Doutor Prisoneiro (2019)

I have only one thing to say: Doctor Prisoner is a major upgrade to Defendant in every step of the way for revenge thriller genre. Enjoy the watch!

Both the medical thriller dramas have leads who've got their medical license revoked due to malpractice and are now working in the field that deals with law

I eerily got reminded how rampant corruption is not only in prison but is related to the medical component in so many different ways as well. This drama is also full of ups and downs.

Both dramas revolve around revenge theme against the rich and powerful for what they believe in. The protagonists both have to use their wits to not fall into the antagonists' control and traps, while trying to convince people of their intentions and gaining allies. Both dramas contains much suspense although Doctor Prisoner may be a bit darker than Graceful Family.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

Grey smart meticulous Male lead who has everything planned in advance and follows his mastermind revenge plan to the end.

Both dramas are korean dramas about doctors which are skilled professional in their field. But they resign and become doctors in prison in order to get revenge.

Both are revenge dramas. Both male leads prepare themselves for a long time to get perfect revenge. And the main reason they both have similar vibe is because both the male leads never lose their game throughout the drama. Although some moments seems to have negative effect , it always turns out that it was all master plan of the lead. Money flower is much darker compared with doctor prisoner. They both have very mild romance although Doctor prisoner shows only hints.

Here are some similarities between the male leads, female leads and the shows.

Male Leads
- Smart & Calculative
- Skilled in their area of expertise (mafia & doctor)
- Seek revenge
- Trying to get rid of corruption
- Fights injustice with injustice
- Both are intimidating & induces fear upon their targets

Female Leads
- One is a lawyer the other a psychiatrist
- Both teamed up with ML's with a shared goal

Show
- They both have very similar vibes
- Have similar tags: suspense, law, crime, revenge, smart male lead, corruption etc.

If I wasn't able to convince you to watch it, just give the first episode a try and you won't be able to stop :P

Both dramas:
> Have a ML looking for revenge and a FL looking for justice/truth.
> Have a psychopathic antagonist who is wealthy and, thus, difficult to bring down.
> The antagonist develops an interest towards the FL (more evident in Voice than Doctor Prisoner).
> Have a strong female lead.
> The ML (Doctor Prisoner) and FL (Voice) assemble a team to bring down a man who hurt them.
> The MLs are charismatic and establish a strong friendship with the FL.
> Art Direction & acting is top-notch.

The smart power play between Dr. Na Yi Je and Dr. Sun Min Shik and others here is similar to the constant power play between Ha Seon and the antagonists in The Crowned Clown. The Crowned Clown has some really intense political twists as well, and every episode is enthralling. Highly recommended!

Crime Puzzle is similiar to Doctor Prisoner not necessarily in not in the medical genre per say as much as the psychological mind games of a doctor who loses his medical license for malpractice applies to work at a prison, where his plan is to cozy up to all the bigshots there—business tycoons, celebrities caught for doing drugs, sports stars guilty of gambling—and to win allies, with the ultimate goal of getting revenge against the hospital that ousted him. In Crime Puzzle a criminal psychologist confesses to a crime he may have not committed to enter the prison system and uncover a ring of corruption that reaches far beyond anyone's imagination.

After unfortunate events in his life, Yi Je being one of Seoul's most exalted physicians, turns into a prison doctor who finds hereditary diseases that send the innocent and guilty away from death row and confinement. His goal of finding justice for bereaved families is all he's after, so he works around his excellence as a medical doctor to get around the law. With his prescriptions, he turns himself as the god above the law.

Both are revenge dramas, though the premises are very different.
Though Doctor prisoner is more entertaining, Black revenge plot is also decent.
Black revenge deals mainly with scandals.
