20th Century Girl

After watching the trailer, i understood the story had nothing new to offer. As the narrative moved ahead, the plot became quite predictable. But there wasn't a moment of cringe, dullness nor any scenes felt generic. The protagonist kim yoo jung has the required depth of convincing in every scene, she is the catalyst and the chain that binds the plot and the characters together. She is backed by terrific young cast who play their part with utmost sincerity.

See this movie if you are into romantic genre adorned with nostalgia. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it, all in all a poignant ode to the first love.

Well let's just say that this was... a really good movie.

I watched this movie due to hearing about how good it was from social media. Combine that with my sister giving me the idea of watching it and here we are... This was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. There were many cute and wholesome moments throughout the movie and ofcourse how can we not talk about the sad ones ;(. The leads had amazing chemistry and the way they just were was wholesome.

This movie tell's us about the joys of one's first love and how unpredictable life can be at times. It tell us that we should enjoy everything while we still can and are able to, before it's too late.

Let me give you a minor spoiler alert, and that is that this is a sad movie. How I would've loved for it to have a happy ending but alas we do not always get what we want.

I'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wants a sad cute romance.

I found this movie exceptional for what it is.

This tells a simple story and it is well told. And let me tell you something, you might be thinking that the end will be predictable and cliché, well nothing like that!! It got me crying!

It's lighthearted but at the same time emotional and deep and you get to feel what the characters are feeling. I loved how much chemistry and connection the leads had. I have seen Kim Yoo-jung in many dramas already and I absolutely love her energy when portraying characters, she has a great capacity for comedy as well and that makes watching her very enjoyable. I also enjoyed watching Byeon Woo-seok and there was something deep and magical in the way he looked at her ( maybe his experience in life since he is already 30, but it was so powerful).

My favorite thing about this drama is that they portray what a real love should be, this love story is deeper even when they are so young because their reason of loving each other is not just having a crush and liking how one looks ( like the secondary lead for example) they fall in love when they spend time together and their feelings grow while they share interests and hobbies and that's beautiful. I loved seeing their relationship developing.

I do recommend you to watch this. Its a very amazing watch that will get you emotional and nostalgic and will make you feel the delight of these teens falling in love for the first time.

I've seen Yoo Jung in most of her KDramas and I know her ability to make the audience laugh & cry. Also, knowing that this is the launching movie of the director who was given the opportunity to write the screenplay, direct the movie and pick the actors, makes me want to watch it even more.

But I wasn't ready to sob and almost drown with my own tears. It kept me hooked from start to finish, hoping that the movie would not end yet. I still wanted to see the interaction between Yoo Jung & Woo Seok, they had such a heart-fluttering chemistry. The cinematography was superb. Support cast was good.

Korean movie " 20th Century Girl " is a romantic comedy with a bittersweet feeling.

The story is masterfully presented, by utilizing the misunderstanding twist and making it work. It is youthful, nostalgic, and presents a sweet love story.

The performances, in addition, were all great by all the actors and actresses in the cast. But the leading lady stole the show admittedly.

However, the ending could have been handled better, as it left a lot of plot holes and it wasn't as good as the rest of the movie. Not that the conclusion wasn't interesting, but it wasn't explained. Rather, it was rushed.

So, overall, eight out of ten.
