Without spoiling anything, both movies humanize gangsters. Despite the fact that the main leads have very reprehensible actions, the movies manage to build empathy for these characters. The movies both show the gritty realities without any glamorization.
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.
The film shows Chan Ho Nam , Chicken Chiu and their friends being recruited by Uncle Bee and joining the "Hung Hing" triad.

Would people leave a gangster alone? Could a gangster live a normal life? Can the falling gangster still have the ability to fight against the evil?
Both are action, thriller and has gangster/mob in it.
The good and bad not necessary all fight
Can they really join force? What are they fighting for?
it's kinda funny that both Ma Dong Seok and Kim Mu Yeol acted in the bad guys series, but not in the same one.. KMY acted in the 2nd season while MDS acts in the 1st and movie vr.
basically the stories are the same, the cop/prosecutor work with the "bad" gangster guy to get a more "evil" enemy..
The three make characters consist of good and bad and weird. Some intensity, show that people can cross the line, the bad can be good. Different profession or personality can join force.
