The world is like a mirror.

it's so great I found topic about Cruel city. 

this is my favorite Asian drama (with Arthdal Cronicles), so great so amazing, but not as popular... How can be "City hunter" or "Vincenzo" be so popular when not so many people know this masterpiece!

 Rawa:

Do you have another favorite line from the series

I can't even say because there are so many great moments! I must write almost every episode )))characters were so great, bromance was soooo amazing! and romance (even it's not main focus this romance story was one of best, with that hot unforgateble scene), relationship with Jin Sook... 

and OTS is soo perfect fit!

oh god, I wish I could find some drama like Cruel city 

GOD I love it so much, rewatched it week ago... I want so see something even close to it so much, I know I wont see a drama equally good (at list something like this, as for overall great dramas, I have equally favorite few drama in different genres).

if someone knows something close to Cruel City, please recommend

 Rawa:

I  haven't seen much of dark themed revenge dramas, but I can definitely recommend this fantastic mystery romance drama which has many traits in common with Cruel City, it's called "Misty"

One thing to make it more interesting, the theme song from Misty had a very similar melody and rhythm  to the theme song "Wound" from Cruel City, I actually went and google it the first time to see if they were created by the same person....

Hope you enjoy it. 

thank you, I know that drama, but somehow hesitated about it, because it's about older generation and I kind of prefere 20-40 age, more interesting for me )) though I'll try.

I hoped Vincenzo could be have same charm but not even near, drama just tales us "he is smart and badass" but I couldn't see it (watched 6 episodes) with facts ))) +totally different character with different goals somehow becoming pure peoples defender... 

My all time favorite tv series is British "Peaky Blinders" which is more like Cruel City" somehow than any other what I can remember, I mean it's different time but ML and many things have similarities 

I'll try Misty, thank you

 Rawa:

I also didn't want to watch Vincenzo since it didn't seem like something I would enjoy, it seems like it's a dark comedy  action one and I kind of don't like the overused action and comedy from Korean shows, ofc I have seen action ones I loved but those are usually more serious stuff, like Cruel City, Healer and K2.

agree, same here )) I loved K2 too, not as much as Cruel City but still it could be almost perfect if not forced romance (if romance was needed ML had soo intense chemistry with second female lead). In Asian and also Western movies/series often action or even other genre, not focusing on romance has much better romances like it was in Cruel City, but sometimes they are just forced like in K2. 

if you sometime try "Peaky Blinders" I'm 99% sure you would love it, I can say it from what you said about your favorite genres and dramas ^^ 

 Rawa:

not watching anything from the western entertainment unless it's finished

last season will air soon (there was 5 seasons but it has only 6 episodes per season), soo remember to watch it later, it's really best ever show in that (and not only) genre with amazing cast, music, cinematography.

 Rawa:

western media has so many seasons for each series, which makes me on alert. and one more reason I'm not watching any, is cuz f the lack of innocence of the characters, unlike in eastern media, you end up loving many of the characters, and even creating sympathy for the more evil ones.

yes many seasons aren't always good, I mean there are tv series which was planed for several seasons/chapters because story really needs it and later seasons aren't regress, maybe even gets better and culmination. But I don't like when they continue it because of success and trying to come up new story which is forced. 

about innocence, I think western and eastern both are too much (mostly), of course I don't like romantizing/making heroes totally  evil characters but I also don't like eastern and old western dynamic making main lead characters too perfect, because real humans are more complex, not black or white, this is why I like dramas like Cruel city, Arthdal chronicles and some others with gray natural characters. I love "anti heroes", they are more real, interesting and 3D. 

 Rawa:

watched a few episodes of Breaking Bad

I've watched it recently, I think it's good show, you won't see it in few episodes, but overall I could eel that story developed as long seasons as it was needed and they showed us how main lead who is kind of good man, husband, father, teacher, scientist, normal citizen it real evil person, he started making drugs for reason but on the way did soo terrible things, and he didn't "become bad" he always was bad, in last seasons you see 100% that he is monster, doing something very bad is not error for him, like it is for his younger partner (by the way at the end you understand he is best human in the series, he has more humanity then any other characters), every time main lead was doing bad he didn't regrated, didn't feel "what I've done", like it was with younger partner who killed one person because of pressure from main lead and he suffered long time. But main lead killed many, used people including family and younger partner who becomes like son, did really horrible things but we never see him suffering because of it... 

So it was that - he was just hidden evil, and he wasn't character we should like, on contrary.

I don't like characters like him, but I like characters who have dark side but it suffers them. I don't want angel like main leads who never do any bad things, are nice even to them who treat them bad, it's not being good, it's being stupid (often female characters in dramas are like this and I don't like it).
