Kuang Lie (2021)

Two people looking - one for revenge, the other for justice.

Bromance created in times of need. Good path toward resolution.

Rookie vs. experienced person dynamics, plenty of action, very interesting - and independent - women. (IMHO both dramas pass the Bechdel test with flying colours.)

There's a similar feeling that the story takes place somewhere outside the civilised world, where everything is allowed and still there are some unwritten rules that even the madmen and wild people seem to recognize and respect, but life is pretty cheap and usually those with power will rule, no matter their morals and ethics.

Both dramas have a distinct atmosphere of impending, relentless doom, despite the actual endings for the main characters.

Nature is wild, man is wilder.

Both series involve rangers/police officers fighting off dangerous people in remote parts of natural parks / the border.

The stories are gritty, there are a lot of subtle details that you have to pay attention to, the cinematography is superb, the cast and crew definitely know what they're doing.

Recommended!

Both dramas are placed in hard environment, similar mood, great cinematography. The actors are all veterans.

Both dramas deal with illegal poaching and forest rangers who put themselves in danger's way to protect the wild lives.

Cao Dun was the director for both dramas. He's an expert at cinematography and fight scenes, and his work is always gorgeous and with high production values. Because of this, the two dramas have a similar feel.
