Black Out (2024)

A man is kidnapped and one of his eyes removed by a gang of organ hunters; his eyes was transplanted into body of a serial killer; the unwilling donor now has terrible visions as he witnesses terrifying attacks on the residents of Seoul.

A murder case, like no other, stumbles onto Jin Jung's desk. As he starts to investigate it, he finds something peculiar about it. Defying all boundaries as a prosecutor, he pushes forward with the case. However, public outrage and pressure from the higher-ups bring it to an abrupt stop.

Han Yi-Han works as a lawyer, specializing in medical litigation. He also tries to uncover the truth behind the death of his former patient.

A crime drama about the psychological games between a detective with a strong sense of justice but tormented by the crimes he solves.

Both:
- good murder mystery going on
- main characters working together to solve a serial murder
- Lee Kyu Hoe, this actor is really good, he's good in Link: Eat, Love, Kill too

Blending body-swap fantasy, workplace drama, romantic comedy and serial killer thriller into one prime-time package, the K-drama Miss Night and Day has a little something for everyone.
The serial killer and the killings will leave you guessing till the end.

Jin Ki Joo is a young policewoman who can see ghosts – and must enlist medium and magician Park Hae Jin to help her fight crime!

Detective Park Gwang-Ho travels forward in time when he enters an eerie tunnel to catch a serial killer. He quickly learns that the culprit has begun hunting for new victims in the new period.

The suspense thriller The Frog follows two men at the mercy of a ruthless killer — or killers — and an ace detective's pursuit of justice.

After unfortunate events in his life, Yi Je being one of Seoul's most exalted physicians, turns into a prison doctor who finds hereditary diseases that send the innocent and guilty away from death row and confinement. His goal of finding justice for bereaved families is all he's after, so he works around his excellence as a medical doctor to get around the law. With his prescriptions, he turns himself as the god above the law.

Both leads end up being convicted as a murderer in prison. Both have people from their past that fight for them. Both, although different, give a very similar vibe off. The only difference is that while "Black Out" seems to follow the story of the male lead being wrongly accused of murder, "Prison Playbook" is with him truly being the murderer.

When a member of a clergy winds up dead, a temperamental priest and a detective team up to solve the case.

There are gonna be shows that are similar plot-wise but VIBE wise this is what this reminds me of. Extremely suspenseful shows with great casting and captivating mysteries. I'd label them "classics" in the kdrama thriller genre. If you enjoy titles like: "Save Me", "Memories of Murder", shoot- even "True Detective Season 1", and dislike shows that drag, have classic kdrama unrealism, or treat their audience like idiots. YOU WILL LOVE THIS SHOW.
