Although there is a large time disparity between the two shows as well as locale, they are amazing. These movies have action choreographed the way it should be. Tight, beautiful, efficient, and brutal. Though there is a scene or two where the wire work is obvious in Kenshin where there is none in Ajussi they are both spectacular for the action genre. The way fights are choreographed in these films is the standard to which all should be held.

It has a similar vibe in regards to an adult noticing a child being abused by her mother and wanting to keep that child safe.
In MFN the ML ends up searching for her after she gets kidnapped. In Mother, the FL kidnaps the child (her student) to keep her safe from a child serial killer who's dating the child's mother.
In both shows the ML and FL put everything they have on the line to get to the child.
