When Shiho Nishina got worried about her sex life with her husband, her husband proposed to her, "Why don't we go to a couple exchange party?"

Former gangster Tae Shik is released from prison and heads back to his hometown to live in a small restaurant with a woman. Attempting to leave his past behind, he takes a job in a garage and tries to keep away from the local gangs, most of whom still live in fear of his brutal reputation. When a local politician wants to knock down his adoptive mom's restaurant to build a new shopping mall, Tae Shik struggles to avoid returning to a life of violence.
The main lead isn't a gangster but more like a homeless thug who does petty crimes and is also involved in crimes with other gangs but the reason I'm mentioning this one is because of the same feel of dark and gritty underbelly of the city feel of both movies. In Derailed Choi Minho's character loves the girl desperately and she gets taken.
Both have gangster story lines and deal with themes like loyalty and revenge. Both have young leads who find themselves down on their luck and trying to start their lives over, this time in the underground. I also think that Park Sung Woong and Lee Bum Soo give off similar vibes in their portrayal of the bosses. Last feels like a more fleshed out version of For The Emperor (and I enjoyed it more).
Young and Dangerous tells the story of Chan Ho Nam, "Chicken" Chiu , Tai Tin Yee , Pao Pan and his brother Chow Pan during their inclusion into the "Hung Hing" Society. The focus is on internal squabbling within the triad, spearheaded by "Ugly Kwan". Based on a popular comic book series named "Teddy Boy", the film contributed a lot to the public image of triads and was condemned by certain quarters as glorifying secret triad societies. However, it was immensely popular in Hong Kong and spun a long list of sequels and spin-offs.
