Our Times

Lin Zhen Xin is an ordinary office worker who gets ridiculed by her subordinates. Dejected, she listens to a cassette recording of an old Andy Lau song. This brings her back to her high school days, where she was an ordinary high school girl. She has a crush on Ouyang Fei Fan, the school's most popular male student.

One day, Zhen Xin receives a chain letter, warning her of impending doom if she does not pass the message on. Naively, she passes it on to Hsu Tai Yu, the school's notorious gangster boss, her maths teacher, and Tao Min Min, the school's most popular girl. While Tai Yu was reading the letter, he gets injured in a car accident. After weeding out the letter's sender, the angry Tai Yu makes Zhen Xin his 'friend' and forces her to run errands for him in exchange for leaving Fei Fan alone, thus making her his errand-girl.

The movies are different but they're both set in the past and friendships play a big part in them. Not to mention these are both wonderful films.

Similarities from Ep.1:
-The present version of the female lead is an opposite version of the past. Both Ban Hani (Hello, Me!) and Zhen Xin (Our Times) are so different from their old selves.
-It starts out in the present time then shifts to the high school years of the female lead's life.

After being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100-day anniversary, Ha Yeong meets a college guy named Hyeong Jun, whom she accidentally hits in the face with a can, causing him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him $3000 on the spot, but she escapes, leaving her wallet behind.

Hyeong Jun, not satisfied with this, stalks her, demanding money to pay for his car. Since Ha Yeong is a poor high school student, Hyeong Jun writes up an "Enslavement Agreement" to ensure she pays for the damage to his car. Through this agreement, Ha Yeong finds herself thrown into a nightmarish slave life for 100 days: cleaning his house, running his errands, doing his homework, and even cleaning his car.

By accident, she discovers that the damage to Hyeong Jun's car only costs $10, so she decides to take her revenge. However, before she knows it, Hyeong Jun has shown up at her house as her new tutor! He once again takes advantage of her, but soon, Ha Yeong finds herself falling head over heels for him. But what happens when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?

both have unattractive female lead, taking inner beauty theme, and finding first love. Both have cold hearted/arrogant guy who is handsome,cool, loyal, and have a good heart inside

The nostalgia feeling. Young shy girl going to college and growing up, falling in love of a friend. unwanted love. Different backgrounds. Friendship.

Both gave me the same feeling, I really recomend them.

it has the same feel... based in high school, with a similar story premises

- Both are romcoms and take place in a school setting.
- Both of them pull at your heartstrings ?
- Have amazing cast and production
- Feel like classics and will make a place in your heart

Both of these have a very similar school vibe, and all of the past school memories are revived from one main character. And even the ending is similar as well!

Both male lead act like bad boy, but in the end they´re soft.
In She´s dating the gangster the main plot is that main lead pretend to have relationship with main female lead, so his ex will be jealous, and return to him.
In our times both leads have their crushes, but they are together, so these to work together to separate them.
In both they fell in love together and have sort of happy end.

It is the 108th year of Volcano High School. On the schoolyard, students and teachers hang in the air, competing against each other, using martial arts. Every student there is a martial arts expert, so it is not surprising to see tea leaves moving in the shape of dragons or hallway windows shattering into bits with no one touching them.

At Volcano High, the legend of the Secret Manuscript - the one who inherits these writings will rule the world - has been continuously passed down. The Secret Manuscript is more famous because it helped the principal Jang Oh Ja calm 17 years of internecine feuding due to the privatization of schools. From the outside, Volcano High School seems peaceful. However, a bitter showdown for the Secret Manuscript is at hand. Among the challengers is the assistant principal who thirsts for the principal's position; Song Hak Rim, and Jang Ryang, captain of the weightlifting team who dreams of becoming the best at Volcano High.

On a windy, rainy day with thunder and lightning, Kim Kyung Soo transfers to Volcano High, his ninth school for he has been expelled from eight other schools because he cannot manage the power he is gifted with. Having become a problematic student despite his intentions, Kyung Soo is determined to graduate from Volcano High no matter what happens. Volcano High regards Kyung Soo as the eye of a hurricane. Will Kyung Soo manage to graduate in the middle of the violent storm caused by the battle for the Secret Manuscript?

Both movies show stories of a male and a female teaming up to split up a couple.
However, the stage in life when that happens is different - the stakes are higher in "Honey Enemy", as the couple is about to get married in a few days time, whereas "Our Times" is about high school love.
Both worth a watch :)

It's not so much the story (they are both first love stories though and high school life, coming of age etc though) but the feel. Just very feel good cute movies with a bit of serious touch. Also touching on the trials and tribulations of growing up.

Similarities
-Both films tackle regret set in the female lead's youth.
-Both films are incredibly nostalgic and heart-warming
-Darren Wang is in both films
-The younger female leads are very naive and can be a bit unpredictable.
-Great cinematography
Differences
-Suddenly Seventeen is way more of a fantasy than Our Times.
-The main female lead in Suddenly Seventeen mentally turns back into her seventeen-year old self whenever eating a chocolate whereas the main female lead is looking back at the regrets of her youth.
- The relationship between the male and female lead is WAY better in Our Times than in Suddenly Seventeen. Not sure if it was the acting or plot, but the main male lead appeared to care less for the female lead throughout the film.
Both films are very charming and still very enjoyable. Worth a watch!!

Both are movies set in high school in which the ML is the popular bad boy of the school and the FL has a crush on or is looking for a boyfriend and ends up forming a quirky partnership with the ML that turns into love. Both movies have a similar vibe and last minute happy endings.
