Both dramas are adapted by webtoons. Both Mls are young dark heroes who punish the criminals. Police is trying to catch them. Mls aslo cross the line of life and death.

Similarities: These two dramas are set in a place where justice seems to fail punishing criminals and both leads are taking action to punish these criminals, through unconventional way.

Difference: Vigilante is more like straight up action and hands on violence, and the lead is doing his job undercover, hidden from the society... there seems to be a mystery in public perspective of who is the real Vigilante.

The Devil Judge portrays this concept of "being bad to defeat the evil" through courtroom trials that are aired on TV, while giving the society agency to vote whether defendant is guilty or innocent. The head judge is like a celebrity and a distinguish figure in the drama. It has more a complex storyline of hate to love, past trauma and found family aspect.

They both have a thriller like background, and follow a concept of a vigilante punishing evil people/ revenge type story.

Just, if you liked one, I’m pretty sure you’ll like the other. They both have action (good looking blood - if u like that), good plot (gripping), and very nice acting.

they are giving the same vibes :
- both culprits are going after criminals and punishing them after the law let them go free
- both have detectives going after them to catch them no matter what
- both are motivated by the injustice they faced after losing a loved one and the criminal's acquittal

Both leads are cops, using that to cover their unlawful goals. Both seeking revenge and justice in their own style. Both darker themed shows.
Recommended by GingerWoods
both are under the same genre, where they fight against injustice in their own way—one with technology and the other with instinct.

Both are adapted from webtoons. ML in Vigilante doesn’t have powers but he’s maintaining a secret identity. I’m not entirely sure why but they just feel similar—maybe it’s the violent fight scenes.

The same male lead in both
same story about vigilante justice
same justified actions by the male lead
the vigilante was different in age for both but same story in so many ways
Recommended by Architectofnonsence
Both main characters kill people in the name of justice believing they are righteous, and are in a cat & mouse chase with detectives. Vigilante has more action but death note has more of the detective work.

Both have antihero, police officer male leads who punish criminals who escape the law. They deal with themes such as morality, justice, and the fallible legal system. Keibuho Daimajin is Japanese, while Vigilante is Korean. Also similar to the 2010 Japanese dorama Joker Yurusarezaru Sousakan.

The story is similar to vigilante. The character development is really good and you will love the character throughout the drama. Don't read the comment and just was the show.
