(and also Seasons 2 and 3 of this same series); DR follows a highly skilled and reserved doctor with miraculous abilities and a bad temper, and his different students throughout the seasons who grow as doctors and as humans as the episodes progress.
While DR is a hard-core medical drama with very little focus on other developments, it is very similar in its approach to the medical ethics and the patients as side-characters. Both dramas deal with central characters that are doctors and nurses, and who in turn deal with an array of patients with different conditions belonging to their offbeat and remote corner of South Korea.
If you are more inclined towards the medicine side of Doctor on the Edge, DR might be up your ally.

friendly neighbourhood medical shenanigans, a Seoul-based cold and practical doctor, a big-hearted island girl/guy next door, island setting, the doctor who sticks to their morals and proves to be skilled despite being materialistic and grows to love the small town.
The central difference is that FOE has a husband-wife dynamic, and Doubt has a Single Father-Daughter dynamic. Both have loved ones dig into their past for duty and the truth, fracturing the close bond that they once had. Both dramas uncover layers of trust, love, family, duty, trauma, truth and the Past. If you want to watch a complex and detailed drama where these themes are explored in a case the detective had to chase their loved one - this is perfect.
Genuinely so similar (as of now) for me to confuse the two. The FL is a fish out of time, accidentally encounters the rich and cold ML who ultimately becomes her only anchor in a suddenly-new and modern world. Park's Marriage Contract's main trope is marriage-of-convenience, and we are yet to see MRN's main trope. But both have Joseon-era women somehow deal with modern-day Korea.
Boss lady FL with a sweet and observant ML. Both are office dramas, where the FL is the senior and ML is her direct junior (in LS he's her secretary, in FFL he's her junior). Though LS has a more mature and grounded setting since ML has a daughter, but overall if you're into corporate office-set stories with a strong and restrained FL, with lowkey comedy elements - this is definitely for you.
Both follow multiple individual storylines. And are centered around afterlife and grim reapers. Think of Judge From Hell as Koo Ryeon's past work of collecting criminals and sending them to hell. Strong undead FL, sweet alive ML (the MLs also look a bit alike lol)
