i like this better than bittersweet life.

i liked Riverbank Legend and No. 3 is an absolute classic.

there are LOADS of gangster comedies like Mokpo the Harbor, Wacky Switch, No. 3, Legend of 7 cutter, Hi Dharma, and many more

I liked Bittersweet Life a lot more. It wasn't so much because it was shot a lot better, and everyone in it acted superb. It was more it oozed style and class. While A Dirty Carnival was a fun movie, it reeked of cheese. Very very cheesy. It was okay, I mean neither tried to be prolific. However one has style and class, while still being a very gritty gangster action flick, while this one is very cheesy, but fun.

Some say, boy you're always teasin, I think you best be leavin.

I haven't seen Chingu or Bittersweet Life, but I really like City of Violence.

Loved it.

I liked A Dirty Carnival more than A Bittersweet Life. A Dirty Carnival is not cheesy in any way nor is it particularly fun. It was a dark, gritty, and solemn look at the gangster lifestyle. I think the previous was either too dumb to understand the movie or mistook it for City of Violence which is what he seemed to be describing.

Anyway, I think ADC and ABL are the two best Korean gangster movies followed closely by Friend, Sunflower, My Boss My Hero, Righteous Ties, and Cruel Winter Blues.

2. Rough Cut
3. A Bittersweet Life.
