- there is a political conspiracy in both drama
- there are lot of violent death
- it's more thriller and romance

If you are a big fan of Agatha Christie books this kdrama was heavily influenced for the making of the revenge plot.

What is justified when it comes to justice? Both dramas thematize this question. Both have criminals and the question of how far the legal system should go in order to punish them. Both demonstrate good and evil, morals and fairness. Both main characters go controversial ways and make you question your own standpoint on how far one can go for it to be too far.

Both have similar genres ( Mystery, Law, Crime, Drama etc.)

Power struggles to rule over Daehan Minguk (South Korea) presenting the main issue in both the dramas, the main in CoS is driven by ambition while those in TDJ are driven by revenge and righteousness. The push and pull tactics of politics, money and power trips are exhilaratingly displayed in both the masterpieces.

Darkness and emotional investment. Both stories have protagonists fighting against the injustice while morality of the methods used are in the gray area. Both series have a strong sense of comraderie/bromance where the guys take care and protect each other.

Both are bromance investigation genre but one is dystopian world and other is wuxia setting. both have the perfect chemistry between male leads.

Smae dremaa have lot of evill character especially womans but devil judge bromance and little woman sisters relationship

A slight dystopian angle - FL in Sisyphus if from the future whilst The Devil Judge sets in alternate version of South Korea. Both shows are gritty and "going against a system".
