Una chica del siglo XX (2022)

Woon Ho didn't deserve that ?

Byeon Woo Seok, was really good and so was Kim Yoo Jung, but I really hate the fact that the movie was a sad one, and it made me cry so much. Thats the reason why I hate timetravel or time skipping going back to look at their memories movies. Bruh the fact that Woon Ho died, was so sad, and their love was so genuine and sweet, maybe I shouldn’t watch movies because of the male lead, anyways all I have to say is that this movie brought a lake of tears out of me, the amount of time I took crying just watching this movie was quite embarrassing considering it's acting. ? ? ? ? ?. My heart literally broke for Woon Ho, so I'm going to watch his upcoming dramas to make up for the pain that this movie has brought to me.

Good Enough

Korean movie " 20th Century Girl " is a romantic comedy with a bittersweet feeling.

The story is masterfully presented, by utilizing the misunderstanding twist and making it work. It is youthful, nostalgic, and presents a sweet love story.

The performances, in addition, were all great by all the actors and actresses in the cast. But the leading lady stole the show admittedly.

However, the ending could have been handled better, as it left a lot of plot holes and it wasn't as good as the rest of the movie. Not that the conclusion wasn't interesting, but it wasn't explained. Rather, it was rushed.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

A movie that made me travel to a past that wasn't mine

Rarely do we come across movies that are so predictable yet so good. There were so many moments that I could relate to. It felt so close to my heart and that is why it hurt deeply.
I especially loved the cinematography and effect they gave to show 90s era. It made me so nostalgic and I wished like a fool to travel back to that time.
I loved how they made us think hyun Jin was the lead when in fact it was woonho.
The friendship dynamics were so real. I absolutely loved the plot twist, if made me cry out aloud. In short, this film made me feel every emotion especially the feeling of being in love. The love that feels amazing and hurts your heart at the same time.
10/10 would watch it again.
Recommended to anyone looking for a bittersweet romance.

I will never recover from this - Recommended!

This movie was just wow. It was a roller coaster full of emotions. The acting was amazing and I loved the two main characters (still do). If you ask me, will I rewatch this again? Yes, I will. Even if it breaks my heart again? Yes, I will.

20th century girl made me bawl my eyes out. It was so beautiful yet so sad. The first time I watched the movie I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought I would just be watching a sweet high school romance with A HAPPY ENDING!! It was indeed not a happy ending. When Bo-Ra finally confessed her feelings to Woon-Ho I really wished he would've just stayed even if it was just for a day. Watching them call on the phone all the time and seeing Bo-Ra age, waiting for him to come back was one of the saddest things to watch. I despised Woon-Ho for it, I thought he moved on and went on with his life in New-Zealand. Him not picking up, not messaging her, deep down I could feel it coming, but I refused to believe it. When Woon-ho's little brother, Joseph, finally broke the news to Bo-Ra, I was glad she was finally able to move on and to live her life without having to keep waiting. Even though I wished Joseph would've told her sooner, the expedition was a really nice touch to the movie and it was beautifully done.

Although I wished for it 20th century girl to have a different ending, it just shows that no matter what, you should just go on with your life and move on instead of waiting. Moving on and making the decision to do so is hard especially when you're holding on to the past and pain, but eventually it will help you to live your life the way you want to live it.

Great

Everyone should watch this movie. There was no better way, in my opinion, to depict a first love or the value of friendship. I've seen a lot of dramas and love stories, but I believe "20th century girl" captures the innocence of first love the best. A little portion of the reason why the movie is so amazing is the method by which the viewer comes to understand Bora and her character throughout the film. One of the clearest and most genuine portrayals of character development I have seen in a while is hers. Overall, every character is written so genuinely that one can comprehend their decisions and ideas, not just hers.

