Same writer. Even though Black Out is based on a book, you can see similarities in the writing styles through the adaptation. Black Out also has a similar setting for the main character where he is seen as an outcast and is despised by the rest of his village community. Lots of injustice like Save Me 2 to the point it will infuriate you even more with how despicable most of these characters are in their actions.

Same creepy vibe throughout. ML keeps insisting something weird is going on, but people keep dismissing his worries. In both shows the ML is agressive but stubborn in his pursuit.

While SFH has a active FL who is involved in unraveling the mystery, SM2 has a more passive FL.

Both shows involve a cult who takes advantage of people and murders them.

- gives the thriller/mystery/psychological vibes
- although crime puzzle is about profiling but the cult scenes & murders gives the vibes of Save Me 2

Both shows pit the ML against a cult:
>> In SM2 the ML is trying to save/help his townsmen from a religious group who are really aiming to take away their money.
>> In Voice 2, both the ML and the FL discover and try to take down a cult/group of serial killers.

>> In Voice 3, both the ML and the FL try to take down a cult leader who is grooming kids and turning them into serial killers. This is a sequel for Voice 2, although the FL looses A LOT of relevance.

In both shows, the ML knows there's a group of people corrupting those around him, but very few people believe him. As the ML sets out to prove he's not lying, he ends up tackling the corrupted group head-on.

Some differences:
> In SM2 the ML tries to take down a scammer who is posing as a religious "elder" and is trying to build a cult in the ML's town. While in Vagabond, the ML tries to prove that a plane accident was actually caused by a group of individuals hoping to get a government military contract.
> Vagabond lighter than SM2 and more action-oriented. SM2 is slower-paced and more psychological.
> In SM2 the ML and FL are brother and sister. In Vagabond, the ML and FL become friends and then fall in love with each other.

Other similarities:
> Both MLs are great fighters (and almost a one-man army).
> They do have people that are loyal to them.

Both shows:
> Showcases a difficult relationship between the leads. In the case of Extracurricular, the ML and FL are classmates turned friends. In the case of Save Me 2, the leads are an estranged brother and sister.
> The MLs have a friend/partner who is very loyal to them.
> The ML from SM2 and the FL from Extracurricular are similar in personality: chaotic, reckless, fierce, active, destructive and overconfident. They both bite more than they can chew and must face the consequences of their reckless decisions.
>The FL from SM2 and ML from Extracurricular are both hardworking people who prefer to play things safe. They both sometimes fall victim to the other leads recklessness.
> The show demonstrates how easily people can get corrupted and how people take advantage of those close to them.
> You get some old-school fighting.

My Sweet Mobster leads first starred alongside eachother in Save me 2! Their relationship there was lovely, which is why I've been long anticipating their reunion here!
