Both movie/drama are about weak high school boys who are bullied and how they start to fight with the bullies and gangsters. It also takes place in 1970s and 80s with retro style and nostalgic vibes.

"Weak Hero Class 1" and "Boyhood" are high school kdramas about weak students who are finally standing up and fighting against their bullies while also getting involved with gangs. Although both dramas have different plots and genres.

Although Boyhood does not involve a body swap, the development of the bullied characters are similar. Both learn how to fight and stand against their bullies. Both include comedic elements but 'Boyhood' has it more than 'High School Return of a Gangster.' If you're looking for one that is set at an earlier time, I highly recommend 'Boyhood'-- SO UNDERRATED! Give it a try!!!

Both are comedy high school dramas about people who moved to new cities and because of a misunderstanding were seen as the strongest guys in the area.

Very similar concept the beaten-up bullied kid gets mistaken as some dangerous dude. He tries to keep it a secret and while also helping other bullied kids. Its funny and short. It you liked boyhood you might actually like this drama special even more.

I laugh many times watching both shows. The level of comedy is just awesome.
Both have charming characters and both dramas are character-driven.
They both covers coming of age stories, their daily life's ups and downs.
Both are set in 1980s Korea, and the shows are doing a superb job in building this oldie antique vibes.

The difference: Boyhood has a bullying trope and focus only on youths relationships. Reply 1988 focus more on family relationships

School setting. Delinquents . Few Fights . Good Comedy.

Both have very similar vibes, however the main plot is slightly differently. (In one series one disguises intentionally and in the other it happens accidentally in the beginning).

Very likely who enjoyed the one would enjoy other as well.

Note Korean series is emotional and seems to have melodrama.
