Both dramas feature the characters lives being torn apart through a traumatic past and multiple killings. The main focus of both this dramas is on two characters, one a detective, and the other who is a psychopath. In both of these dramas, the psychopath and detective have a familial relationship.
While Duel is more suspense thriller, and IRY is more crime solving - what stood out for me was the heartbreaking bro-angst of two characters in both dramas. Without spoiling, you'll realise by the end of both dramas, which characters I might be referring to. If you drop either of the dramas too early, you won't find out :(
This drama is about a professor who has genius mind and a special crime detective police woman try to solve a chain of murder case. They both know eachother since they were little but for some reason professor lost part of memory . His father was the police psychology doctor. His father was appointed to take the truth out from the most dangerous psychopath of all time and the when detective was little her father was a prison guard for that psychopath. However that psyopath escape from prison through creating big scandal. That psychopath kidnapped that prison guard and after that he killed that psychological doctor and then disappeared, after long when they become adults they determined to catch that psychopath. Through the investigation they found this chain murder cases exactly like the murder cases happened in past then they identified that psychopath isn't dead. There are few people close these two. But the psycopath hiding as a their close friend. Who will be the psychopath? Will they catch him or will he kill them?
Contains the similar angst of two brothers separated for many years due to a traumatic event in the past, and eventually reuniting in the present with troubling choices made by one. MB includes a time travel element where the younger brother leaps forward in time and has some telepathic powers, but the focus of the drama is on uncovering the mystery of multiple murders going back to the key event in the past that separated the brothers. Not as psychological as Hello Monster but definitely closer than many of the recommended dramas. I enjoyed MB thoroughly and highly recommend as it presents the emotional drama and the police procedural/detective aspect very well.
Really hard to make a recommendation without spoilers...
Both:
-Have an in-depth mystery
-Focus on the mind/background of the serial murders and their influence
- Are mature and involve some deep thinking
- Touch the problem of being a child raised in an abusive/ 'murderer' family and get a bit in depth with it
- Can give you lifelong lessons if you listen carefully
- Do not use common and cheap drama moves, so its a bit refreshing
- Do not have a lot (to any) romance
