Both movies are set in the 90s Korean high school life. The main genres are romance and melodrama, and I found it interesting how both of these are centred around the school's radio club. Very nostalgic and beautifully shot.

The story somehow relatable. They started to have friendship then falls in love quickly but then the fate has started to intervene so their relationship didn't work as expected... In the movie 20th Century Girl, the FL and ml their relationship didn't work because the ml has to leave and live in New Zealand yet on the other hand , the story of Us and them also the relationship didn't work for them because sad reality intervene so the FL has to leave.

Both movies have a sad ending that will make you ?

Both are set in the '90s before moving to present day at the end and have a nostalgic feel and a school setting. Both have sweet and somewhat poignant romances in which the leads somehow miss being together (permanently in 20CG, temporarily in ARRTI). One has a sad ending, the other happy.

Despite a bittersweet twist, "20th Century Girl" is a captivating journey of first love in 1999, where a high school girl embarks on a mission to help her friend discover everything about her crush, only to find her own heart entangled in the process. Filmed with stunning visuals and masterful direction, this movie is a nostalgic treat. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be left cherishing the memory of Bo-ra and Woon-ho's beautiful, yet bittersweet, love story.
