Both are about young people fighting about their rights. Both have the same feeling of young people living outside of warm, familiar houses without family. Both talk about love between young people who need and care about eachother, however Better Days isn't BL. Better Days is a movie but with similar beautifull music and nostalgic atmosphere. Both are so heartbreaking.

Both movies have the same male lead (Yi Yang Qian Xi/Jackson Yee), if you want to see more of him and his works, Better Days is a good recommendation. Both movies are heavy/emotional and deal with real life issues (bullying and living with terminal illness).

Both dramas deal around a girl that is bullied by her classmates in a very brutal way. In both dramas there is a guy that helps the girl. While Better Days focuses more on something that happens afterwards and has a more healing approach, Kesenai is about the girl taking her revenge.

Both are about two people who have little to lose and get caught in something bad. The guy appears as a thug and the girl as arrogant.

The plot of the movies aren't that similar, but the mains relationships are both about broken people who need each other. Both movies are beautiful and touching.

Centers on a woman struggling through day to day life until she encounters, and becomes closer to, a man with a rough exterior. Through the bond they form they both begin to open up and enjoy life.

Both are movies about two isolated troubled young people - a rougher but good-hearted guy and a depressed girl - who bond and struggle to overcome the difficulties of their lives. While both have a tragic tone, BD has a much happier ending.

Watch if you love Zhou Dong Yu.
Both are Highly Rated Movies in my opinion.
They truly depict the harsh real life situations normal people face.
Both are Sad Tearjerkers.
Recommended by Ava M
They both have similar concepts such as; the boy being part or associated with gang/ violence. And the girl being the good and shy type. It also has a lot of bullying but it is a 10/10 movie?

Both movies have aspects of bullying. YourName Engraved Herein focuses more on LGBTQ+ struggles. Both movies have a love story between two students who are being ostracized by the cruel society that we live in. Both are sad, poignant and just amazing. Also, I noticed some similarities with the art direction for both films. Great acting, cinematography and dialogue is seen in both films. So go watch both of this critically acclaimed films.

Boy and girl born poor and have to fend for themselves that causes them to gravitate to each other. Boy falls in love with girl and is willing to do anything for her in order for her to have a better life.

Both have beautiful cinematography showcasing the darker less rich side of life. These two films focus on characters trying to survive in modern life without a stable home and social life. As well as having touched on major issues in their countries. Hong Kong being illegal trafficking and China being bullying.

Premises are very similar! Both have a FL that's in high school and is really smart but dealing w bullying, absent parents, and financial struggles. FL in both find help/comfort in a guy who is otherwise an outcast and looked down on in society.

Sound of Magic doesn't really have romance while Better Days kinda does, but they tackle the same social issues.
