Both are medical dramas that have mystery elements in them. The main male and female leads both have a big age gap. The main character in both dramas have an incurable illness. The ethics and morality of being a doctor are questioned in both.

Both shows:
> Are set mostly in the hospital.
> Are melodramas.
> The leads are both doctors.
> The FLs are shown to struggle with a personal trauma that makes it hard for them to be a doctor.
> The MLs are smart, successful, and skillful.
> The FLs admire their superior and wish to learn from him. In DJ that superior is the ML, while in DR it's the 2ML.
> The Doctor in charge has been wrongfully accused at the start of the show. They are also both geniuses. They both have a "Dr. House" quality to them; with them being a bit impolite and eccentric in their actions.

There are secrets revealed. Both male leads are doctors with talent. They are both a little angsty. There are people that dislike the male lead.

Both dramas are about doctors, and saving people. Doctor John is about a man named Cha Yo han (John) who was sent to prison for a punishment. One of the guards niece (Kang Shi-young) is used to be a doctor who came to the prison because the former prison doctor had quit. After John gets releases, he becomes a professor at the hospital where Shi-young works and also the hospital where her father is laying down trying to recover from a former hiking accident. Doctor Yohan is an extremely talented doctor who can figure out what is wrong with the patient within seconds. As Kang Shi-Young and Cha Yo-han are both talented, they are also trying to move on from their dark past.

- Both have a student/teacher relationship
- Both are medical dramas
- Doctors is more focused on the romance element and the developed of the characters from high school to work whilst Doctor John is more about the medical aspect and euthanasia with the romance as a background.

Both dramas make us understand the morality behind the doctor's occupation. Although it is different with respect to curing the patient and stopping the patient's suffering. Both leads try for the best interest of the patient and have strong individual belief and character.

Cross has a revenge theme, but it mostly revolved around medial practice, and just delightful to watch.

-Both medical dramas
*Doctor John is much more medical focused though
-Female lead is there to help male lead through tough times
*Can't say much so as to not spoil
-Just a similar vibe between both dramas
*Especially with the music
In general both are really good dramas and I would 10000% recommend you give them a shot
