"Well I don't know I can name like 300 movies exactly like this one🙄" - Says every other review under this movie without naming a single other movie like Love Untangled
Before anyone else asks, there are no other Korean movies that follow the same plot as Love Untangled. (I'm sure you could find many other Asian feel-good movies that leave you with a similar warm and satisfied feeling inside though.)
If you want something with a similar feel try 'Flipped' a classic American movie. Lots of reviews are exaggeratedly saying that this movie felt familiar to older romance movies, but there's nothing quite like Love Untangled out there. It's unique plot wise and leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside (maybe a teardrop or two.), I'm really disappointed with reviews like this trying to put it down slightly, yes it follows a cliche of 'Female Lead figures out she's in love with Second Male Lead instead of Male Lead' with that coming of age finding yourself feel, but ya know Male Lead is usually a butthole which is what the writers do to push viewers into liking Second Lead more.
I'm happy Love Untangled didn't do this, it's nice to feel a bit regretful for FL because Hyun was indeed handsome and kind to add on top of that, but we also don't dwell on it too much because we can see valid reasons as to why FL went with SML (not just 'oh she found out her crush was a jerk then realized she likes SML instead' like SML is some sort of rebound which is usually what movies like this went with kekek).
Love Untangled isn't basic it just follows an old romance cliche and gives us a fresh take on it. ^^
There's no need to put movies or shows down for bringing us a bit of a splash from the past, aren't people always going on about how they want things to feel like they did in the past? This movie does just that without feeling overly repetitive.
If you're going through the reviews trying to figure out whether or not to watch it I say just do so, don't let these negative nancies deter you away from a genuinely good film!!
(Personal Recommendations for similar feeling movies below:
20th Century Girl
Tune in for Love
A love so Beautiful
Our beloved Summer
My Girl
You are the Apple of my Eye (Taiwanese)
Cheer up, Mr. Lee (non romance)
Big World (non romance)
A Little Thing Called Love (Thai)
Love O2O (Chinese)
My Sassy Girl
Newtopia
The Heirs (more of a F4 vibe)
The Fault in Our Stars (Western)
When I Fly Towards You (Chinese, Yes I know you've likely heard of it kekek)
My Love, Enlighten Me (Chinese)
Because this is my First Life
Our Unwritten Seoul
Your Lie in April (Japanese)
I hear your voice )
None of them are the same plot but they have the same nostalgic warm feel, some do adhere to the 'love yourself as you are' 'awkward but cute' teen romance cliche ^^
