While I was watching Beyond Evil, it reminded me of Nobody Knows in the way the story unravels itself. Both are more slow-paced crime/mystery dramas. Both shows also revolve around one serial killer whose first case was over 20 years ago but who seemingly returned now. The leads who are investigating also have a personal reason as to why they are working on that specific case. Also, neither of the two shows have a romance subplot.
While they also have plenty of differences to make both of the shows very interesting, if you liked the pace and depth of the story of one of these shows, I think you might like the other as well.

it has a similar storyline of a boy who has ‘fallen’ off a rooftop. Both dramas want to find out the truth of the what seemed to be an innocent school boy.
For those non-romcom fanatics like me, these are the 2 crime/thriller Korean drama series I can highly suggest.
Both having the storyline of investigations and very interesting cases, I just got hooked on to these that easily.
So, if you are looking for more intensifying scenes and climaxes, these 2 are the best for you! :) I hope you'll have the same thought as mine after watching these.

Similarity:
1-Both of them have serial killings in the past.
2-Both dramas are about to find the serial killers.
3- Both the main characters are cold and show their affection to only their loved once.
Difference:
1- In Flower of evil, Do hyun soo has a family and in Nobody knows, Cha young jin considers ko eun ho her family.
(If I add point 2 it would be consider as a spoiler so I won't add it. However both of these dramas are amazing. they are MUST WATCH!!!)

Shadow Detective and Nobody Knows are brilliant, emotional crime thrillers. They are similar because both feature veteran, traumatized detectives fighting corrupt systems, a deep dive into guilt, and a focus on protecting vulnerable people.
In Shadow Detective, a mysterious blackmailer frames the veteran cop for murder and forces him to play a twisted game of re-investigating his own old cases. In Nobody Knows, the main detective spends decades hunting for a serial killer who murdered her best friend when she was young.
The main characters in both shows are heavily weighed down by the past. The detectives blame themselves for tragedies they couldn't stop and use their work as a way to atone for that guilt. While the shows are dark and deal with murder, they both share a heartwarming message about the importance of guidance. Both detectives team up with younger, pure-hearted allies (a young chief inspector in Shadow Detective, and a teacher and a teenage neighbor in Nobody Knows) to protect vulnerable youth from falling into a life of crime or tragedy.
Neither show just focuses on a serial killer; both explore deep institutional rot. The detectives in both dramas must fight against corrupt police officers, politicians, and rich elites who will do anything to hide their crimes.

based on Nobody Knows's premier it looks like the plot is surrounded around cults and it gives off the same vibes as Save Me.
Did you know that both works were directed by the same person! Hehehe. If you liked Inspector Koo's directing, then you're going to love the equally unique Nobody Knows. Another similarity between these two works is that they have a female detective/investigator as the main character. That's very rare to find, isn't it? There are many female detectives in dramas. But not as the main character. You know what I mean? Not the opposite main role or the main role as a partner of male detective. But the main character in their own work. They even have an assistant hehe. Enjoy it....
Both dramas are expertly crafted so that the investigation slowly unfurls throughout the series until all the pieces start falling perfectly into place, making them even more enjoyable on second watching as you notice the subtle clues you missed.
Both tackle social issues.
To me it feels like they have a similar atmosphere.
Both will glue you to your seat.
