Amor Enrolado

As the story goes, it appears that the film use similar K-Drama template which is friend to lover.

But the best thing is the nostalgic vibes of late 1990s school and love live. It appears innocents, sweets, and overall far from the toxic and buzzing social medias.

There are bunch of references, such as paper crane wish, Pager, film cameras, songs, to unique hairstyles.

It add various fun elements to the rather simple storytelling.

Great cast increase the rate! Shin Eun Soo once again proven her capabilities to act as a young teenager from 1990s, just like her role in Twinkling Watermelon!

I love when k-movie made a movie like this; summer vibe, love, high schoolers, in 90's era (i think), a getaway beach, field trip. Bikin kangen field trip SMA, TAKE ME BACK dimn the only problems i have to face is confesing to stupid boys. I know im not the only one who feel the sam way right?

Btw i always love watching a K-drama/movie where the main character have the same MBTI as me, made me feel im not alone doing this stupid or cringe stuff, LIKE GUYSS ITS OUT OF MY CONTROL, even feel i anoyed it. It's like a reminder that all the things i've done is not always not bas as it seems (see SO CRINGE).

Anyways this movie could gone better if the ending have a better hook(?) idk for the right word, its just that the ending could be more greater.

Thanks to LB I found out that it's a movie and not a series. I was sure it was a series and I never would have touched it otherwise. But I can deal with two hours of silliness no problem :))) It's got all those teen tropes but is somehow still fresh? I don't know how that happens, cause it's not the first 90s Asian drama I'm seeing, but most of those do work somehow. Probably simpler, more innocent times. The characters felt real and they weren't too perfect looking or anything, the look in general was very natural. Personally I don't get the hate for big hair, but anyways. Yes, this is the happy ending version of Twentieth Century Girl in a way. I also burst out laughing a few times, which is always nice. The actors did a nice job, although Se-ri's tone of voice was a little exaggerated IMO, but still, as tropey as her whole personality was, I enjoyed her character, she'd be a nice friend. Yun-seok is a walking green flag, as you'd expect.

Just watched it yesterday with my mom and we both liked it a lot...It was such a fresh air after a long time of not watching a good comedy romance..The acting is not cringe and the cast play really well into their characters...It was so sweet and heartwarming. Definitely recommend you to watch. I hope it has a spin off too.

I saw the trailer and got reminded of A Little Thing Called Love and while I adored that movie it's not without problems regarding one's appearance and this movie presented that the female lead has a similar problem in particular her hair. So I am pleased to say that they didn't follow the same path.

Now this is just a simple story there's no big plot twists or conflict for every character but it does give your heart a tug. I actually teared up watching this when they dug a little deep putting thorns in the plot lines which helped give more depth to our main leads. Because they needed it. If this was a series would've hit so much more.

Ngl I was rooting for the 2nd lead because I thought they had better chemistry during their main scene BUT the main lead actually swayed me to him during his time. The actor is kind of like a depressed puppy? He gives off this vulnerable innocent guy and he was so very sweet! I actually felt my heart flutter during their romantic moments which were so few give how short the running time is.

Overall it's not the best out there but for a one time watch I recommend this if you're looking for something light and fluffy. It's not overly romantic but it does hit still and all the characters are good there's nobody annoying.
