Young adult romance film “Love Untangled,” featuring Shin Eun-soo and Gong Myung, premieres on August 29 on Netflix.
The film invites viewers to a whimsical journey of young romance set in 1998. It follows 19-year-old Park Se-ri as she struggles to tame her perpetually frizzy hair before making a life-changing confession. Her plans take a turn when she gets entangled with transfer student Han Yun-seok.
Shin Eun-soo, who plays Se-ri, was last seen in the coming-of-age fantasy romance K-drama “Twinkling Watermelon” and the mystery horror series “Lightshop Keeper.” Gong Myung takes on the role of transfer student Yun-seok, following his performance in fantasy romance dramas “Lovers of the Red Sky” and “Way Back Love,” among other sries.
The cast also includes Cha Woo-min as Kim Hyun, the most popular boy in school. He previously appeared in “Melo Movie” and “Buried Hearts.” Yoon Sang-hyeon, who debuted in “Under the Queen’s Umbrella,” plays Sung-rae, Se-ri’s loyal friend. Together, they bring fresh chemistry to the screen, capturing the joys and challenges of teenage love and friendship.
The trailer teases comedic and heartwarming moments as Se-ri, well-versed in failed confessions, hatches “Operation Love” with her friends and new ally Yun-seok. Their plan to help her confess to Kim Hyun soon leads to tangled encounters, a hint of a love triangle, and the possibility of an unexpected romance blossoming between Se-ri and Yun-seok.
Brimming with 90s nostalgia — from cassette tapes and 35mm cameras to camcorders — the film captures both the excitement and nervousness of first love. With its heartfelt storytelling and vintage vibe, “Love Untangled” is set to resonate with anyone who remembers the thrill of teenage romance.
““Love Untangled” begins streaming on Netflix this August 29.
