Both share the same general plot of a normal person getting involved with and having to fight against many dangerous people.

Both dramas feature protagonists, Jian and Gyeo Wool, with hidden lethal abilities and family secrets. Jian discovers the apparent suicide death of her uncle and is pursued by assassins, while Gyeo Wool is an undercover assassin. Both face threats from dangerous organizations and unexpectedly collaborate with other characters to survive increasing violence and danger. The plot centers on the combination of special skills, family betrayals, chases and unexpected alliances.
The protagonists are similar, and if you watch both dramas you will feel a dejavu between them.

Full-on adrenaline rush. Non-stop action, good (or maybe not so good) guys against bad (definitely bad) guys. Both really entertaining.

Both have complex characters and big issues, like death, suicide, money, etc. Also, they are violent as well and have great actors.

It's not such a developed story because one deals with revenge and the other with an experimental program on human beings but I found that the action side had many similarities with the lead badass, I think that if you liked one you can appreciate the other

Both dramas are action dramas, the characters aren't too black and white, good guys lose at times and bad guys win at times, and then the action goes the other way around.

Great action sequences in both dramas, great acting, very good leads in both of them.

Also a very nice Thriller movie, with lots of action scenes. Has a interesting mentor mentee relationship plot as well.

Basically the same character. The ML owns a shop and lives a closed off life while dealing with a little girl, who he tries to protect. In both dramas the male leads are confronted with someone from their past that is out to hunt them, and all who are dear to them, down.

Both feature:
- young female leads who are trying to survive against enemies who are trying to kill them
-dark killer themes
-kick ass female action
-strong female empowerment

The stories are completely different, but the message/theme is somewhat similar
Recommended by Miss Romcom
The tone of the shows are similar. There are themes of violence, strong female characters and found family in both.

Jeong Jin Man is like Kim Myung Joon but smarter and Jian is like Choi Ro Hee. They share a similar dynamic as those 2 but more serious.
Recommended by pareo
Both are violent, action-packed shows that do not hold back from bloody fight scenes and death. There is a theme of revenge in both but in A Shop for Killers it’s a bit more complicated. Both MLs kill people.
