Both are short and deal with some pretty heavy issues while still keeping a side of humour. Both let people be complex and give the feel of loss. Besides suicide the issues they deal with are however different but they do give out the same vibe.

MC has similar character growth, both shows talk a lot about bullying and have tragic ending. Both have bromance between main character and his best friend who joked that they might be a married couple in previous life. Both have graphic violence, it's just that one is in military and one in high school (D.P. is more graphic). Both dramas have Hong kyung & Shin Seung Ho. Even the opening feels very similar.

pretty much a continuation from Season 1 ..... deals with much the same issues plaguing the military now

Though D.P. only has 6 episodes, it digs deep in to some pretty big issues in a similar way. The plot reminded me allot of Captain Yoos side story in Prison Play Book. though there are some similarities between Captain Yoo and Jun Ho their placement and roles are very different. But if you liked Captain Yoos story in Prison Playbook you will probably like D.P. (It also has the same actor)

Booth series contains action and fight scenes, friendship and struggles, but the main reason I believe you might enjoy Bloodhounds if you liked D.P., is because they both contains some underlying more serious topics as well.

Both films show a soldier in the South Korean army who is harrassed and abused (mentally and sexually) by his superior. Both films also feature the actor Son Seok Koo.

An entirely different story/plot has similar thrill and suspense vibes. Both are quite comedic and quite psychological themes.
Recommended by purevanila
Both deal with extreme cases of bullying that lead to tragic outcomes.

The main lead also has to confront his own demons.

They are both dark and have a shocking touch of reality.
Recommended by PHope
Bullying, hazing, sexual assault, and other abuses in the military lead to deadly consequences for a service member.

Bonus: Both feature Son Seok Koo in a supporting role as an army officer.

Dark webtoon adaptations. They both show the mental toll the army bullying culture exerts on otherwise sane individuals. The descent into madness plays out differently in both.

Both D.P. (2021) and The Unforgiven (2005) deal with the same issues about bullying and abuses in military.
Recommended by pinesilver
both focus on soldiers defecting
both star Koo Kyo-Hwan
i think Koo Kyo-Hwan’s characters in both are kind of similar in the sense that they both have a dark sense of humour .

both are quite different in terms of story, but they both have very similar atmospheres. they're both extremely dark and gritty with a focus on bullying and violence. i'd also say they both make you feel quite heartbroken and empty by the end.

Both of these dramas have:
- cop/military duo
- training/bootcamp setting
- great comedic relief (especially Midnight Runners)
- centered around serious, heavy topics
- plenty of action
- a bit of mystery
