Thanks but I've watched them all except for Shiritsu Bakalaya Koukou, also I'm looking for something more serious, I like comedy but I'm meaning something like Ninkyo Helper or Gokuako Ganbo type of drama. Thanks though ;)

Double Face - Sennyuu Sosa Hen and Double Face - Gisou Keisatsu-hen

Are you only looking for jdrama? if not there are some good serious korean gangster drama and movies.

Last
Cruel City (the synopsis is a bit misleading, the whole girl-seeking-revenge is a mere subplot)
and I've hear good things about Friend, Our Legend

some more melodramatic are:
Swallow the Sun
Time Between Dog and Wolf
East of Eden
Giant

Movies:
New World (one of the sleekest gangland films i've seen to date)
Gangster High

not personal favorites but maybe you will like them
A Bittersweet Life
For the Emperor (basically gangland noir)

While I prefer Jdramas I'm open for anything as long as it's good, thanks for the recommendations sis! ;)

Nagelfar
You mean you completely didn't find it or you found it RAW without subs?
Quote
Juls
@irish you can find the raw and the subs separately.

Lovers - Korean gangster drama
Le Jun Kai - (short) Chinese gangster drama
Cheap Love - not necessarily Yakuza related, but deals with the underworld of scam artists & sleazy recruiters (guys who recruit girls to work in porno movies).
