Both are dark and gritty dramas with a similar feel to them. They both have unconventional protagonists who are criminals/involved in the underground criminal world and deal with organized crime, are filled with action, and contain interesting plot twists throughout the series.
both drama revolves around undercover operations and jung kuyng ho plays in both.
written by the same writer, both dramas are filled with action and the dark side of the society. my beautiful bride is more a romance and is more of a single man show, where as cruel city makes you root for more than one single character. in my opinion cruel city has a much more superior storyline but my beautiful bride is also a worthwhile watch.
Both deal with undercover crime investigations. Similar gritty and gripping stories. Cruel City was a little less organized with its plot and The Worst of Evil had a better setting/cinematography overall, especially being set in the 90’s. But if you liked one, you will probably enjoy the other.
Antihero male lead who is extremely physically capable.
Sizzling chemistry between male lead and older female lead.
Introduction of a younger female lead who is more innocent and serves as romantic interest.
Both action dramas with breathtaking fighting scenes and all. Lee Min looks hella sexy just like Jung Kyung Ho <3
Kill it gives me that same angsty dark vibed crime genre. Both male leads are not a simple good or bad type? And both female leads are cops and strong
They are both thriller, suspense and a noir drama. The male lead was also accused of committing a crime that he didn't do. He was similarly fighting against a powerful villain who wants him eradicated. The male lead is to boot an orphan like the male lead in Big Mouth.
Not even close to the same kind of drama but two actors are in this drama as they are in falling for innocence.
Revenge plot, hidden identity, struggle of FL to find her place. CC is darker (#melodrama and NOT as pleasant an ending) than HJS but they both have this edgy tone that keeps you tilting on the edge wondering what will happen next.
the background and tone are completely different. so you may be surprised at my rec.
i don't what it is but i think both dramas share the inrigue and quality that i look for
basically same plot just reversed:
main female lead loses family member because of a drug ring during investigation, she wants revenge and becomes an undercover agent
Cruel City is very much inspired by Infernal Affairs and the Hong Kong crime noir.
Both show undercover cops loosing themselves in their new identity. Also, the line between right and wrong is blurred for the undercover as well as for the spectator.
