Boyhood

Both shows share the same screenwriter ..... both equally engaging with tour de force casts members

- Main leads are only trying to not be seen by the bullies, until they get too involved
- Sieun (WHC) and Byungtae (Boyhood) are loners, they discover friendship values while they make friends who will fight together
- Both dramas show how imperfect leaders will be trying to survive day by day while they try to defeat a full system of violence at school.
- School violence at best, with distinct approaches and ambiances!
- Intense fight scenes, but people will also fight with what they have in hand sometimes ;)
- While Weak Hero Class is a bit serious, melancholic and deep, Boyhood tries to be funny and bizarre

Both of these show old k high school life.
Funny and adventurous fight scenes. teen love, old high school gang culture, old-style fashion, nerd to-hero, character developments

they have a similar plot of weak boy getting strong but in this case lookism is a body switching one

Both have a student who is bullied and he learns to fight and gets his revenge. The plot are highly similar and this movie overall produced excellent

High school setting
Transfer student
BUllying happening inside school that is filled with deliquents

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.

Similar to the fake it till you make it journey where the prey turns into the predator.
Boyhood is funnier and great acting with a Satori? accent.
Its in high school and alot less lighter.

Set in the backdrop of the mid-to-late 1980s, the drama tells the story of students at an agricultural high school in Chungcheong Province. Jang Byung Tae is a small and weak boy living in Onyang in South Chungcheong Province. He is at the bottom of the school’s social ladder so he transfers to the neighboring Buyeo Agricultural High School. There, he faces an unexpected incident that becomes a turning point in his life.

"Going by the Book" and "Boyhood" have different plots, but they're similar for being a unique comedy where the main charactes are randomly assigned to a certain role and how they took it seriously and so on to the series of misunderstandings with other people.

A boy who pretends to be this well known delinquent, but in reality he cannot fight. He is a loser who was constantly bullied and beat up. They both similar because both main characters pretend to be delinquents or tough fighters. It is also similar because both of these are very comedic school fighting dramas.

Assim como Boyhood, Reply 1988 retrata a juventude de forma nostálgica, com foco em amizades sinceras, família e os pequenos dramas do cotidiano. Ambos os dramas têm aquele sentimento aconchegante de “voltar no tempo” e mostram o crescimento dos personagens com muito humor e emoção.

Apesar de ter um tom mais melancólico, também explora os sonhos, as lutas da juventude e os laços criados na adolescência. Os personagens têm histórias de superação que lembram o tom realista e comovente de Boyhood.
