Narratively speaking, there is nothing particularly
original about the themes and structure of the Chinese melodrama, Better Days. In terms of being a story
taking place in high school, involving bullying that leads to both suicide and
a murder, which is presented as something of a mystery, Better Days often feels like a feature-film variation on the
Netflix series, “13 Reasons Why.” However, it is in the differences of the
narratives that Better Days finds its
distinct voice, and the film may have been more successful had those elements
been favored more.
