i have yet to watch Awaken fully but here's what i can see from the summary/some of the reviews!
- forgotten tragedies
- serial murders (both shows have them set around 30-35 years after the first killings)
- FBI (both shows have MCs that are on loan from the FBI/both are women)
- emotional MLs
- psychology (i see the tag on Awaken and i'm not quite sure where it will come in but in Chimera one of the MLs is a brain surgeon/former army veteran trained in [redacted] while one of the FLs is a criminal profiler—didn't quite give me Memorist vibes in the latter but it was there)
- hinted romance (Awaken seems to be more out in the open while Chimera is more subtle and slightly more complicated, ig?)
if you think all of this is for you, give Chimera a try! you might like it more than me <333

Follow the team of Detective Jae Hwan, Profiler Yoo Jin, and Surgeon Dr. Joong Yeob assigned to solve both the cold and current cases.
