theyre not similar in tone or story etc, but they have the same lead actors. So if you liked their acting and chemistry then you might like this series.
Both movies have a similar story idea. Two guys, one of them wearing a uniform, are flirting with eachother but a woman gets in the way. But both movies dont end the same way so if you were upset about how The Postcard ended you might like the ending of The Police Box. Theyre also written and directed by Josh Kim and came out in the same year.
they both have a similar atmosphere/feel (probably because they were directed by the same person). One story line in Maggie revolves around our main protagonists relationship with her boyfriend kind of falling apart and A Dangerous Woman focuses on a break up. Both boyfriends were played be Gu Gyohwan.
both are focused on the draft day where 21 year old males participate in a lottery that determines wether they have to join the military or not. Theyre also both lgbt themed and directed by Josh Kim
both are rather quiet and slife of life-y family focused films screenwritten and directed by Koreeda. In both a certain revelation turns the life of the characters around, in Like Father Like Son its the driving point of the story while in Shoplifters it gets introduced way later in the movie. Both films also make you question if it had been better if they never found out or not and if your real family are your blood relatives or if it is the people you live with and who raise you.
both korean mini dramas follow lesbian women who are afraid to be fully out (in public) and how they start to overcome that. Out of Breath is more romantic, sweet and fleshed out but Afraid Of is nice as well.
Heesooks and Taesungs relationship kind of reminded me of Flat. Theyre both younger male/older female stories where the guy has been crushing on the girl since high school. Back then it was just a one sided crush but now that the characters are older its starting to become requited. Apart from that theyre both cute short mini dramas that you can find on youtube.
both are feel good/ cute romances between two men that end happily and both are short movies by lgbt focused movie companies that often even like work together.
both japanese short movies follow high school students who are bored of the small town they live in and their uneventful life. There is a focus on friendship and youth. And so we put goldfish in the pool is way more 'loud' and out there with its editing etc while She's Gone is more quiet (and kinda confusing tbh..)
both chinese movies from the 90s have a chinese opera element (Farewell my Concubine revolves heavily around Chinese opera and in Raise the Red Lantern one of the characters was an opera singer) and that connection to opera also shows in the osts. The stories start in the 1920s where our main protagonists get send off by their mothers, have a kind of betrayal element and dont end happily. Also Dong Li stars in both films.
both are lgbt short movies with a focus on friendship and romance. One of the characters gets messaged by somebody of the opposite gender which causes some drama. Both movies also take place in summer.
Both are short movies that have a focus on romance and friendship. The main characters go from friends to lovers.
