For the Emperor (2014)

It's a drama but has the same noir feel and darkness. The leads have amazing bromance and their chemistry was outstanding.

Both have gangster story lines and deal with themes like loyalty and revenge. Both have young leads who find themselves down on their luck and trying to start their lives over, this time in the underground. I also think that Park Sung Woong and Lee Bum Soo give off similar vibes in their portrayal of the bosses. Last feels like a more fleshed out version of For The Emperor (and I enjoyed it more).

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.

Remind me of Kobayashi Katsuya, Sato Yuki & Nishihara Aki drama Shiro to Kuro....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch drama/movie. Sato Yuki always adorable since Kamen Kabuto days.

Tazza has the same kind of dark messed up story where the male lead gets screwed over by people and tries to get over it. Another proper gangster film. There are some love scenes but definitely nothing as bold as Emperor.

These two movies are similar in the sense that the same low level thugs become hotshot gangsters. But another film where you are always in mystery and never know who's screwing over the other. The script is subtle and it's beautifully shot.

The film shows Chan Ho Nam , Chicken Chiu and their friends being recruited by Uncle Bee and joining the "Hung Hing" triad.

Remind me of Saito Takumi drama & movie....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch drama/movie. Furuya Robin always adorable since Kamen Rider Saber days.

Even though the movie is about an actor this touches the gangster world and the feeling of desperation of the main characters is so realistic you feel like it's happening to you. And this one also has plenty of hardcore nude scenes Lee Joon is also beautiful.
