The starting of the drama is very similar as the ML in both dramas start off as a corrupt individual (works for money) and then are forced by circumstances (K in Bad and Crazy, parallel Universe in Welcome 2 Life) to fight against the bad guys who supported them.
And they both get assaulted by the FL in the first episode as soon as they are introduced.

In both (movie & the series) the main characters are;
1. a police officer/detective
2. the 1st characters „helper that nobody can see“
Both also have: great action scenes with impressive fight-choreographies, a police case with a deep story and a lot of plot-twists, easy-going humor with a character that is the definition of a silly-goofy mood, great character development, a gril-boss character… I can be here forever tbh.
Bad and Crazy is simply Korean, less-gay, 10 hours longer version of this movie

Both main characters experience personality shifts. From scaredy-cat, they become ruthless during times of need. They accidentally help people and deal with cool female police detective.
The comedy is also similar - slapstick, cruelty, and dark humor.
It feels like Bad and Crazy is also filled with cinematic references to other detective shows (and even western movies). Meanwhile, Psychopath Diary acknowledges the horror/thriller movie references, because the main character is an avid fan of those.

ML is crazy in both cases (or as irresponsible as they can come, in a police-type of drama). A lot of coincidental almost impossible things happen in order for the cases to be solved, but they do happen, and cases do get solved. TFR is more episodic than BAC, but there's a similar vibe to both of them.
The vibe is similar in as much as the characters are both work in some law enforcement, Dong Jae is a prosecutor and Su-yeol is a police detective, both has lived corrupt and crooked lives to enrich or advance themselves, but something happens to them, to make them want to do right. Su-yeol battles with an alternate personality, his shows up as the vision of K a good superhero type that motivates him to do right. Dong Jae, as you see is the same, he's done some unethical things as a prosecutor to advance himself and it's hard to shed his desire to sidestep the right in order to find a quicker route to success . However, due to events from which he nearly lost his life, Dong Jae turns a corner in doing the right thing, but his past won't leave him alone and he has to be punished ultimately for it...but it turns out to be in the best way.
