I am super excited to hear those two shows are similar to K2. The Player sounds right up my street (makes me think of a movie called Now You See Me) but unfortunately it’s not available in my region…but hey, it’s still making it on my to watch list.

Someone above mentioned Cold Eyes, I whole heartedly agree with this. Another good crime movie is Commitment
Some of my favorites in the Crime genre are…
slow paced, but the acting is amazing, I love Nam Da Reum in this (the ML as a kid)
This one’s about a serial killer, so not sure if it fits your criteria
not political at all, just crime
Has anyone mentioned Suspicious Partner?
I just remembered a couple of Choi Jin Hyuk crime dramas, I haven’t finished the first two, what I did watch I liked, and I’m not sure about the last one, but it has a decent rating. Not on Viki, but Rugal is definitely crime and corruption, but it’s another one I haven’t finished. (I couldn’t tell you how long my on-hold list is)

Yes, it’s a teensy bit like Now You See Me! Team of con-artists. But no fancy magic tricks 
There’s a hacker, a guy who beats up people, a girl who can drive anything and the brains behind every operation. And loads of comedy in between.

I think you’ve just sold me the next kdrama to watch! This sounds like a dream team cast haha.

but I always give everyone who watches this one warning: THERE IS NO ROMANCE.
I actually stopped watching about three episodes in because I was disappointed over the lack of romance (I started shipping two characters but realized it’s more of a sibling relationship).
Once I got over it, I LOVED the drama. I stopped even wanting romance because the way they treat the FL like their younger sister is ADORABLE. 
they’re a bunch of annoying siblings, competing with each other for “Favorite Oppa” status with her 
it was really wholesome.
Hope you like it!

Well Viki had
- Crime Squad 38 which is called 38 Task Force and some other.
It’s a well done Crime/Police drama with the handsome Seo In Guk.
This is one a political corruption drama, really well done:
and this is good as well, it’s about power/money corruption:
It used to be titled “Neighborhood Lawyer Jo” why was it changed and to Mr. Joe which is more american sounding??? I even asked to fix this, lol 
but no, I think it’s because of Kocowa.

So I just finished watching Pinocchio a couple days ago and 
it was quite an emotional rollercoaster. I’m so glad the truth was able to come out, but the risky sacrifice of Seo Beom-Jo was so moving. (I tried really hard to dislike his character but it was near to impossible - he just has this certain charm aha).
I’m in awe of how “forgiving” they are towards Song Cha-Ok, and it’s heart breaking how the two brothers didn’t get the happy reunion 
I feel like there’s scope of a season two, but to be honest, the ending gave enough closure. We saw them happily in love with family acceptance, and the main culprits locked away.
(I did a blog review if any of you are interested)
I’ve now started watching Itaewon…I want to punch a certain someone really hard…
I’ve got to the point where Jo Yi-Seo and Park Seo-Ro-Yi cross paths exactly seven years on!
This is not one about corruption but it is a crime/mystery/romance/fantasy. I love it.

Great acting on everyone’s part. I enjoyed it but just so we’re clear, there’s no romance. Only slight flirting.
There are 4 seasons with 58 episodes combined. It’s crime/suspense and probably everything else in between. I only watched season 1 since it’s a lot of heavy crimes involved. It’s so popular other countries made adaptations of their own.

This is the one I am watching now. It is so heavy at times that I feel overwhelmed for the main characters.
It is a great drama though!!

Forgive me if this has already been recommended. I tried to scan to see. This drama is suspenseful. It has a great cast. There are things in this drama that are traumatic. Sometimes I only watched one episode a day but that is me. I would tell you why but that would be a spoiler.
I often can guess who the culprit is in a crime/drama. This is one of those I did not know until revealed. It was so exciting that I might watch this drama again!

I don’t know if anyone already suggest this one, but one of my favourite kdrama (with crimes and corruption) is Stranger (released in 2017)

NX bought off the rights so Viki stood no chance. Would have been great if they did.
