It made me smile.

Wholesome!

The best part of this film was the friends group, whom are literally the definition of "ride or die". Every scene with the entire group was always fun, wholesome and even endearing. There's another good point: a surprising cameo from two big actors that I would have never expected to show up in this film. Ever.

Apart from that, the story is okay and well developed but there are certain points that remain unresolved by the end of the film that I would very much like to know since they are source of angst. Shin Eun Soo keeps growing as a leading lady and Gong Myung delivered, as per usual, but it was really hard to ignore he's a 31 year old man playing a high schooler. Especially, when the rest of the cast is in their early twenties.

This is a good movie to enjoy on a rainy day with some popcorn and just disconnect from the outside world.

No tangles!

This was a refreshing break from some heavy dramas I've been watching lately. It is simple, short, and sweet. There's really nothing revolutionary about the story. It is a sweet coming-of-age love story wihich tries to show that you should and could be loved just as you are. In a society and culture obsessed with certain beauty standards, it is nice and a breath of fresh air to have something albeit simple to remind us that there's more to beauty than what the eyes see.

The show has no real complicated plotlines, it is a relaxing watch. It is light and a heartwarming watch. I recommend it if you have about 2 hours to kill and just want to have a break from long series, or heavy dramas.

A cute movie but it was just okay.

Kind of movie that can heal the audience!

The old youth story about a stereotype that a girl who has curly hair is not pretty and doesn't deserve a percent of love. Well, even after all the girl caught someone's heart by her kindness.

The plot was good enough, but it wasn't what I imagined and shown from the trailer. I thought Park Se-ri would keep fighting to win her crush's heart, but everything stopped halfway through the story. The same goes for the love story between Park Se-ri and Han Yun-seok. The ending of the story seems like ended so hastily, and oddly enough, there was no awkwardness between Park Se-ri and Han Yun-seok after they were apart for not in a short time. They didn't clarify what happened to each other, especially Han Yun-seok who didn't come back to Busan after he visited her mom in Seoul.

But overall, the movie heals me & was cute to watch!♡
The casts acted very well✧

Love Untangled Review - ZyKuu

"His heart strings were more tangled than her hair" - This story was very innocent and cute. The film follows the main lead Park Se-ri is a determined teenager on a mission to untangle her natural curly hair. With hopes of having straight hair she aims to impress her crush Kim-hyun. The other main lead is Han Yun-seok whom is a transfer student. Both main leads did well in their role and excelled during the emotional moments. They also had good chemistry with one another. Se-ri is a person who trusts her gut feeling and is very attentive. She displayed her acting range yet again as she continues to impress me. Yun-seok was a very quiet but interesting character whom spoke a lot through his actions. Kim-hyun was a cool character with minimal screen time, and amongst Se-ri's friend group, Sung-rae is who stood out the most as he was the comedic focal point throughout. The OST matched the theme and setting of the film to a tee. I loved the colours of the film, it was very vibrant and pleasing to watch. Although the majority of the film follows Se-ri on her quest for love, there was a segment revolving around domestic violence that I wish topic was explored more. To me that would have added more depth and value to the film's overall plot. In conclusion, this film is great and I would definitely recommend it to all audiences.

Cute as…

My review is going to be short and sweet. I have said this often - not enough nice movies or dramas are made these days. Love Untangled is just that - a nice old style movie, which we need more of.

Even though it is a sweet movie, there are a couple of underlying themes that do bubble through but don’t overwhelm the flavour of the movie - and that is a good thing.

It was nice watching such supportive friendships, loving families and a setting in Busan. The coffee shop upstairs we have seen in recent dramas.

Ignore the nay sayers here. Embrace this movie for what it is - a gentle reminder of what’s nice in the world.

From Curls to Confidence: A Heartwarming 90s Nostalgia Trip

A feel-good, coming-of-age movie set in the nostalgic late '90s, with a wonderful cast that truly shines. As teens, we’ve all had insecurities—wanting to fit in, wishing for straight hair instead of curls. This film captures those relatable moments perfectly, bringing back memories of youth. It’s reminiscent of "20th Century Girl," but thankfully skips the unnecessary sad ending.

Shin Eun Soo is spot-on for her role, and I was shocked to learn Gong Myung is over 30—he nails the high school vibe effortlessly. It’s not a masterpiece, but it doesn’t need to be. This movie is a lighthearted, easy watch that’s not meant to be overanalyzed—just sit back and enjoy it!

I would have loved to learn more about how the main lead overcame his struggles with moving to America or his relationship with his dad, but I understand that might have dragged the movie out too long.

its simple, but cute

I watched It because i was a bit bored, but It surprised me, i liked It more than i had expected.
i loved it, there was no conflict between friends or other characters.
I loved how the other curly girlie helped the fl and told her about the place where she went to straigthen her hair, all her Friends helped her in all the things to confess to the boy she had a Crush on, and he was a nice boy too and respected her.

All the charaters are green flags, It is a cute romance, and it gave us the reason that you dont need to change anything about you so others can love you. It is a simple movie, but the meaning is touching.

Love Untangled: Chronicles of First Love

I watched this movie yesterday and was absolutely thrilled — it’s been a long time since I’ve seen something like this, and I realized how much I needed and missed a film that’s light, cute, and fun, yet carries deep meanings and symbolism in its storyline. It’s a way of addressing delicate topics in a softer, more accessible way.
I’ll admit, at first I was nervous about what might happen because I was really disappointed by You Are the Apple of My Eye (2024), which I think was the last high school film that tackled themes like first love. I tried not to get my hopes up, but when I saw Shin Eun-Soo in the cast—oh my God—I got excited (and a little scared they might mess it up haha).

In Love Untangled, set in the 1990s, surrounded by beautiful, nostalgic, and identity-rich scenery, we closely follow the dilemmas of Park Se-Ri, a high school girl struggling with her curly hair. I believe the message becomes especially meaningful for women like me who, as children, felt ashamed of their hair when straight hair was the standard. I spent a lot of time with my hair tied up, didn’t like wearing it down because of the volume, and just like Park Se-Ri, I tried straightening it a few times—only to end up back at square one LOL.
Despite her love-hate relationship with her hair, Park Se-Ri decides to change it permanently to win over Kim Hyeon (played by Cha Woo-Min), the most popular boy in school, whom she met while diving in a spot she thought only she knew. From that moment, her heart is flooded with a typical teenage crush that sees everything through the lens of “love”—all those little coincidences feel like signs from fate.
While trying to find Kim Hyeon naturally, she meets Han Yun-Seok (played by Gong Myung), a transfer student with a difficult life, and that’s when things start to get even more interesting. Personally, I’m enchanted by films that explore the definition and difference between infatuation and love.
Another detail in the movie is that, despite Park Se-Ri’s struggles with her hair, she has a support network—friends she can count on for anything, even her wildest ideas. They’re always in! She’s not a lonely girl at school or at home.
Overall, Love Untangled includes familiar tropes that are executed well. The story is light, sweet, and fun in just the right measure, where small gestures become huge when done with love—and where love doesn’t always arrive like a storm turning everything upside down. Sometimes, it’s as gentle as a sea breeze.
