Fata Secolului XX (2022)

Woon Ho didn't deserve that ?

Byeon Woo Seok, was really good and so was Kim Yoo Jung, but I really hate the fact that the movie was a sad one, and it made me cry so much. Thats the reason why I hate timetravel or time skipping going back to look at their memories movies. Bruh the fact that Woon Ho died, was so sad, and their love was so genuine and sweet, maybe I shouldn’t watch movies because of the male lead, anyways all I have to say is that this movie brought a lake of tears out of me, the amount of time I took crying just watching this movie was quite embarrassing considering it's acting. ? ? ? ? ?. My heart literally broke for Woon Ho, so I'm going to watch his upcoming dramas to make up for the pain that this movie has brought to me.

Good Enough

Korean movie " 20th Century Girl " is a romantic comedy with a bittersweet feeling.

The story is masterfully presented, by utilizing the misunderstanding twist and making it work. It is youthful, nostalgic, and presents a sweet love story.

The performances, in addition, were all great by all the actors and actresses in the cast. But the leading lady stole the show admittedly.

However, the ending could have been handled better, as it left a lot of plot holes and it wasn't as good as the rest of the movie. Not that the conclusion wasn't interesting, but it wasn't explained. Rather, it was rushed.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Great

Everyone should watch this movie. There was no better way, in my opinion, to depict a first love or the value of friendship. I've seen a lot of dramas and love stories, but I believe "20th century girl" captures the innocence of first love the best. A little portion of the reason why the movie is so amazing is the method by which the viewer comes to understand Bora and her character throughout the film. One of the clearest and most genuine portrayals of character development I have seen in a while is hers. Overall, every character is written so genuinely that one can comprehend their decisions and ideas, not just hers.

TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN'T CRY BUT STILL DID.

*This is my opinion, you are entitled to have your own opinion! :)*
i literally have no words for this. i just like idk. it's left me with an empty feeling and i just cant stop thinking about them. honestly i would've given this movie a 10 if it wasn't for that flipping ending. also i took so many notes about this movie so im going to share them with you. honestly, if you want to cry, watch this. i don't usually cry because of movies so i told myself this would be an easy watch for me. (i knew the ending btw and i just wanted to see what people meant by "it's so sad") despite literally knowing the ending, i poured my heart out watching this movie 4 times.

firstly, the acting is really good. kim yoo jung did a great job but she's definitely better in my demon. and byeon woo seok also did pretty good. honestly, idk if i like how he looks here more or how he looks in lovely runner more. the casting for this was really good, both the main leads are really attractive and good actors. and tbh the FL could've worked with hyun jin (SML) too because their friendship was really funny lmao.

i honestly wonder, in the start how they didn't notice her literally following them around??

LIKES:

so i have a few moments that i found funny and some cliche. firstly, lmao when hyunjin was in love with her and basically asking her out and she tried so hard to make him not like her. literally went to the point of talking about how much she farts. and when woon hoo and her were about to kiss but a fucking plum hit her on the head.

the plot twist though, her friend getting them mixed up and so bo ra had to keep her feelings a secret. im happy yeon-doo wasn't a stuck up bitch about it and let bo ra have him.
and gosh, this movie had SO MANY sad moments where i was either tearing up or bawling my eyes out. like when he wrote her a letter talking about his feelings and he dropped it on the floor bc she just rejected him. and him waiting for her all night at her house. and when he was leaving and said "i'll definitely come back for you," LIKE MY HEART??? and then after time passed and they weren't in contact anymore, bo ra thought he flat out ghosted her when he was DEAD.

DISLIKES:
i hate the fact he had to die. the ending was so unnecessary i hate it. this movie is so good, its a 9 but the ending just flat out ruined it. why couldn't they just end up happy? and together? married? now bo-ra's love life is ruined and love's probably too traumatic for her now. and when joseph was saying, "The happiest moments in his short life were when he was with you," I SOBBED. and then the video tape at the end, i cried during that too. why did the writers make him die.??? i swear

OVERALL:
it's amazing except for the ending. so i give it a 9. i still 100% recommend it just be prepared to CRY. and after you cry, watch lovely runner to heal your heart (i haven't watched it yet but im pretty sure he doesn't die in that)

have tissues and enjoy watching!

