Both MC travel back to the past to live a new life. Reborn Rich ending would be better if it's the same as Life on Mars.

Almost the same story and the only difference is that the lead gets stuck in future(present day).
If you liked tunnel I’m sure you’re gonna like this one too.

Basically while everything is different, it's about the exact same story. A very lonely boy/man who search to escape his reality. And they have the same ending.

A police team you'll care about.

Although set in different eras, with Live focusing more on the day-to-day and Life on Mars following a mystery plot, these shows are both good in building the relationships between colleagues, and making the fate of these characters matter to you.

Well... one thing similar is that is a historical dramas. In "Life on Mars" the action takes place in 1988 "Chief Detective" the action will take place a little earlier in 1958.
It will take you to those times that seems close yet so far. As someone who was born in 1999 I wanted to see the world before me. These dramas are perfect way to send you back visually and emotionally.
If you want you can watch the original version of "Life on Mars"

The male lead (police) in Life on Mars also gets transported back to the past (1988) to solve a serial murder case.

I immediately thought of this when I read the description. You will not be disappointed with life on Mars.

In both dramas main lead travel back in time( the duration of time travel differs) and now they must survive in a different time line which is unfamiliar and has different rules
Recommended by ninidolphin
MC is given a second chance at life in a setting that's different / can be changed. MC is a part of the legal system (police officer/prosecutor) and knows more about the world he's moved to than the rest of the people around him.

Very good main leads, in both cases.
