big trauma. Both have a dark, yet exciting story! (I highly recommend you watch them!) The protagonists end up in a similar state.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
