Even though I found most of the film funny and heartwarming, I must confess to finding some of the humor quite dated and cliched as well. Much of the joy of the film does come from the charismatic leading men, and this is a nice addition to their filmographies. Twenty is overall a decent addition to the coming-of-age genre and features aspects where other films can learn from: exploring the realistic aspects of pursuing careers, pursuing one's dreams and how these may not intersect.
This is a funny clever movie about 3 friends of age twenty learning about life and love. Each faces different problems with their relationships. The humor is sharp and witty. Kim Woo Bin is good as the playboy. Junho is good as the one facing family financial problems. Kang Ha Neul is the college guy who falls for the wrong woman. Some may be put off by the explicit sexual references now and then but it's a refreshing change from the too PG dramas. After all movies are where they can let loose,
Look forward to more from this director / writer.

A film about normal people, which shows an absurd insight from the point of view of hormone-driven guys. One would argue that the film cannot be taken seriously because it is presented grotesquely. But this is not so. The film shows some characters that are also found in reality, only in an exaggerated way.
What is the message behind it? What I understand at least.
It's normal to want to be immature and this can be for different reasons. On the one hand, because you haven't found yourself yet, on the other hand, because you had to grow up way too fast. Or even too little self-confidence and this is associated with fear to continue.
Then we were told in the same way that it's okay to make mistakes and no matter how stupid they may be, behind our backs are the right people.
Another part of the story is that people with poor backgrounds have it hard, not only do they grow up faster, but also have to give up their dreams most of the time to provide security for their loved ones.
The platonic relationship between the boys is very strong, although they don't know how to express their feelings, but when one of them is sad, all of them suffer and then they are unrestrained when it comes to showing their feelings openly.
They behave like little children because they have the soul of a child, at least in part because the other is perverted.
An authentic film that makes you laugh, but also makes your face contort in disgust. Funny, isn't it? But thus gives its own charisma.

I watch a lot of Korean drama and movies. This one was exceptional to me because of the theme. Three young men is their 20s acting just like their age. Even the script was like life. The comedy was actually funny and the guys were over the top. Completely enjoyed this one.
Three male high school friends graduate and spin their wheels trying to figure out how "to adult" and have sex with girls in this light comedy. Reminds me of Dazed & Confused. The guys are immature idiots, guided by poor impulse control and hormones and go through some things to grow up a little bit. There are some VERY funny scenes, one set to the 1970's Harry Nilsson hit: "I Can't Live Without You" that left me weeping with laughter.
Cultural differences aside, the humor is easily appreciated here in America for universal reasons: aimless young men failing to launch and living at home to the frustration of parents, ex-girlfriends of one finding a sincere partner in another which causes hissy fits of impotent jealousy, over-drinking, over-sharing, nosy, snarky younger siblings, and zero ability to brawl.
Short. Lots of fun. Good cast, including Lee jun Ho. HIghly recommend.
