General Thoughts
I'm not going to lie, I have seen the cover of this show so many times on Netflix and just skipped over it because I saw it was a movie. I literally said in my head, how can a 2hr long movie capture emotional depth, humor, and romance in the way that dramas do? Well, today, I decided to sit down and just watch it. Boy, let me tell you, was I impressed. Now, was this the best thing I've ever watched? No. But was it good enough that it left an impact and I'm glad I watched it, yes.Because it's 2 hours long, there are not many big comments I have, but first off, I just love the male lead. He is such a green flag and always supported the female lead from the first day that they met. I love how relatable this movie is regarding our childhood and youth. There are going to be ups and downs with school, family, and friends. This movie encompasses many struggles that we may go through, but also the good times that we all go through as well. I loved how the symbol of her hair being something that restricted her freedom and beauty turned into a symbol of her personality, boldness, and character. That is all due to the ML. He never once made her feel uncomfortable or feel like she has to change her hair for him. That is the best part about him, he just makes her feel at ease. A lot of the times, we romanticize relationships into being something so exciting and heartthrobbing. Now, don't get me wrong, it can be, however it can also be something so simple. This is exactly how Love Untangled portrayed relationships and I loved it. There was no miscommunication, just simple navigation through the early stages of a first love.
Side note, another symbol that I resonated with a lot was the paper cranes. At first, the FL made them for someone else she liked and the ML helped her with that. However, once the big confession came, the ML ended up making a whole jar for the FL herself. That kind of exchange truly shows the understanding and comfort that they bring each other. Also, I'm a little bit impartial because I love making paper stars, so hey, maybe one day.
No, but the only critique that I have to add is that the ending did feel a little rushed. I wished we would've got to see more depth into the struggles with the ML and his family. Then, all the time that he was gone, we got none of those scenes. Only when he came back, did we understand that they ended up together.
Last side note, I realized that like all youth dramas will have some type of beach scene with some type of friend group. Is this like a common symbol or setting used in all dramas or is it just one big coincidence? And for some reason, the beach scene usually happens to be in the winter which is kind of counterintuitive.

the story was good but could've been better
love untangled – my first k-movie!description :
story of a girl who has curly hair and she was not so proud of it and wanted better hair(straight hair) and wanted to get straight hair to impress her crush so, she found out a way where she can fix her hair but how? (the story begins)
opinion : honestly didn't expect it to be much good but it was rlly a nice movie but i think the story could've been more better if it had more things to add but as it was a movie it was enough for it, overall it was (8.5/10) for me

Não é só o titulo que é enrolado mas o filme também! mal feito
Não vale o hype! Tirando a atuação dos atores que é maravilhosa a história é muito mal desenvolvida, pontas soltas e sem explicações.O final então foi ridículo, corrido, sem pé nem cabeça...muito bobinho sendo que a essência da história tinha tudo para ser melhor.

Love Untangled é sobre inseguranças e primeiro amor. Ele captura como as pequenas coisas parecem tão grandes quando se é adolescente, desde reclamar do cabelo cacheados até criar coragem para se confessar para sua paixão.
Nada pareceu forçado ou muito dramático e ainda trouxe uma mensagem de autoaceitação da forma sutil .
Confesso que estava com um pé atrás quando vi que iam falar de cabelo cacheado e pelo trailer ainda fiquei na dúvida, mas após dar play me surpreendi positivamente.

Fun and cute little watch
It was obviously very predictable and full of typical teen-romance tropes but I still enjoyed it, especially the beginning.The end reminded me a little bit of twenty-five twenty-one, with the phone booth calls and then even her hair was puffy too, she also liked reading comics, the whole 90s setting, and the male love interest was also a bit older… it was very very similar just without all the fencing and in movie format.
it was ok and at least it had a happy ending which obviously was one of the differences from twenty-five, twenty-one.

