Oldboy and No Mercy has many similarities. To list a few major ones are Story is similar, Revenge is also similar. And finally at the climax a huge twist appears which makes the movie to the top level.

Both are revenge stories directed by Park Chan Wook. They both make the viewer feel sympathy for the protagonists. They are artistically made and they include complex characters.

Not as dark/psychological as oldboy but, if you've seen oldboy you'll definitely get 'oldboy vibes' from this film. They're both thrillers. I won't say anymore because I feel it would ruin the experience, definitely a film you should go into without knowing anything.

I started it on midday and ended it at night. People who want to have action and a amazing story which is not really connected to the world where live will be disappointed.

However I loved how realistic it was. From beginning to end I was excited, shocked and realised that just little things can change a whole matter, your whole life, your character and surrounding.

This drama has a really good ending.
The acting was amazing.
The music fits really good.
... and I will rewatch it to unterstand it better.
Money can drive people crazy.

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

The main character is a tragic and melancholic old man who has lost everything and whose only way of living is with violence.

Old boy is the second installment of The Vengeance Trilogy, preceded by Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and followed by Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.

Both have the same theme which is revenge .
Oldboy is a movie and it has action sequences however Black revenge is more of a drama and mainly revenge is achieved through publishing scandals.
Just if someone is interested in revenge genre , both are pretty decent to watch once.

He did a terrific performance in both.

Though the genres are different.

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.
