Hyena (2020)

Both dramas center around career women who are in it to win, frequently to the detriment of their own reputation. Seen as too aggressive both FL brush up against colleagues. Where Hyena has the ML as a colleague/rival, BTD’s ML is the FL’s project (and product) as she launches him into show biz.

Both dramas have strong FL’s that are intensely career driven and can drive their colleagues insane with their lack of sensitivity. In both dramas, the ML is a more romantic type who happens to be a colleague at work. Both are noona romances as well.

Both feature string, Career driven FL’s with darks pasts. These girls have both survived poverty and violence and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to become hard hitting lawyers, although that’s less apparent in IHYV till later. They both meet badass (but still softies on the insides) ML’s who are completely smitten from the get go. Hyena doesn’t have the supernatural element that IHYV does, but it does have some kickass court cases that are much more plausible. If you like court dramas, both of these are good fits, though Hyena is more exhilarating and less tear your hair out, IMO.

there are a lot of similar themes in these two dramas - Politics, shady law officials, corruption, scandals, murders, violence and cover ups, not to mention wonder women FL’s. These dramas have similar vibes, if not vastly different story lines.

The good wife is based off the American drama of the same name. Both dramas are law/lawyer centric and have lots of juicy court cases. Both the ML and FL are highly competent lawyers. Hyena is more about the ruthlessness of the characters who are in the messy position of being both enemies and lovers, whereas the good wife’s central theme is the affair and the fallout of the FL and her politician husband, and the college friend waiting in the wings.
.

The shows are quite different, but they do touch upon various similar themes:
> The Female Leads are ambitious and persistent. They don't only dream big, but they show they have the skills to ground those dreams and make them a reality. They are also undervalued by others and judged harshly for their backgrounds, but they show they don't care what others think as they walk to the sound of their own drums.
> The Male Leads are shown to be good at what they do, but they lack the tooth to make it big on their own, which is where the FL comes in. They end up trusting and almost following the Female Lead as they go forward.
> They both culminate in becoming partners in their own company.
> The relationship between the leads also begins with a lie. In Hyena, the FL lies to the ML and pretends to be someone she's not. Whereas in Start Up, the ML lies to the FL and pretends to be someone he's not.
> There are more than two strong female leads within the show who are strong, independent and actively involved in the plot.

i watched Hyena first before watching Suits and i immediately had the feel that both dramas give away similar vibes. they are both sophisticated and has a lot of sass, with extremely charismatic lead characters who can also be a bit gangster-ish.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

Both have a feisty lawyer character, from a poor background, both wanting to hit it big.
Both are law dramas with good comedy & melodrama.

Both focus on prosector leads who are aiming to take down corrupt people in power. The main lead (Hwan Shi Mok in Stranger & Jung Geum Ja in Hyena) have an unconventional approach to their cases and tend to rub people up the wrong way. [also in both shows their partners are the ones who understand them best]
