Also based on true events, this movie portrays South Korea's harsh reality under President Chun Doo Hwan and Roh Tae Woo. The event of the 1980 Gwangju uprising was mentioned in the students/college movements. South Korea's movement for Democracy is a tragedy and a miracle.

Both tell historical story:
- 1987 is about the Democracy Movement which reached its climax when Park Jong Chul, a collage student was tortured to dead
- Nokdu Flower is about the Donghak Peasant Revolution in 1894, which peasants stood up to fight for their freedom, to be considered as human beings
Both movies gave me goosebumps and made me feel so emotional. 1987 is more like a documentary movie whilst Nokdu is a TV drama with many different elements such as romance, comedy, drama,...

1987 deals with similar themes of civil unrest and the important role both students and journalists played in the struggle for democratization under the authoritarian regime of the time by focusing on the historical event now known as the "June Struggle".

Abuse of power/corruption

Both movies are set under the authoritarian regime of Chun Doo Hwan. The Attorney is about a tax lawyer who defends the case of students who have been arrested and tortured on fabricated charges. 1987 is about the June Democratic Uprising that happened when the truth regarding the death and torture of Park Jong Chul came to light.
