Jack & Joker (uncut) is about a thief and a mafioso-esque enforcer that start off with misunderstandings and negative backlashes. After some time the two “reunite” and one tries to make amends to the other who doesn’t seem to want that. Romantic feelings linger in the foreground as the two cross paths time and time again. What will happen between these two being seemingly fated yet stuck in a bad situation? Violence, theft, disguises and more await!

Punk Spy has undergone a few redos of its synopsis at the time of this recommendation. It also is supposed to be action packed with romance and misunderstandings, dangerous situations, and some light violence like Jack & Joker. It was implied that it would entail some underground crime and maybe disguises like J&J as well. But since we do not know if or when this will ever be released, I highly recommend Jack & Joker in place of it - especially the Uncut version!

Both involve a singer/guitarist and a keyboardist. Both have troubles the main characters encounter, especially during their budding romances. Both involve street performances and record companies. Overall similar settings and set ups but also completely different feels and hiccups in their journeys. If you enjoy music based dramas, both are recommended to try!
