The Case of Itaewon Homicide (2009)

Because they're both suspenseful.

A young man living in another country. Good time and hard time. Trouble time. Complicated situation. Political and culturally different

Both Korean movie has American Korean character (s). Culture wise very different. They tense to bring their hate and violent back to Korea

The prosecutor working hard against the evil but was tiresome and went nowhere. Who is the real murderer? Who can he trust?

There are lots of connections, though the ends are completely different...

Both are unsolved cases based on a real life event but the plots are completely different.

Both main lead are American Korean. One is American born Korean, the other is Korean Born raised in American. Both has jail setting and complicated storyline.

Both movie involve the prosecutor trying to find the truth. Complicated story. Prosecutor self struggle and trying to break a case and involve years long battle

The prosecutor persistence, gut feeling, didn’t give up. Fight for the innocent. Complicated, political and society pressure. Criminal justice

The new prosecutor work hard to review the truth. Political involvement. Long strategy to seek justice,

The prosecutor digging deep into a case finding himself drowning in the sea of water. What is the truth. What is justice.

Complicated case. Did the investigator help the evil? The the evil innocent? The manipulative suspect outsmart the prosecutor.
