Both shows are about a guy infiltrating an organization for revenge. They both have a very similar atmosphere (Lots of action and spying!) and both of the leads have a similar kind of "forbidden" romance.


It just feels like its the same aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 100

Same director, same feel (at least for the first episodes of DS). One has a medical-spy plot with political implications, whereas the other concentrates on the political-spy part.


My previous recommendation was for the wrong city hunter. I can't delete it. So I am re-posting. Shark is darker than city hunter, but both are revenge stories that conflict with there romantic lives.

its almost the same story and has a lot of action. iljimae drama is historic while city hunter a modern version of it

Both dramas have good action and thrilling moments. While City Hunter is more of a revenge drama, both dramas have enjoyable moments and the viewing experience is similar.


Both tell an intricate, very exciting tale of revenge and avenging one's father. They both have dynamic lead actors, are excellently written and a ton of fun to watch!

Murder, revenge, corruption... both suspenseful (Salaryman has more humor to it) and all-around wonderful. Loved both.
