Going by the plot of the 2 dramas, they are not similar, but when I was watching Flower of Evil, I kept thinking how similar it is to Confession.. Later I found out that they have the same director and no wonder I felt that way.. Both are crime/suspense/thrillers but Flower of Evil has elements that can make you cry and it has romance as well.. Confession on the other hand does not have a romantic plot.. But both are very interesting to watch
A psychological drama about unhealthy interpersonal relationships explained often through elaborate flashbacks.

While maintaining the façade of friendship, Mayuko finalizes the revenge she’s been secretly plotting for decades.
well, so many people have given out recommendations and i am surprised that no one is yet to recommend Voice season 2 and 3 when the male lead character there is so similar to the one in Flower of Evil. in fact Voice series are OCN dramas so they are meant to be a lot darker and with less emphasis on romance which could be a plus for a genre like this. there is a good reason why the Voice series keep getting season's extension, you gotta watch it to know. enjoy!
Both dramas are dark thriller/mysteries in which the main characters are a couple and their young daughter and (one of) the SML(s) is a newspaper reporter. Both dramas have a lot of misdirection/red-herring which keep you guessing what's happening/who the villain is, and both have common plot elements of a killer in a raincoat, a car accident, and amnesia.
