Time check: 9:48 PM on the second day of September. It's the start of the BER months again, and we only have 113 days left before Christmas and 120 days before New Year.
Some of the new films coming out this month might feel like torture—because they’re all about love, and here you are, still single. Opsss 🙊 LOL
Anyway, while typing these words, there is something that was newly released on Netflix. But I actually watched it on LokLok. I can't afford subscribing to Netflix yet. I'd better watch some ads than spend money.

This is one of the most awaited Netflix series I’ve been looking forward to since it was announced last year. I was so excited after seeing the teaser clips last month because it really looked fun to watch.
Anyway, the movie I am talking about is the Love Untangled. It’s a 2025 South Korean romantic comedy movie film with a 2-hour runtime, starring Shin Eun Soo, Gong Myung, and Cha Woo Min.
I am familiar with those casts, and it's also one of the reasons why I like to watch it. Because Shin Eun Soo has been a quite popular actress since her Twinkling Watermelon era. I also did watch Gong Myung in 20th Century Girl. Cha Woo Min, who became popular because of his role as a handsome bully in Weak Hero, Night Has Come, and Study Group—I actually love this man's acting, and I really hope that he will become a leading man here. 🥹🙏🏻
The poster looks interesting, right? I was curious about it too last year—why it looked that way—and to be honest, I thought it seemed a bit boring when it was first announced. But after watching the teasers, my impression changed. Now I’m curious to see if it’s actually good. Plus, I think it’s the perfect time for me to take a break from watching too many horror films.
Oh! I didn't expect that I could relate here. I also actually had a crush on my cousin on my mother's side when I was a kid. I was not really aware of what I was saying before because, like I said, I am just a kid. But I laughed so hard when the narrator said that it was actually her cousin. HAHAHAHA Well, I think you also have some experience like this when you are still younger.
I also relate here! I mean, I am not the sender of the love letter or something, a confession that you will write during class hours and make your classmates as a way to deliver the message to your crush. I am in the middle. She is me. I was busy answering my up to 100 multiplication window card when a girl classmate disturbed me to pass the handwritten letter to my best friend, who was sitting in front of me.
🙄
POV: My crush waves to me, and every time I see him, I be like:
Who will not look like that if you saw Cha Woo Min! I wish I was the girl in the right picture because what do you mean I would not drop my mouth when I saw him fresh and neat looking?!
If I go back to my high school life, I wish I could have friends like this who would cheer me and be supportive of the things I like to do even if it's just nonsense. I also wish I could experience spending time with a gang like this during break.
If there is also one thing I missed during my high school life, it is the field trip. The smell of the snacks inside the air-conditioned bus, your loud classmates who feel excited during the trip. I never get along with them, but I observe each happenings during that time, and I regret not socializing with the fun. If only I had the energy, I would be an extrovert and not be scared of talking, especially since we are just inside the bus with our seniors.
Watching this movie was really fun because there were so many moments I could relate to. I even shared a few of the scenes that struck me the most and how I felt while watching them. I actually finished the whole thing around midnight, and what stood out the most to me was the overall vibe of the film.
It reminded me a lot of 20th Century Girl and Twenty-Five Twenty-One since it was also set in 1998. But honestly, that gave me mixed emotions—part excitement, part fear—because I still carry a bit of trauma from watching those two Korean dramas.
Watching a Korean drama in a time like this is very dangerous for me to do. 😂
Because I don't know if it's a happy ending, if it will give me a cause for not eating my breakfast in the morning. Because some of the Korean directors tend to put comedy in the genre even though it was actually a melodrama, and I am not sure now if it's safe to watch. I can't handle pain. Lol
I will rate this Netflix movie 7/10. I did enjoy watching it, but there is a lack of explanations. I think the director forgot to include something from the beginning to the end. I was waiting for it, but it didn't show up. Which honestly made me speed up the duration time of watching the ending because I didn't feel it. ☹️ But I would recommend this to teenagers—especially young girls who love the feeling of excitement and thrill. Watching this really took me back to my younger days, to the time when I first felt that rush of falling in love with my crush. 👀 |
