20th Century Girl, Romance Youth Drama

A work that stimulates memories of that time
On October 21, 2022, a new Korean movie, The 20th Century Girl, was released on Netflix. It is rated for ages 12 at 119 minutes (1 hour and 59 minutes) of running time. It was produced by director Bang Woo-ri, and Dalparan was in charge of the music. Various actors such as Kim Yoo-jung, Byun Woo-suk, Park Jung-woo, and Noh Yoon-seo will appear. It is a romance youth drama genre that reminds you of memories reflecting the times of the late 1990s. The main character, Nabora, is Kim Yoo-jung from “Convenience Store’s New Star.” Yeon-du is played by Noh Yoon-seo, who starred as a pregnant high school student in Our Blues. Also, Park Jung-woo of “DP,” who plays Baek Hyun-jin, and Byun Woo-suk of “Thinking of the Moon When Flowers Bloom” who plays Pung Un-ho were good. Watchapedia has 64 points, and IMDB has 74 points, which is above average so far.

synopsis of a work
The movie starts with the main character Han Hyo-joo playing the role of adult Bora. She is currently in Seoul, and her father (Jeong Seok-yong) said that she called her from Cheongju, where she grew up since she was young, and received a package. It’s an old videotape of a movie over the age of 19 that someone borrowed from his father’s video rental shop in 1999 and didn’t return it. Watching the video cover of the main character Bora reminds me of a funny memory. The person who borrowed this videotape was my friend, Pung Woon-ho (Byun Woo-suk). Now, it enters the main character’s memory through the memories of the time when it was discovered. The story begins about how they met and found out and how they became.

Worldwide Response Collection
The 20th century girl has received a lot of attention from overseas as it has not been long since it was released. Let’s take a look at some of the reactions.

Though its potential is not fully realized, “20th Century Girl” does manage to add to the timeworn theme of first love by providing a moving examination of what makes certain moments — and certain people — unforgettable.

This Korean teen romance is a sweet story with characters that are very hard not to like.

While there are a few issues with the broad acting choices in the film, the plot of the film moves along quickly enough that there’s never a lingering sense of dread (as you often get with stories of mistaken feelings and identities).

What is lovely is a film taking high-school love seriously, and showing the complexities teen relationships can have.

20th Century Girl is a look at young love, friendship, and learning how to act on your emotions. That said, it also manages to land a sad ending that despite wanting to offer hope, leaves the bitter taste of missed opportunity.

Most of them don’t praise it much, but they evaluate it as a movie with a good memory.

a love story with analog sensibilities
It is surprisingly popular after it was released on Netflix. A week after its release, it is currently ranked in the top 10 in Germany. It’s gaining popularity overseas, too. As this movie focuses on analog sensibility in the late 90s and love stories of the time, the story’s development is quite easy to understand, so anyone can expect it. As a person who passed the millennium era, the stories of that time were reminiscent of those days. This movie has no outstanding or big personality, but it can be seen as a work that tells a simple story well with the power of analog sensibility. This work does not have an original work, but it is director Bang Woo-ri’s creation. But when I watch a movie, I feel like I’ve seen it before. As such, it has a very similar development to the analog emotional romance that has been produced. It is a bit disappointing that this movie does not feel its own special personality while sticking to the common feelings of first love stories and memories of old love. However, it is a calm movie that combines the acting of supporting actors such as Kim Yu-jung and Sesame Salt, so if you have time, you can watch it.