the personality of the FL is SO ADORABLE
This movie is something else. There is nothing so special about the plot, but sometimes we really need such movies, and it's rare to watch such ones with really great acting, a beautiful OST, and overall production. I really liked how they merged the shore sounds; it helped me to relax, It's simple, sweet, and lighthearted for a break from the heavy plots of K-drama.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Entre mèches indomptables et sentiments naissants...
Alors, j’attendais "Love Untangled" depuis un bail et dès les premières minutes, j’ai senti que ça allait être un petit shot de fraîcheur 💕. Direction Busan, durant la fin des années 90, ou on suit Park Se-ri, une lycéenne pleine d’énergie qui mène son combat le plus drôle et touchant… dompter ses cheveux bouclés 😂. Son rêve ?!? Les lisser pour trouver le courage d’avouer ses sentiments à son crush. Mais évidemment, la vie adore compliquer les plans, et voilà qu’un nouvel élève débarque... Han Yun-seok. Et à partir de là… tout bascule ✨Ce film, ce n’est pas juste une comédie romantique de lycée, il dégage une vibe nostalgique qui m'a ramené à ma propre adolescence. Une époque plus simple, faite de rires, de regards timides et de maladresse sincère 🥹. Shin Eun-soo est adorable en Se-ri, elle est pétillante mais fragile à la fois, et Gong Myung… 😮💨 il a ce charme doux et rassurant qui fait battre le cœur sans prévenir 💓
Mais derrière le côté cute, il y a un vrai message qui m’a touchée : "Faut-il vraiment changer qui on est pour être aimé ?" L'histoire pose cette question sans forcer, et ça donne au film une sincérité précieuse 🫶🏻
Les persos sont hyper attachants. Park Se-ri, c’est l’ado typique qu’on a tous été un jour, pleine de rêves, complexée par des détails que personne ne remarque vraiment 😭. Sa bataille contre ses cheveux, c’est un symbole tellement parlant... Ça m’a fait sourire, mais parfois aussi un peu mal au cœur. Quant à Han Yun-seok, le nouveau garçon mystérieux, il ne brille pas par les grands gestes mais par sa chaleur tranquille. Ses regards, son attitude posée… c’est ce genre de présence qui apaise sans un mot 🥺
Et puis il y a la toile de fond, les amis, les profs, les petits moments du quotidien... Tout ça recrée une ambiance scolaire à l’ancienne, avec les rires gênés, les premiers émois, les confidences maladroites. Bref, le sel du premier amour 💕
Par contre… parlons de la fin 🤯... Les 30 dernières minutes m’ont franchement laissée perplexe 🤔. On partait sur une vibe douce et légère, et d’un coup, ça bascule dans un mélo avec l'histoire de la mère du ML... Pourquoi ?!? Perso, j’ai trouvé que ça cassait l’équilibre installé jusque-là 😓. Le film n’avait pas besoin de ce détour dramatique pour être touchant, et ça m’a un peu sortie de l’histoire 💔
Globalement, "Love Untangled" m’a laissée avec une tendresse sincère. Ce n’est pas un film qui réinvente la romance, mais il a ce charme simple qui réchauffe le cœur et donne le sourire. C’est une petite bulle de nostalgie... comme feuilleter un vieux journal intime ✨✌🏻

warm and youthful
tbh I had very high expectations from this because it gave me 20th century girl vibe but I believe this was beautiful in itself there's no need for comparison.it's a classic cute high school romance with a happy ending and filled with beach scenes, trips, small town, a small friends group,all with youthful energy. the way both the main characters got into a relationship was beautiful.
no melodrama pure innocent of high schoolers.
a really good movie if you just wanna watch something fun, fluffy

Niente di nuovo ma comunque un film carino!
Sicuramente non è un film da oscar ma per passare un paio di ore divertenti e leggere questo film è perfetto!Una storia scolastica ambientata alla fine del '99 con ragazzi un po' goffi alle prese con i primi amori.
C'è un po' di tutto dalla storia d'amore il triangolo amoroso non tanto triangolo agli amici divertenti e pure una storia commovente. Ha pure il lieto fine per fortuna.
Una commedia leggera e divertente!

A sea of emotions and nostalgia
This is a sweet movie of friendships, hardship, and I guess a bunch of ships in a sea of emotions.Life is not always easy, while the story starts out more or less fluffy and youth, puppy love ish... It does take a dive in the depths of the ocean.
Our leads do a phenomenal job conveying each and every emotion, they broke my heart several time and offered a back story that I guess had to be told. The contrast between the youthful, innocent cheer and the darkness is done really well. It is constantly there lurking behind without robbing the youthfulness of the story.
A great combination, well executed and with gorgeous cinematography and just enough hints of the past to make this old lady smile. .

To be young and in love in the late 90s
I just love youth love stories set in the 90s/early 2000s so much. Something about the nostalgic music, the pagers, the comic books and tape cassettes always tugs something in my heart.I loved this. It was funny and nothing too complex, but sometimes that is more than enough. The friendship and portrayal of first love were the highlights, and the cast was great. I almost forgot that Gong Myung is in his thirties now. He is such a natural with that face and the acting. I have loved Shin Eun Soo since Twinkling Watermelon, and it was as if she and Ha Yi Chan swapped roles. She was so chaotic here in comparison to Twinkling Watermelon, and it just shows her range and versatility as an actress. Can't wait to see more of her. And my dearest So I from Single's Inferno, she's such a great actress, and it's so good to see her in more and more support roles. I hope she can get even bigger roles; she's so refreshing to watch on screen.
If you loved the nostalgic vibes from 2521 and Twinkling Watermelon, this is for you.
