Both have similar vibes with the storyline of Ji Sung is trying to find justice for his lost lover/wife. Both are fantastic and if you like one you would like the other.

Remember-War of the Son put emphasis on a lawyer proofing his father's innocence. Defendant revolves around a prosecutor proofing his own innocence. The father and prosecutor both suffers from memory loss, which makes it harder to prove they are not guilty. The antagonists in both stories are rather similar, they are both sons of rich families who are violent and selfish.

Both dramas have law and politics as main plot. Defendant is more drama because the case itself involved the prosecutor life; in Stranger, the prosecutor's family is not involved on the case, his life is not the main plot.
Both have a reliable and strong female lead. In Defendant is the lawyer and in Stranger is the Lieutenant.

These two have a lot in common: prosecutor/detective dramas w/ similar pacing, depth of plot, mystery, etc. One of the notable differences is that Stranger is about finding and catching the killer, while Defendant makes fairly clear who the villain is from early on (and thus can take time to develop a compelling villain character), but they have the same air of ruthless mystery and compelling characters that will make you want to binge the whole series in 2 days.

Mystery, Thriller, PLOT! A must watch if you are a fan of mystery/thriller genre. The main leads chemistry is off the charts, and story fits well with the environment.

Ji Sung in Defendant and Joon Gi in Two Weeks are both fugitives on the run, and they both are dads with a little girl. Both are amazing stories with a similar feel of dark mystery, action, and suspense.
Recommended by Eunha
Both dramas include lawyers who solve a crime that is close to home. In Defendant the victims were his wife and daughter whilst in Whisper the assailant is his new bride and her lover (so he his less inclined at the beginning to solve it). In both dramas they have a female helping them solve the crime. Both have similar feeling to them as well.

Both have male protagonists that are famous prosecutors who end up in prison. Both have top notch acting, intricate stories about crime, power, jealousy and revenge. The cast is amazing in both dramas.
Recommended by Geanina
Both the dramas are about falsely accused lead.
Much story Happens in prison.

Though the defendant is much much longer one and main plot is focused about the lead. And Joshu seven is slightly different as all the 7 prisoners back story is told.
