The Zombie Detective (2020)

Similar in atmosphere story and chemistry.
About the relationship, both are incompatible entities that work together to save people and solve mysteries.
Wonderful teamwork.
Both are horror comedies.

Similar in
- themwork
- great cemistry ML - FL
- tint of humor to dramatic stories
- similar ML - stoic, righteous etc
- similar FL - thirst for justice, bold, and full of spirit, takes matters into own hands
- tragic backstories
- detective work

Although one is a movie and the other a drama each has a cast that brings humor to horror. The zombie male main in each blends into the human / non zombie world.

Similar - detective team, fantasy elements, just similar vibes

Supernatural creatures in the real, every-day world. Interactions between human and otherworldly creatures

Both dramas have exaggerating/over the top humor and Ahn Se Ha is in both of them as a supporting character.

If you liked the comedic part of 'I picked up a star on the road', then you might like zombie detective aswell.
I find that they have the same 'weirdness' of humor and ridiculous moments, some serious parts that just escalates to something funny.

Both have their fair share of tender moments aswell as comedic slapsticks- although ZB comedy may be slightly different and occur more compared to IPUASOTR

Both presents and centers around a ML and a FL

Both of them are thrillers with comedy. The stories are definitely not similar but (atleast to me) the comedy pretty much is.

Both are about zombies.

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

They also both:
> Use dark comedy and push the absurd flawlessly within the plot.
> They embrace k-drama tropes, make fun of them yet simultaneously using them to further the plot.
> Have eccentric and unique Male Leads and quirky Female Leads.
> The Female Leads are active in the plot and strive to uncover mysteries. They are both skillfull and stubborn.
> The Leads establish a deep sense of friendship with a subtle hint of romance between them.
> The main antagonist is a serial killer, though in PD he's more prominent than in ZD.
> These two shows make for a light and entertaining watch.

Zombie Detective eps 5-8 has a cult similar to Save Me, the main leads work together to find/save a missing girl in the cult.

Same supernatural scenario and also main character having like an amnesia then went out to discover the truth. The story is not exactly the same but the vibes kinda align.

Both shows feature a character who is a zombie. Not only do they need to learn to control their instinct to eat, but they do not remember why, how or who killed them.

In ZD the ML is the zombie, while in AKO the 2FL is the zombie. They each end up finding a close friend who helps them through their ordeal.
