Fierce detective Jin Ho Gae is all about catching low-lifes. He solves cases with his excellent ability to grasp crime scenes, read a criminal's mind, and has a strong will to win. While the fearless firefighter Bong Do Jin, who seems cold on the outside, is nice to those around him, and he takes good care of victims. He rushes to fire sites without a moment of hesitation. Joining the duo is Song Seol, an empathetic paramedic who heals broken hearts while treating wounds.

The important characters in both of those dramas are the firefighters. The plots are the way they try to save life. So I think if someone like this drama, they can like the other.

A devastating earthquake has occurred in Xichuan. Lawyer Luo Ben has gone to the disaster-stricken area to look for his younger and mute sister Luo Yuan. It's there that he comes into contact with the Light Chaser Rescue unit under the leadership of Captain Qing Shan and with his sister's new friend Xiong Fei, an integral part of the unit. Luo Ben also encounters Zhan Yan whom he met previously in less then ideal circumstances. However, he soon changes his mind about her as he comes to admire her selflessness and brilliance as a doctor.

Luo Ben bears witness to the people's sense of camaraderie in the face of adversity and becomes deeply inspired by the volunteer efforts. Luo Ben along with Zhou Min Ming and Ding Ding Ding join as the new recruits to the team. They survive Captain Qing Shan's "training from hell" and put their lives on the line in every rescue and disaster relief operation that pits them against earthquakes, fires, floods and typhoons. At the end of the day, though they finally grow into an elite rescue unit, will love find them in the most inhospitable of situations?

- both have similar layouts in episodes
- one case per episode (usually one maybe follow up in the 2nd episode)
- There is a main plot/villain which is underlying in both
- Both work with emergency services (PFJ works with the NFS, prosecution and the police and TFR s2 works with firefighters, NFS and the police)
- Both have episode titles in codes/alerts referring to the situation in the episode(s)
- both on streaming platforms --> TFR - Disney+ and PFJ - Netflix
- Both are follow-ups of the first seasons of their shows.
- More romance in TFR than PFJ (slight romance)
- one of the leads in each show have powerful family backgrounds (PFJ - FL is the daughter of a chairman of a main company and TFR - ML is the son of the chief of prosecution and both leads went into their profession(s) rebelliously (against family will).

Some scenes in First Responder reminded me of Doctor Prisoner where it's about how prisoner tries to get out of prison using various methods.
