In the aftermath of the same disaster, these 2 films explore stories of grief, loss, and the memories that places hold. While one is a documentary and prose, and the other a short film, they both have the same slow, mellow tone that accentuates the quiet and deep-rooted grief of the narrative tellers.

Both are short BLs in which the human lead discovers his cat has transformed into a human.

-Action/Thriller/SciFi
-Protagonist is a female lead with supernatural ability found threatening by other characters
-Female lead trying to survive/hiding/fighting throughout the story

Same pain, same heartbreak. When you don't remember the person that you loved the most. You will try everything to be remembered because you loved her. I can feel how the man tries to saved their love because the love that the feel is hard to let go.

Both Chinese movie are about a man unhappy with his city life somehow ended in a rural area, and somehow was able to geoup the poor children together, one tough them music, the other one tough them how to fight

Both are about a teacher went to teach in a rural area. Faces challenges. Poverty make children missed school, the teachers tough it up, didn’t give up on the children, provided hope, joy, education, skill and energy to the class

Both has the story of a young teacher from city somehow landed in a rural area. He somehow pull together a group of children. He fell in love with the kids. He inspired them, went through toughness, resistance, hardship… beautiful story

Band member, poor, scatter and back together, organizer, music, song, singer, talent, youth, love, support,

Both stories involved hard working, poor, underprivileged group of people bind together by music. Showing how strong and resilience and talented they are. Their voice touches oeople pearts.

Both has a story about a man who failed in city life went to rural mountain area. He fell in love with these underprivileged children. He teach them music. The children voice were very sweet.

Pretty similar in most respects. A girl with a memory related issue
Both heartbreaking romance and lots of crying

Same actors, same trope, almost same everything but with a ghost. After Sundown feels a bit underwhelming compared to Cutie Pie, because NuNew's character has no backstory, he is like a sheltered bride to be ready to become a wife and does all these household chores, that get pretty annoying pretty soon, unlike his character in Cutie pie where he has a whole accomplished career as a musician. Otherwise Zee is a husband who goes to adult male job and NuNew waits till he seduces him and they live happily ever after.

- The crimes are committed by high schoolers.
- Underage "compensated-dating" [and the resulting trauma] play big roles in the plots and overall moods.
- Unable or unwilling to get outside help from the adults in their lives, being forced to try and resolve things on their own.
- Situations that seem otherwise be recoverable in a vacuum begin to compound exponentially into a death spiral, with every possible turn seemingly being the wrong one.
- Relatively innocent, awkward, lonely male leads.
- Subtle, tragic romance.
- Neither piece of media seems to be afraid to break the mold and toy with your emotions.

A key difference, though, between the two is that much of the negative actions and crimes in Extracurricular are not with any serious mal-intent, whereas All About Lily-chou chou is much more intentionally malicious.
