I started watching this movie because I had nothing to watch. I went in expecting it to be bad or mediocre... For some it was just that. But to me, it was more.

Possibly because I can resonate with Se-Ri or just maybe because it was good... Se-Ri goes through the journey of straightening her hair to 1. fit in and 2. fit the type of style her crush likes. Along the way she meets Yun-Seok, who initially seemed like he didn't want to associate with anyone in Busan.

Gradually, Se-Ri subconsciously realizes that she doesn't need to do anything to her appearance because someone loves her as is. Hell, everyone loves her as is.

As someone who grew up with curly hair myself, this hit home a bit. Se-Ri went through what many of us curly girls go through when wanting to fit in. She luckily met someone who loves her for who she is no matter what she looks like.

This movie isn't tropey, or typical... it has a deeper meaning: There's no reason to change yourself just because you feel like you don't belong, someone will love you no matter what, just be authentically you.
