These movies are both bittersweet romance melodramas. (Pretty Dark)
Both movies start with a boy moving to a rural or smaller area because of a bad past or disturbing event.
SCW- Blames himself for his friend's suicide.
ASG- Had minor but noticeable behavioral issues and bad grades.
Both meet the female protagonist, who was outcasted and bullied because of their fathers. They don't had rumors about them.
SCW- Her dad is mentally-ill and accused of sexual crimes.
ASG- Her dad is an accused murder.
Pretty much about troubled boy moves to a smaller area meets a girl who's bullied because of the father's reputation. They fall in love.
Minor similarities: deals with animals as symbolism (or in general), snowy/cold weather area, the male protagonist stands up to the bullies and deals with serious topics.
Their endings are not what you expect as well.

Both are atmospheric thrillers with heart with a heavy psychological aspect and similar Korean countryside locations.
The plots are both centered on odd and quiet high school boys. They both have eerie tones to them, but M. Boy is more gore horror, SCW is more realitistic and dark.
The sadness is just there... the pain... the circumstances!
Ughhh i dont want to say anything further! Just watch it better not be spoiled <3
Both are extremely dark, this movie doesn't have a huge focus on bullying but there's a similar feeling to it.
They both focus on a couple who is emotionally disturbed. Both dark, & emotional films.
Similar dark twisted teenage romance vibe
