One ordinary day is based on the firstseason of British drama Criminal Justice. It is about Kim Hyun Soo, a young man who is accused of murder after a drunken and drug-filled night out, though is unable to remember committing the crime.

Both leads were falsely accused and were desperately trying to clear their name. The drama is about unearthing the real killer and talking about social injustice

Very strong emotionally. The wrong person was accused of killing. Great lead actors. Very fast paced too.

Both dramas are about life inside a prison. There is no shortage of harsh and bloody scenes and unjustly accused characters.

Something to check out if you like the prison arc from INSIDER.

Both follow MLs who are put into prison. Whilst the ML from INSIDER is innocent. the ML in ONE ORDINARY DAY has been arrested for something he doesn't remember. Both MLs are trying to find out the truth and both of them get close to the top dogs of the prison and they look out for them throughout both dramas (kind of...)

I don't know where "one ordinary day" is going as it's ep.3 today, but it has good common points with the movie "The trial" :
- a young nice guy accused from murder
- a quick (and wrongful) sentencing leading him to jail
- a clumsy lawyer who fights for good and bad reasons, to innocent him

(I love both btw :))

Both dramas are about a crime and the investigation of it and in some point the main characters start to be the prime suspects. Even tough in Beyond Evil there's more investigation and less scenes in prison, they have the same vibe and both of em show how a wrong investigation, curruption and injustice might affect a person for the rest of their life.

I feel some kind of similarities in the atmosphere...

The relationship in One Ordinary Day between the ML and the king of the prison made me think about The merciless (but we'll have to see how the drama evolves haha)

They both are different in plot and atmosphere but i spot some similarities like:
-Both dramas tell about someone who is wrongly accused due to all the evidences that lead to him but he denies them.
-Also in both dramas there is an only lawyer who's willing to help the defendant (although the lawyer from each drama has very different perspectives), but still not making it easy on the defendant.

Just, if you liked one, I’m pretty sure you’ll like the other. They both have action, good plot (gripping), and very nice acting.

Recommended by Plutos11 - Possible INTP
Both are thrillers, with murder being the main point of the plot. The protagonists are both sensitive and naive, living a normal life until they get caught up in messy situations that both revolve around the same obstacle: Memory loss

although they are from different countries the plots are similar. both main leads are arrested for a crime they claim they didn`t commit.

Both ML is suspected in a serious case. Lot of evidence that can prove that they're the killer but Who knows?!
They have the same vibe because of the genre Crime Thriller.

Recommended by Shino
- same vibes
- both are short kdramas that you can binge in a single sitting
- though the plot is different, there's still hints of murder and blood in both dramas
- extracurricular revolves more on not getting caught by the police, while one ordinary day revolves around finding out the truth.
