Both of them are old Japanese dramas that are focused on Mystery/Suspense. Although Ice World was better, I am sure that if you liked one of them you will enjoy the other.

Funny man Nick Cheung Ka Fai and heartthrob Louis Koo Tin Lok are teamed up by producer Wong Jing in action filled comedy film spun out from the gambling genre he helped to create. Internationally acclaimed director Tony Ching Siu-Tung does excellent job making Cheung and Koo look like highly skilled martial artists. Cheung plays a low rent gambler with a typically huge ego who seeks out a legendary gambler, played by Koo, who dropped out of sight several years earlier. Involvement of Japanese production funding and the casting of Yasuaki Kurata mandates that various Tokyo locations are used for international flavor while the various plot intrigues play out.
