The Man from Nowhere (2010)

Both are trying to save the life of a young girl.. Also, Kim Sae Ron is the role of the young girl.

Although there is a large time disparity between the two shows as well as locale, they are amazing. These movies have action choreographed the way it should be. Tight, beautiful, efficient, and brutal. Though there is a scene or two where the wire work is obvious in Kenshin where there is none in Ajussi they are both spectacular for the action genre. The way fights are choreographed in these films is the standard to which all should be held.

Another rescue mission with a mysterious skilled main lead.

Similar vibes

BOTH:
man and girl/kid form a heroic relationship
man is hero
girl/kid becomes damsel in distress
action packed
genres: action. thriller, crime
very strong male lead
male leads are avenging the death of someone close to them

DIFFERENT:
avenge death of his family in Revenger
avenge death of the little girl's family

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

Both are about this male lead stood up the plate to help the weak and distress. His bravery, heroic, and protected instinct got himself in trouble, fight with the big gang

Both "Oldboy" (2003) and "The Man from Nowhere" (2010) are South Korean films that delve into themes of ‘revenge and redemption’. In "Oldboy," a man seeks vengeance after being imprisoned for 15 years without explanation, while "The Man from Nowhere" follows a former special agent who embarks on a violent quest to rescue a kidnapped child. Both films are known for their intense action sequences, complex characters, and emotional depth, highlighting the lengths to which individuals will go for justice and personal redemption.

both productions are about man trying to rescue someone they value, fulled with action and underground world. man from nowhere is in my idea more impactful as it's a movie and gives the feeling short and strong, my beautiful bride is no less enjoyable. but are worth watching.

Both **"The Flower of Evil"** and **"The Man from Nowhere"** are South Korean productions that delve into themes of **hidden identities and intense emotional struggles**. In "The Flower of Evil," a man hides his dark past from his wife, who is a detective investigating a series of murders¹. Similarly, "The Man from Nowhere" follows a former special agent who conceals his violent past while embarking on a mission to rescue a kidnapped child?. Both stories feature complex characters, high-stakes action, and emotional depth, highlighting the lengths to which individuals will go to protect their loved ones and seek redemption.

It has a similar vibe in regards to an adult noticing a child being abused by her mother and wanting to keep that child safe.

In MFN the ML ends up searching for her after she gets kidnapped. In Mother, the FL kidnaps the child (her student) to keep her safe from a child serial killer who's dating the child's mother.

In both shows the ML and FL put everything they have on the line to get to the child.

Protecting the young child. Amazing strange to fight for the young child. Smart, perseverance and persistence. Strong lead.

Same premise of someone fighting to save a child who has been taken, however in The Man From Nowhere it is his younger neighbor and not a younger sibling.

A man gets involved with a child in a battle and he helps her
when i was watching blade of the immortal i was thinking of the man from nowhere

Very touching drama, same plot based on the friendship of two neighbors where the female lead is going to risk everything for the teeneger boy who lives downstairs.
(Less action scene than The man from nowhere but still a lot of misteries).

The Man From Nowhere involves the main character trying to save a young girl from Mafia type people. In Man on High Heels the main character is feared by all gangs and at some point must save someone he loves from one of these gangs. Similar violence and action.
