The story begins with a group of organised burglars successfully robbing a jewelry store.
In the Korean remake they change it to robbing a bank.
Both versions is about a new recruit of a police force's Criminal Intelligence Bureau and the head of that intelligence bureau.
There are a lot similarities in both films, but the Korean remake also change the way people dies and how the main villain got killed in the end.
Some scenes are cut in the Koream remake in favour to add extra action scenes without drifting away from the original Hong Kong film.
Is this remake better than the original?
It depends on what you are looking for in a movie.
The best way to judge is to watch them yourself.
