Both have the same bromance but you couldve fooled me XD thing going on in this case with Taemin and Shotas characters. Shota literally saves Taemins life putting himself in danger constantly and they have a terrible ill-fated back story like Guardian and Goblin. Final Life is not cutesy but dark though . But I love it!
Innocent Man is the only drama I can think of that has shady male lead and tons of angst and skin ship and Hua Jai Sila is not over yet but Innocent Man is way darker and sadder. Proper tragedy. But honestly love Hua Jai Sila it's so good skin ship wise and it's not misogynistic at all, no boys will be boys or any of that. Just a really aggressive male seriously the part where he's beating the crap out of his step brother was so intense! I was in tears! And plenty of angst and emotional scenes.
If you're looking for more hilarious and exciting EXO and Sehun fix watch the ladder! You won't stop laughing not for a second!
Both equally tragic and action oriented although Hwayi is more sinister from the start. Heavy bromances and messed up characters trying to fight their love for a messed up family. In Hwayi it's the family that kidnapped the main lead and raised him to be a monster. In Secretly the two spies act like parents toward the younger kid, even though he's a trigger happy north korean spy raised to be a monster. It's heartbreaking to see them love each other and also be forced to destroy one another.
Again, they're both stories with a soul. And extremely bromance heavy. Secretly Greatly is about spies and Friend is about gangsters. The tragedy aspect Secretly is definitely more tragic but Friend isn't a pretty story either.
If you're looking for epic bromance with fantastic action and a strong story with a soul, watch this.
Even though the movie is about an actor this touches the gangster world and the feeling of desperation of the main characters is so realistic you feel like it's happening to you. And this one also has plenty of hardcore nude scenes Lee Joon is also beautiful.
These two movies are similar in the sense that the same low level thugs become hotshot gangsters. But another film where you are always in mystery and never know who's screwing over the other. The script is subtle and it's beautifully shot.
Tazza has the same kind of dark messed up story where the male lead gets screwed over by people and tries to get over it. Another proper gangster film. There are some love scenes but definitely nothing as bold as Emperor.
It's a drama but has the same noir feel and darkness. The leads have amazing bromance and their chemistry was outstanding.
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.
Gritty. Amazing action. Solid acting. Bromance heavy. Main lead Taemin becomes the killer's target and Park Hae Jin gets similarly affected in a different way.
