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.

They both involve crime and both dramas will make you not want to move away from your seat! :) Both are beautifully made dramas. Also, they don't have much romance in them.

Romance is important part of plot, but doesn't cover the rest, which is dark, mysterious, more 'for adults' I would say.
Recommended by Klaudia
Both involve people trying to uncover secret organizations. Also, both are revenge dramas filled with action.

Its theme on gangster, love, lies and hurt and "softees" of supposedly hard core men...

Even though Cruel City is about undercover cops it's also about going up the hierarchy of the underworld and getting revenge. Last is also about climbing up the ladder and also about revenge. But most importantly, both dramas will make you wonder what is good, what is bad, what is the right thing to do and what is justified,

Both are crime series & though the story might not related at all, it gives you the same feels: goosebumps & keeps you sit on the edge of your seat since it's full of suspense & unpredictable twist and turn. You won't regret watching this, it truly is a masterpiece.

Dark, Action, Fast paced, violent. Both movies are more focused on male characters and relationships. Personally I found Vile City lacking in some ways but overall good enough to enjoy
Recommended by Draken Sano Shipper
they both give out the same vibe, a strong cold male lead and a sweet bright competent female lead~
the overall crime genre are different, one is a gangster and one is a cop son of a murderer, but they both have that tough but sweet character..

It's intense, thrilling, and smartly woven together with thoughts of revenge.
Recommended by ahangman
They are both revenge dramas but while the main character is getting their revenge they fall in love and learn secrets.

If you like to challenge your values in doing what you have to do for the greater good then this is for you.

Please keep in mind that you may not be smiling by the end of it, but you won'tbe forgetting these tragic protagonists anytime soon.

- Main characters aren't exactly 'law abiding citizens'
- Amazing action scenes
- Great characters

Both shows are really dark, and they both have a sexy male lead who´re very charismatic and with a dark past.
Recommended by siriithao
Centered around Male Leads that just awesome, smart, and can kick some ass, and are neither good nor bad. Cruel city is more on the gangster noir side though.
