Better Days

Both dramas involves school bullying with psychological issues making a tearful and gloomy atmosphere with sad events.

Boy and girl born poor and have to fend for themselves that causes them to gravitate to each other. Boy falls in love with girl and is willing to do anything for her in order for her to have a better life.

Both have beautiful cinematography showcasing the darker less rich side of life. These two films focus on characters trying to survive in modern life without a stable home and social life. As well as having touched on major issues in their countries. Hong Kong being illegal trafficking and China being bullying.

Premises are very similar! Both have a FL that's in high school and is really smart but dealing w bullying, absent parents, and financial struggles. FL in both find help/comfort in a guy who is otherwise an outcast and looked down on in society.

Sound of Magic doesn't really have romance while Better Days kinda does, but they tackle the same social issues.
