Both shows:
1. Are satires. Meaning that over the top humor is used to showcase real problem in society.
2. Both feel lighthearted despite boasting complex characters who face difficult problems, decisions and consequences.
3. Characters are always held accountable for their actions.
4. FL are grow with each episode and are always actively involved in the narrative. They are charismatic, eccentric, smart, capable and strong.
5. ML are smart, successful but oblivious characters. They are mean, not because they are jerks, but because they are blunt. They hide a gentle heart behind a wall of arrogance.
6. 2ML from Legal High is much more complex and has a role outside of pining for the FL.
7. The support characters from Legal High are more varied than the ones from FGTD. But both shows have, overall, good support characters.
8. The leads bicker a lot at first but soon start finding common ground, creating a balanced and healthy partnership.
9. Antagonists come across as cartoony and are hard to take seriously. But, in the end, the flaws in the system are the real antagonists.
10. Someone wants to bring down the ML.
11. Leads work together.
12. The humor relies on the absurd.

Original Japanese 2012 version where two the main characters: Kensuke Komikado (Masato Sakai), an arrogant but shrewd lawyer who has never lost a lawsuit, and Machiko Mayuzumi (Yui Aragaki), an rookie lawyer who wants to help the poor but who is tired of losing so she joins komikado's firm.

Both shows are heavy in comedy to cover up boring political stuff, which makes both of them very fun to watch. Both of these shows also focuses on helping others. Although Legal High does not have romance in it, the leads' chemistry is BOMB, just like Into the Ring. Acting is also very amazing! If you watched Park Sung Hoon in Psychopath Diary, then you could see how good he portrayed his character in Into the Ring. On the other hand, Jin Goo will really blow your mind. From being a loyal lover in Descendants to the Sun to a psycho who loves money in Legal High, you will love him even more! Lastly, both shows will never disappoint you. I was hesitating to watch both as I'm not really into lawyer and politics, but these dramas will really change and explode your mind!

I have yet to watch the original Japanese version of Legal High, but I have watched the Korean remake and it reminds me of Ishiko to Haneo a lot; leads have a lot of dynamic and chemistry with little romance (actually none really). Both are fun legal comedies and the drama goes case-by-case every episode.

Both shows:
1. Are over the top in humor, often leaning towards the absurd.
2. Feature a colorful cast of eccentric characters.
3. One of the leads (Kim Bo Mi in STTS and Go Tae Rim in LH) has a cynical nature and is perceived as money-hungry, self-centered and an general oddball.
4. The other lead (Lee Bom in STTS and Seo Jae In in LH) is much more idealistic, helpful, and selfless. They start out naïve but learn and grow as the episodes roll by.
5. The relationship between our leads starts off a bit antagonistic but moves towards respect and then friendship.
6. There's an excellent rapport built between our leads which creates a perfect balance in their relationship.
7. Our protagonists try to topple powerful giants in the name of justice.

Just in sense of having related legal cases, male genius lawyer and female assistant. Wacko at Law is obviously better.

Both shows feature a group of eccentric characters who fight for justice in their own unique way. The leads are both lawyers who end up working together against a common enemy.
