Love Reset

I actually laughed a lot - rare for me

Yeah, the amnesia bit is not believable, but this is a movie, right? The bottom line is the acting was awesome, the leads totally nailed it. Without their spot on acting this really could have gone off the rails. And, most of all, even though I watched this on a plane from Taipei to Osaka, I laughed a lot! And practically nothing makes me laugh these days, so the writers really did their job. I will have to get my wife to watch this (she was watching something else on the plane).

So, as far as the negative reviews, I guess those folks have even less of a sense of humor than I do :-). Just give it a try. I think most people will really enjoy it. Just relax, suspend belief, and prepare for a wild ride.

BTW, some people said it was predictable. But one aspect of this that got me laughing was some of the comedic bits took me completely by surprise. Like, what the heck? LOL!

watched it for Jung So Min at first, but in the end I loved everything about it

Love Reset is a delightful romcom that had me laughing from start to finish. The movie cleverly embraces cliché scenes and over-exaggerated acting, creating a humorous atmosphere. The comedic timing in the film is spot-on, and it effectively balances the dramatic and comedic elements in its storytelling. The film delves into their past relationship, exploring the reasons behind their decision to divorce and the challenges they face in rediscovering their love for each other. Themes of forgiveness, second chances, and the importance of communication in relationships are skillfully woven into the narrative. What I appreciated most about Love Reset is that it stays true to its genre, delivering a lighthearted and fun experience. While it touches on the complexities of marriage and the pursuit of second chances in love, it never loses its light and enjoyable tone.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed watching "Love Reset" and would give it an 8/10 rating. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a feel-good romcom that will leave you with a smile on your face.

rom com of the year and it's only feb

Haven't watched a rom-com this good in a long, long time. Every scene felt natural, not a single thing reminded me that this was a script these actors were reading off. Both the leads and the cast looked comfortable around each other. This was a joy to watch. I am a sucker for these kind of plotlines so I ate this story up and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend anyone and everyone to watch it.

acting- goooooooooooood
nsfw - in the kmovie industry its ok, no closeups just feelings which was extremely adorable and personally i loved
heart strings tugged: yes! but could have been a bit more but no reason to pull the rating down i guess because i worked with what i had.

Frog-like laugh

Your husband / wife should not only make you happy, but also make you angry. Going together through laughing and yelling, through romance and fighting make for the best partnership and this movie shows it. This romantic comedy is fully with unique characters that provide many unexpected funny moments and it made me laugh a lot. The actors all did a great job, but i especially liked the absurd frog-like laughing from the male actor Kang Ha Neul. As with others movies of the same genre, the comedy serves to highlight the message of love that survives all the challenges. here it is presented through a reset of relationship which was used well for both the comedy and romance.

Note that there are post-ending gags, and an credits scene and also a post-credit scene. Everything in the movie is made for the enjoyment and i did have a fun Sunday night with it. Hope you will too!

romCOMEDY

if this was a comedy movie without the rom, i will gladly accept it as a masterpiece because it was funny as helll. but thenn the plot was meh, there were no characters development whatsoever, and i still don't understand why in the world they fell in love again. what were the moments that outweighed the bad memories? like...they showed how they met and how they date. that's it? mere physical attractions and 'love at first sight' thing are not big enough for me to outweigh the fact that they were NOT COMPATIBLE at ALL as a married couple.

plus, the fl character was sooo not it. i was sooo annoyed at how crazy she was. like all the bad or gross things that the ml did was reasonable (except for the cheating part ofc) and it was nothing compared to what the fl did. her personality boils me. and the ml's mother was also annoying as helll.

but the good part is the acting were phenomenal. kang haneul, jung so min and everyone in it really outdid themselves. i just didn't like how the characters were written. i liked how cool were the fl's mother in this, and how loving she was towards her daughters. i could feel her unconditional love as a mother. i also liked the bromance between ml and his friends. i found it very cute and funny haha. liked the comedy, i laughed way too hard watching this. and the cinematography experience were satisfying too. i like how the comedic editing works, the transition and the comedic pans. chef's kiss, kudos to the director. i would say this film is a very well directed comedy piece.

last but not least, i think this movie will be better if they divorced at the end. comically.

Completely missed the mark in terms of romance & chemistry - disappointing

Unfortunately, I did not adhere at all to the romantic aspects of this rom-com...There was so comedic moments that I enjoyed but also a lot that felt flat to me and after the chaotic introduction to the main characters, I never went on board with any kind of romantic feelings they had for each other.

I blame mostly the story itself rather than the cast as I like a lot Kang Ha Neul and even more Jung So Min...On paper, this pairing looked so good but in reality, their chemistry was very average mainly because of the set up of their characters themselves...In any case, that suck that I was unable to enjoy any of their skinship as I was truly confuse at why those two characters would ever fall back in love...It was really unconvincing.

It is also disappointing how unlikeable most of the side characters were... The only exception were the mother and sister of the female lead (respectively played by Jo Min Su and Hwang Se In) who were both the most enjoyable part of the movie with a great comedic timing.

I would not recommend this rom-com unless you are a fan of one of the cast members. I feel that really the romance was completely lacking with an ending that felt like a cope out. There were some fun scenes that I enjoyed but some comedic aspects felt also strange in the context of the story.

Love Reset Review - ZyKuu

"Amnesia can hurt the brain, but not the heart" - The story is very playful and comedic. A car accident resets the memories of both our main leads Hong Na-ra and Noh Jung-yeol whom were planning on divorcing each other. This leads to them spending time together from a different perspective compared to what they were used to prior. Na-ra and Jung-yeol are opposites that attracted. Hong Na-ra is a movie producer who lives dirty and wants to stay indoors, meanwhile Noh Jung-yeol is a lawyer who wants lives clean and wants to be outdoors. Their dynamic is very funny and they have good chemistry. Jung-yeol's acting was the highlight of the film for me. His facial expressions and goofy nature was a spectacle to watch. The OST from what I recall was just background music used to to enhance specific moments, there wasn't really any songs that I remember hearing apart from what Na-ra's sister was singing. Overall this movie is entertaining, and I would recommend it to anybody who's interested in watching a laid back romantic comedy.
