Thought this was a very slow romance story; I would call it a "nice" romance story but not necessarily a rom-com as others are describing it. I didn't see any real funny parts in it. The story has a small bit of tension in it as another girl enters the scene to disrupt the flow but we all know from the very beginning how this is going to end anyway because it is so predictable that the tension added doesn't mean a thing. The male lead is cast perfect and the arrogance was played perfectly. IMO the casting for FL could have been better as I didn't see the chemistry that much on her side. The ending is a fairytale.

I only ever watch one local movie on repeat and that's Rico and Claudine's Got 2 Believe. I watched this movie 3 times already after its debut on Netflix.

This is a feel-good movie, something light yet thoughtful and poignant without coming across as preachy. I particularly like the natural banter and the seamless back and forth of Barbie and David, the expressive eyes, sexual tension and natural closeness - as if they were having irl convos and we're all peeping into their private world.

Highly recommended for people who wants to be entertained and end up falling in love after watching. Something you should pop up on your screen when stressed and looking for something to cheer you up.

The movie is feel good, funny and heartwarming at the same time. Barbie Forteza and David Licauco's chemistry is top-notched. From the moment they've met at the bar, the viewers can feel the intensity of the attraction between the two of them. It's rare for two individuals to have that much of a chemistry and compatibility even though they are not "together" in real life. Effortless, I may say. Barbie is a great actress, no doubt, David on the other hand, has this certain charisma that make your eyes glued on the screen. His eyes, facial expressions, conveyed the right emotions, with or without dialogues.

The supporting cast are also great, especially Divine. CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH AT HER ANTICS. The screenplay, Cinematography are superb, technicality-wise.

Over-all That Kind of Love deserves all the praises. Hoping more people would watch the film.

I have been a fan of their partnership since Mano po legacy. They have an undeniable chemistry. Therefore, it was expected that you will scream during their interactions. You will smile uncontrollably and overall be happy about it

The story was good however I want to slowdown some of the scenes to appreciate it more and slowly build up the story and their love for each other. Some progression seems like a jump from one plot to another.

I love the scenes in Korea, it was narrated beautifully. I love how korean-drama feels the whole movie is. This is a typical rom-com, watch this if you want to laugh and feel love.
