It has the same concept of having supernatural beings (ghosts and vampires) investigate crime and law-related activities.
THE GHOST DETECTIVE IS SIMILAR TO VAMPIRE DETECTIVE BECAUSE BOTH SHOWS ARE RELATED TO SUPERNATURAL POWERS AND THE FEMALE LEAD TO CONNECTED TO MALE LEAD BECAUSE THE DEATH OF HIS BROTHER.
As fellow OCN dramas, these shows share a considerable amount of similarities: (1) the beloved dark, gritty OCN ambiance, (2) tortured male leads with cryptic pasts, (3) an overarching mystery that is slowly unraveled within the story line composed of numerous smaller cases, (4) quick, brutal violence that is generally mob vs 1, (5) growth of the camaraderie between unlikely partners, and (6) I'm sure many other similarities that will be revealed as the season continues!
Vampire Detective is Vampire Prosecutor's dongsaeng. There are two seasons of Vampire Prosecutor that played on OCN. Everyone wants VP3, but that isn't going to happen. The vamp is a prosecutor who uses his abilities to help him solve crimes. There is a lot of bromance between him and the police detective on his team and a hint of romance with his junior prosecutor. In addition to the Crime of the Week, he's busy tracking down the big bad. It has a similar type of humor as Vampire Detective, but the prosecutor already knows he is a vamp, so you avoid the problems of self-discovery that Vampire Detective is showing (that is, there is a wanton lack of self-discovery so far!).
A second season of Vampire Prosecutor, recommend you start with the first. The vamp is a prosecutor who uses his vamp abilities to help him solve crimes. There is a lot of bromance between him and the police detective on his team and a hint of romance with his junior prosecutor. In addition to the Crime of the Week, he's busy tracking down the big bad. It has a similar type of humor as Vampire Detective.
i am surprised no one recommended Vampire Detective yet since the feels are so similar compared to other recommended dramas here. Yoon San and the vampire lady has the same energy as The K2 and his lady boss. in fact whenever Lee Joon fights off the bad guys, his action skills really reminds me of Ji Chang Wook. Lee Joon is such a hugely underrated action star!
It follows the trouble-filled daily life of a mysterious and strikingly beautiful vampire novelist who assists the police in criminal investigations, and a rookie editor who finds himself at the mercy of a non-human existence.
Zen Misaki is a wildly popular bestselling author whose true identity is, unexpectedly, that of a vampire. Using supernatural abilities unique to his inhuman nature, such as nensha (the power to read a person’s memories from their blood), mind reading, and hypnosis, along with his sharp deductive skills, Misaki stylishly solves difficult cases that have left the police at a dead end.
Having long since abandoned his life as a human, Misaki begins the story having lost his sense of purpose, lacking the passion to write new novels and harboring a cynical, world-weary outlook. However, through his interactions with a young editor and an up-and-coming detective, and by solving case after case, he gradually rediscovers his capacity for love, friendship, and the very emotions that make him human.

Klaha and Cecil are set to get married. However, their wedding must be postponed because Klaha is summoned from England to Romania on business. Klaha goes to Transylvania and arrives at the Earl of Dracula's castle, where he is staying. The Earl seems welcoming, but Klaha has strange experiences while staying there. On his arrival, he notices a painting of the Earl's deceased wife, who looks very much like Cecil.
2 nights later, the Earl agrees to buy a house in England. That same night, after having a nightmare, Klaha wakes up to see a coffin leaving the grounds. While looking for the Earl, Klaha sees the painting again, but this time, the word "Cecil" is written under it. Too late does Klaha realise that the Earl is a vampire. He immediately leaves to try to catch up with him.
