Theyre both based in a school environment and are both based on Manhwa. Theyre also both made in the early 2000s and give the same feel, and have the same male bad boy character.

Theyre both my favorite movies of all time, you will not regret it!!!

Both movies have a tough, gangster-like male lead that does a lot of fighting and is cold towards the female lead at first, who is sassy and bossed around by the male lead very easily. In both, the main leads dislike each other at the beginning and the female lead is afraid of the male lead because of his violent nature. However, for one reason or another, they are in a situation where they have to be around each other regularly. Slowly but surely, the badboy softens up and they begin liking each other as the movie progresses.

The two movies also are also from a similar time period, so they have a very distinct old-fashioned vibe. These two movies have a rather similar plot, but what really is similar are the characters and their dynamics. If you loved one, you will definitely like the other.

Both are funny yet somehow cute. In both, the guys are bossy with the girls, but was also protective.

That same quirkiness is found in both. High school drama dealing with bullies.

I think the behavior of the main characters and some scenes are similiar sometimes... And even the plot in some sort (popular guy fell in love with the less popular girl).

They both have the comedic rival gang feel to them. And a ridiculous main couple. I don't know exactly how to describe the similarities outside of the fact that these movies remind me of eachother. ¯\_(?)_/¯

Our Times is like the Taiwanese adaptation of 'He Was Cool'. Both 'bad guy' leads; both clumsy and innocent female leads. And both male leads have 'pasts'. Both awesome and worth watching!

Remind me of Yokohama Ryusei drama....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch romance comedy drama.

He Was Cool was pretty silly, but there's a lot of similarities in the synopsis involving a forced relationship based on an accident or misunderstanding.