Happy ever after......NOT

The story starts off as a typical high-school drama. We have two girl best friends and two guy best friends, though not much screen time is devoted towards the later two. The main character played by Kim Yoo Jung is a happy, guy beating, food loving person which seems to have populated the recent Kdrama. But above all, she is a loyal friend who steps aside her love for her friend and who can blame her. Her friend just had a heart surgery.
Based on the synopsis, you might think how can Kim Yoo Jung character fall in love with the person her friend had already set her sight on and the thing is, she did not. Due to the mix up of name tag and no SNS to spy on the people you like, this creates the conflict inside Kim Yoo Jung character to choose between friendship and love which moves the plot forward. While watching, you might fell if they just talk it out everything can be solved (and it does, surprise Pikahu face), you need to understand that these are teenagers going through their first love so these are acceptable.
So, it is basically a cliche high-school love story with no surprises, you would think. But the thing that bugged me from the start was they showed the adult character for Kim Yoo Jung, played by the talented Han Hyo Joo, who seemed single which pointed at something dramatic will happen. The ending was not what I expected, It is not a happy ending this cliche filled story hinted at and you are filled with sadness and red eyes from all the tears that pour out your feelings.
So, if you are looking for a fluffy love story where the characters end up happy ever after, this is not it. But if you have some tears to spare, you should definitely watch this movie, with some napkins around of course.

20th Century Girl was going strong as a light, fluff and full on cliche teen romance with cute characters, fun interaction and a bit of 90’ nostalgia, until the writers decided to be “ambitious” and give it a random, unfitting and poorly executed ending to make the movie “more memorable”. And I’m here questioning why? I get it, as a writer you don’t want to start your career with a cute, but not memorable rom-com, but what we’ve got here is not the way to go.

What went well? Most of the characters are likable, even if they lacked depth. Bora was your typical energetic and bubbly girl, Woon Ho was a perfect first love material with his warm demeanor, and Hyun Jin was the most fun and entertaining of the group. Sadly, the writer did Kim Yeon Doo dirty presenting her in rather unflattering light - clueless about the situation she was in, not getting a hint about the relations people around her have, defined by her circumstances and the illness - little to no info about her as a person.

Surprisingly, I adored all the piling misunderstandings. All of them presented in a light and heartwarming way, showing the mistakes most of us made when we were teens facing our first love.

What’s more - 20th Century Girl is simply beautiful. The use of light and shadows gave me goosebumps more than once. I am a sucker for good dim aesthetics.

So what went wrong? For a movie that is 2 hours long, we truly did not know much about the characters. Halfway through the movie I started to question, how there is still an hour to go and why are we not exploring any of the circumstances the characters are in?

The acting was also not mind blowing. Maybe I expected too much from this cast, but with a plot so simple and full of well known cliches, the performances are what carry it. Here, while everyone did a great job, none of the portrayals of the characters was truly unforgettable. My biggest issues were the more emotional scenes - they did not resonate at all. Maybe because Kim Yoo Jung tried to tap deep into the overly emotional teen, but her crying was more annoying and less moving than I would like.

By now, everyone knows the ending is just disappointing. I honestly don’t have an issue with the idea the writer had for it, but the execution was simply bad - no set up, no explanation, no message to tie it all together, no nothing.

Overall, it’s a decent movie, bringing back many memories of my teen romances and for that I am grateful. It’s not exactly memorable, nor innovative, nor a simple feel good watch. Tries to stand out in the sea of teen rom-coms with the ending, but fails to truly deliver a cohesive narrative that leads to this conclusion.

I thought it was a light-hearted movie yet it ended up tragically

Queen YooJung made it again. I actually miss watching YooJung and I haven't seen her on both movies and dramas for a while so I really got excited about this new movie. And as usual she delivers. I missed her youthful appearance in a show. I still can't see her doing mature roles. She's still teen and a high school fairy for me.

Enough of YooJung though, let's get int the plot. I was actually ecstatic watching the first hour. I saw myself giggling, laughing and relating to the characters. It took me back to those high school crushes days that everyone might have experienced. Then I get that along the way, conflict must arise and I kind of predicted it from the beginning. Everything is all good until after WoonHo left. I felt like they should've ended it there but they just thought it would be nice to have a twist. I didn't feel heartbroken that he died. I feel mad that I was hoping a happy ending yet they gave me a tragedy, It's my personal agony though.

If you've been reading through this, I hoped you've watched the movie already because I basically spilled everything here. I warned though that spoilers are here. I still loved the movie though and myghad, there's a lot of oppa's here. I never thought of Byeon Woo Seok until this movie. I just discovered a new oppa to add on my list. Anyway, overall. This is still a fairly good movie to watch so I still highly recommend it specially for fans of YooJung.