Happy ever after......NOT

The story starts off as a typical high-school drama. We have two girl best friends and two guy best friends, though not much screen time is devoted towards the later two. The main character played by Kim Yoo Jung is a happy, guy beating, food loving person which seems to have populated the recent Kdrama. But above all, she is a loyal friend who steps aside her love for her friend and who can blame her. Her friend just had a heart surgery.
Based on the synopsis, you might think how can Kim Yoo Jung character fall in love with the person her friend had already set her sight on and the thing is, she did not. Due to the mix up of name tag and no SNS to spy on the people you like, this creates the conflict inside Kim Yoo Jung character to choose between friendship and love which moves the plot forward. While watching, you might fell if they just talk it out everything can be solved (and it does, surprise Pikahu face), you need to understand that these are teenagers going through their first love so these are acceptable.
So, it is basically a cliche high-school love story with no surprises, you would think. But the thing that bugged me from the start was they showed the adult character for Kim Yoo Jung, played by the talented Han Hyo Joo, who seemed single which pointed at something dramatic will happen. The ending was not what I expected, It is not a happy ending this cliche filled story hinted at and you are filled with sadness and red eyes from all the tears that pour out your feelings.
So, if you are looking for a fluffy love story where the characters end up happy ever after, this is not it. But if you have some tears to spare, you should definitely watch this movie, with some napkins around of course.

I thought it was a light-hearted movie yet it ended up tragically

Queen YooJung made it again. I actually miss watching YooJung and I haven't seen her on both movies and dramas for a while so I really got excited about this new movie. And as usual she delivers. I missed her youthful appearance in a show. I still can't see her doing mature roles. She's still teen and a high school fairy for me.

Enough of YooJung though, let's get int the plot. I was actually ecstatic watching the first hour. I saw myself giggling, laughing and relating to the characters. It took me back to those high school crushes days that everyone might have experienced. Then I get that along the way, conflict must arise and I kind of predicted it from the beginning. Everything is all good until after WoonHo left. I felt like they should've ended it there but they just thought it would be nice to have a twist. I didn't feel heartbroken that he died. I feel mad that I was hoping a happy ending yet they gave me a tragedy, It's my personal agony though.

If you've been reading through this, I hoped you've watched the movie already because I basically spilled everything here. I warned though that spoilers are here. I still loved the movie though and myghad, there's a lot of oppa's here. I never thought of Byeon Woo Seok until this movie. I just discovered a new oppa to add on my list. Anyway, overall. This is still a fairly good movie to watch so I still highly recommend it specially for fans of YooJung.

A deep and complex look at a traditional love triangle

Well paced. Interesting. Heartfelt. Emotional. Just a few words to describe 20th Century Girl. The movie does well setting the groundwork for the relationships that are built throughout its runtime.

This movie tells a deep and lifelong story about lost love in a short amount of time. I hope that more Korean dramas have pacing more on par with what we saw here. It never dragged its story with filler and continued to move forward at a pace that kept it fresh and interesting. Obviously, like most K-Dramas a lot of the issues that come up between our characters is as a result of an egregious lack of communication skills, but the motivation for the misunderstanding was plausible, so it gets a pass here.

Otherwise, I greatly appreciated the change in tone later in that movie and how it wasn’t so heavy handed with showing us too much. Sometimes it’s better to leave things up to to audience interpretation rather than have it spelt out so obviously, as tends to be a cliché in romantic K-Dramas. The ambiguity of the twist might be divisive, (depending on your tastes) but achieves its intention. Furthermore, maybe we could have spent a little more time with the other leads, but that’s a small nitpick in an otherwise fine movie.

I generally think they focused their attention where they needed to and that this is definitely a movie worth watching. If you’re looking for something a little different in the genre of Korean “romantic comedies”, definitely give 20th century girl a try.

Recommendation: WATCH
