Doctor John (2019)

Main lead find out disease in sec without any test by analyzing symptoms
main lead has failed past
main lead confident about their treatment theory on patients that'swhy they don't listen anyone only follow their instincts

While Doctor John is more serious, I think these two dramas have a similar tone. The romance is similar, and both are sweet and heartwarming dramas about the medical world.

Both male main characters have an illness that makes it difficult to be a doctor but both pursue to be doctors and do their best despite their weaknesses.
Both dramas have romance between doctors and residents. It's not the main focus of either story.
Medical mysteries do not overwhelm the story with things to do so that there is no more room for character development. Characters build a strong relationship with each other and with themselves.

Both "Doctor John" and "Partners for Justice" are Korean dramas, but they explore different genres and narratives despite sharing some potential connections. Here's a breakdown of their similarities and differences:

Similarities:

Focus on justice: Both dramas touch upon themes of seeking justice, albeit in different ways. "Doctor John" explores uncovering medical malpractice and fighting for patients' rights. "Partners for Justice" focuses on legal investigations and bringing criminals to justice.
Morally ambiguous characters: Both feature characters who sometimes operate in ethical gray areas to achieve their goals. "Doctor John" has the titular doctor who bends rules to help patients, while "Partners for Justice" might display prosecutors resorting to unconventional methods.
Strong female leads: Both dramas feature capable and determined female characters who fight for what they believe in. In "Doctor John," the female lead assists the doctor in uncovering the truth. In "Partners for Justice," the female lead is a prosecutor herself.
Suspenseful elements: Both dramas incorporate elements of suspense and mystery, keeping viewers engaged with the unfolding stories.
Differences:

Genre: "Doctor John" primarily belongs to the medical drama genre with thriller elements, while "Partners for Justice" falls under the legal drama and crime thriller genre.
Focus: "Doctor John" concentrates on the medical field and uncovering healthcare-related wrongdoings. "Partners for Justice" primarily explores legal investigations and the criminal justice system.
Overall tone: "Doctor John" adopts a more somber and emotional tone, tackling ethical dilemmas and medical issues. "Partners for Justice" leans towards a suspenseful and action-oriented tone, focusing on solving crimes and legal battles.
Character dynamics: "Doctor John" primarily revolves around the relationship between the doctor and his assistants, with the romance subplot playing a significant role. "Partners for Justice" focuses on the partnership between the prosecutor and the forensic investigator, with less emphasis on romance.
In summary:

If you enjoy suspenseful dramas with morally ambiguous characters and themes of fighting for justice, both "Doctor John" and "Partners for Justice" might be worth exploring.
However, if you prefer medical dramas with deeper emotional themes, "Doctor John" might be a better choice.
Alternatively, if you're drawn to legal dramas with crime investigation elements, "Partners for Justice" could be more appealing.

-Both the dramas have same theme
-Both of them have family issues and how they solve them
my opinion is that Doctor John is a much better on then hospital playlist cause in each episode of doctor john i laughed, i cried, i was serious and i enjoyed it to fullest(this is only a opinion that can differ to person to person)

LMIYD isn't medical but I think they are similar in the fact that the male leads are very talented in what they do. In Doctor John the male lead is a talented doctor who was wronged in the past. In LMIYD the male lead is a skilled criminal phycologist, he is well known and one of the best in his field. Similarly to in Doctor John, people find him suspicious at first and think he's a bad person, but with the help of the female lead (that they slowly fall in love with), they are accepted and people realise their skill in their field. The female leads also become able to accept their tragic pasts, whilst falling deeply in love with the troubled male lead.

I highly recommend both dramas. They are both very similar, just one is based on medical situations and the other, criminal situations :)

- medical dramas
- ml in dr john treated prisoners, ml in yongpal treated gangsters
- rich female leads
- ml in both dramas help fl heal
- equally good

There is this subtle romance between the two main leads that makes me think of both the dramas. Also, the melancholy of the story which that subtle romance springs to life.

Definitely a slow burn on both ends but the connection between the leads is undeniable.

Both are romantic medical dramas dealing with comforting people in pain and during the end stages of their lives. In both dramas, the male and female leads have experienced life-altering tragic events, which they feel guilt-ridden about. Both male leads have a nemesis who is hell-bent on destroying them do to misplaced anger and beliefs.

• Same screenwriter
• Both male leads are hiding an illness that impacts their lives significantly
• Both male leads are perceived as cold
• Emphasis on tragic pasts for male and female leads
• Family drama, but not too much
