Better Days (2019)

It's Chinese movie
It is about school bullying as well
Better Days has more romance
And the actors are amazing too.

Both movies touch upon topics like performance anxiety, bulling, and (unlikely) teenage friendships/relationships in high school. While Extracurricular is a more action-packed and dramatized story, Better Days provides a realistic and heartbreaking account of a victim of bullying. In both stories, parental figures remain largely absent and it is up to the teenagers to learn to survive the cruel education system (and life in general). Both the series and the movie do not shy away from difficult, dark (and maybe even taboo) social questions.

Both dramas are about girl that are from a poor background and them being bullied by a group of friends from the richer societies. Both leads get help from a male counterpart. The only difference is that Better days is solely about the effects of bullying and healing while The Glory is about the aftereffects of bullying and the lead getting her revenge.

Watch if you love Zhou Dong Yu.
Both are Highly Rated Movies in my opinion.
They truly depict the harsh real life situations normal people face.
Both are Sad Tearjerkers.

The female lead was the victim of high school bully. The male lead tried to protect her. There were romance. She grew up determine to protect the weak one and stop the bully. Bittersweet slice of life

Both movies show the dark/harsh side of society. They both carry a heavy load, but at the same time it is amazingly put together.

I will not say that you will like the movie silenced, because it is way darker and more cruel than better days (the movie), but it is a bit similar to the original novel 'the youthful you who was so beautiful'. The sad/harsh part is that silenced is based on a true story, but it is a movie that is worth watching once if you can handle the dark element.

While that being said, if you want to watch something lighter with a dark aspect, I really recommend better days. Though it pictures the harsh reality that some students face, it also shows the amazing connection of love between two people. The acting is amazingly done.

If you liked the movie, I also recommend to read the original novel, which is a bit more intense, but you get also the details, which couldn't be put in the movie. I find both versions amazing and really beautiful, but emotionally heavy at the same time.

It's about school bullying
Dark but hopeful
intense characters
Better days is a drama so more story behind the events
Nam Da Reum is a young powerful actor just as the leads in this movie

Two people struggling alone in their lives come together to form a deep and genuine human connection.

The story, exceptional acting, and beautiful cinematography create a very intimate and uniquely moving, and thought-provoking experience.

Both leads are leading painful lives. They help each other to get through tough times.
Very strong script. Explores heavy themes. There is romance but it is not the main focus.

Better Days is a film that has a social commentary on youth, schooling, and social media. Parasite is also a social commentary but it's about society, poverty, and wealth. If you like interpreting movies, this may be the one for you! :3

firstly... even if you haven't watched better days... it's a great movie.. a masterpiece i am not overrating you can see it has the highest c-movie rating
next.. common things are
- bullying and gangs picking on kids ( in better days it's girls while in whc1 it's boys )
- friendship and love ( love is more prominent in better days like friendship is in whc1 but they are portraiyed as friends only throughout the movie )
- overall theme which is dark showing true personality of non caring system and adults which always don't look both side of the story
- i promise you will love them both give it a try!!

In both movies the leads deal with a difficult past and are feeling lost together. Unlike Better Days, No Call No Life doesn't involve bullying. In both movies they are on the run.

-bullying in school and it's consequence
-School 2013 is very different in terms characters
-both give the same vibe tho

Both movies have a similar feel and hopeless tone with an urban setting, characters trapped in fates they can't avoid, a star-crossed romance, and a rough but good-hearted ML who only wants a better life for the FL.

In both movies I could see lot of similarities such as both movies deal with bittersweet love story. Male lead trying to protect Female lead.Female lead is homeless.Male Lead and Female Lead staying at same place.Male lead involved in illegal activites
