Lucifer (2007)

They're both about traumatic pasts and its effect on the main characters. They're both dark and psychologically complex! (love them both)

Ikuta Toma & Ohno Satoshi stars in this dark, mystery & psychological thriller drama. Remake of Korean drama Lucifer/Devil/Mawang stars Joo Ji Hoon. Definitely a must watch if you like this genre.

They are many similarities between the two drama especially due to its theme and its execution. They both focus on revenge and on what exactly is justice and retribution. Also the ambience and the ending are similar.

it's the Japanese version of this drama,

i haven't watched daisy yet but the synopsis reminds me of each other....

in "the devil" the cop and the "suspect" do fall in love with the main lead in some way shape or form. however, the devil deals with more of the mystery than the romance but how its set up doesn't make you feel like its lacking... the end is a little tragic but the over all show was really good...

i wouldn't recommend this for anyone who doesn't like dark or intense shows because "the devil" has both...

ML got wronged in the past, conceals Real identity and makes Revenge as the ultimate driving factor in his life if like one you love the other.

Both leads (the protagonist in NiF, the antagonist in Devil) use their enemy's dirty secrets and past deeds as their weapon to bring said enemy down while not actually doing anything besides setting the stage, thus not dirtying their own hand directly.

Only in The Devil the lead did what he did for pure revenge, while in NiF the lead did it to clean his family's name.

Uhm Tae Woong is stellar in both productions. Even more of a reason, both dramas are written and directed by the same crew.

Sakaguchi Kentaro & Akaso Eiji stars in this dark, mystery & psychological thriller drama. Not too similar with Korean drama Lucifer stars Joo Ji Hoon but can feel the evil vibes. Definitely a must watch if you like this genre.

Both dramas have 2 strong parallel leads whose characterizations are really well done.

Both are also noir/crime drama.

Both dramas display a cat & mouse chase. The killings taking place are linked to the main character

I would bet good money that Kim Ji Woo watched "One Million Stars" before writing "The Devil". There are numerous parallels between the plots, characters and themes as both shows explore issues of moral culpability and the lasting impact of violence. There are significant differences as well, and it's fascinating to watch how the shows diverge despite starting with similar premises.

In both dramas a mastermind gives his opponent clues in order to uncover the truth they want to reveal. The feelings of both dramas are very similar, with every episode revealing a small part of a bigger picture. Also both dramas star Uhm Tae Woong (although in very different roles).
