The premise of both surround sketchy people coming to a new highschool. They also try to fix the 'inner school' issues.

(Note there might be Spoilers !!)

Though both series give similar vibes, Kyouso no Musume and Girl from Nowhere are very different from each other , just that the initial settings ( and only few aspects) are slightly similar.

Nanno of Girl From Nowhere displays supernatural abilities many times. Also her family details were never known and she changes to different school in each episode.

Kiritani Sara doesnt exhibit any supernatural ability and of course she is very keen about minute details and intelligent as Nanno. Also there are possessiveness and revenge elements in this plot and they are main aspects in this series. Note that Kyouso no Musume are of bit shorter length. And she continues in the same school throughout the series.

Revenge dramas with FLs. The FL from The Glory has a tragic past while the FL from Girl From Nowhere is implied to have one.
The FL from Girl From Nowhere is a high school student and a “demon” while the FL of The Glory is an elementary school teacher.
The FL from Girl From Nowhere (which has supernatural elements) gets revenge on those who do wrong while the FL of The Glory is getting revenge on her bullies from high school.

Both shows present and comment on social issues and one of the themes is revenge/karma/change. Both thai dramas are dark, gritty and feature lots of violence.
Recommended by Sleepy Strawberry
Both dramas are centered around female character who makes a revenge on bad people.

Jigoku Shoujo is more magic/mystery based while Girl from Nowhere is more psychological.

the last story of girl from nowhere kind of reninded me of girls in the dark. The characters all have secrets and are all unreliable narrators. Both stories are filled with lots of turns and twists and even the endings are kind of similar.

both series are about students uncovering schools' dark secrets. both also have supernatural as a genre wherein the gifted there are many of them who have different potentials while in girl from nowhere it's the main lead called Nanno who has some type of power to stay alive. both give off a creepy/ suspense feeling. while the gifted focuses on mystery and only their school's secrets. Where Girl from nowhere focuses on different schools and different concepts/situations. like rape, murder, corruption, etc.

Unique set-up and concept with a very interesting female lead played by iconic thai actresses. The director of Faces of Anne also screenwrittem for Girl from Nowhere, so its not suprising, that both include alot of violence, twists, dark themes.

these two titles are similar because they are putting real life social situations and making people feel for what things they've done. the leaked is mostly online crimes/situations but its still similar in my opnion.

Dark, psychological thrillers, school setting, taboos, twists, manipulation, societal issues, unclear motives, violence... like misbehavior could have been a girl from nowhere episode in a different universe if youd flip the genders.

I find some similarities between both series, although the projects' proposals are different:

- Both tell a different story per episode, but in After Dark are connected and in GFN not (just the constant proposal of Nanno being the new classmate).

- Both are open to show violence, blood or sexual content.

- The series uses supernatural recourses. AD is into demons, ghost and witchcraft stuff, while GFN is more fantasy and dystopia.

- The protagonists of each story are grey characters, with a dark side and impulses.

- There is a character that remains in the background of all stories, Nanno and Dao (But Dao doesn't have so much appearance as Nanno).

- Also, Nanno and Dao look alike, not only in the physic side (the mole under the eye) and their typically beauty of a femme fatale, but both are mysterious characters of indefinite identity who act with no particular reason more than finding fun, both have a maniacal and creepy laugh.

Both titles represent people who, when triggered emotionally by hate or envy, begins to show their true vengeful selves.

The two are anthology series that deal with some pretty messed up people. GFN is much better written, but both are good. Episodes 2,4, and 7 of TDDUP are really good, I loved them.

A mystical person appears in order to bring out the dark side of human beings. The motivation is not totally clear, but both main characters seem to enjoy the suffering they create.
