The two dramas were based on a novel named “The Nineteenth Floor of Hell” by Cai Jun.
19th Floor is more aesthetically in line with today’s viewers in terms of plot and cinematography. It has more romantic development and a dramatic difference in film quality. 19th Floor is about a group of people from the same school who were forcibly transported into a VR game. They then had to survive in the VR game without a clue as to why. Their goal is to find out why they were in the game and find who the mastermind is.
Naraka 19 was made on 2007 and has a more silent/music over silence than 19th floor which has the environment sounds. It is a bit confusing however there’s a bit of a thriller vibe. Gao Yuen (aka Jeremy Tsui) is also so goodlooking in this movie. They speak in cantonese and it definitely isn’t very well-done in terms of plot. However if you want to watch an old movie, you can watch this. Its a movie about a girl named Rain who was suddenly sent a message from her friend to meet at the old haunted school building to take a picture. Mysterious things began to occur and to solve the mystery of her friend’s weirdness, she follows the instructions sent via SMS and entered the game: 19th Gate of hell.

Some similarities:
- a group of people end up in a game and have to complete various missions/levels
- depending on the mission the players must either compete against each other or work together
- they have to solve tasks, fight enemies and, above all, survive
- friendships and rivalries develop between the players
- we get to know the characters within the game and also get an insight into their real lives outside the game
- they are trying to find out more about the origins of the game
- the main character of Geats and the main character of 19th Floor are very connected to the game for some reason and both are very smart
Some differences:
- in Geats each player transforms into a Kamen Rider and can find or win a "mission box" that contains a "raise buckle", this gives them additional armor, weapons and abilities
- in 19th Floor they participate in their normal appearance and don't transform, but sometimes they equip themselves with items or weapons that they find in the level
- in Geats the focus is particularly on exciting and action-packed fight scenes
- in 19th Floor there is less fighting and a lot of focus on the lives of the players outside the game
