The plot progression and the fight against the organization is somewhat similar, add to it the intelligent and smart male leads. Although the general drama vibes are different, with Chief Kim being a laugh out loud comedy. Recommend both dramas to all fans of either.

Both are about banking, and black sheep protagonists whose philosophy is that banking is about people rather than just money. Both show the drama of what is behind a loan, and how it ultimately impacts lives and the overall economy, although Hanzawa Naoki is far more suspenseful.

An idealistic banker takes on corruption and wrongdoing at his large corporate bank. While forging ties with some unlikely allies, he must use his financial expertise, his instincts about human nature, and his skills of improvisation to try to stay one step ahead of his powerful enemies.

Both talk about how to survive in business world, taking cruel measurements sometimes, and the same vibe of 'fighting till the end' of Hanzawa clearly manifests in Hosokawa.

Both dramas, though focused about business, include other issues of love, persistence, failure, and success.

Both talk about how a bank clerk fights the illegal money flow within the bank. The main characters in both the drama rise to the top by fighting against the top executives at the bank. Both the drama cast Kagawa Teruyuki. While in Shudan Sasen, he is in the side of righteousness, in Hanzawa Naoki, he is one of the prime antagonists. But he had play both the roles with utter perfection. Both are entertaining drama with a lot of suspense and thrill.

Like Roosevelt Game, both series have in common a great deal of staff: producers, directors, novel author and screenwriter. You should watch it if you liked Hanzawa Naoki!

Both movies the male lead taking down a big cooperation. Although not the same type of corporation. One is true story, the mLe lead hit rock bottom and involved public health, the other one involved banking system
