30 Days (2023)

I actually laughed a lot - rare for me

Yeah, the amnesia bit is not believable, but this is a movie, right? The bottom line is the acting was awesome, the leads totally nailed it. Without their spot on acting this really could have gone off the rails. And, most of all, even though I watched this on a plane from Taipei to Osaka, I laughed a lot! And practically nothing makes me laugh these days, so the writers really did their job. I will have to get my wife to watch this (she was watching something else on the plane).

So, as far as the negative reviews, I guess those folks have even less of a sense of humor than I do :-). Just give it a try. I think most people will really enjoy it. Just relax, suspend belief, and prepare for a wild ride.

BTW, some people said it was predictable. But one aspect of this that got me laughing was some of the comedic bits took me completely by surprise. Like, what the heck? LOL!

watched it for Jung So Min at first, but in the end I loved everything about it

Love Reset is a delightful romcom that had me laughing from start to finish. The movie cleverly embraces cliché scenes and over-exaggerated acting, creating a humorous atmosphere. The comedic timing in the film is spot-on, and it effectively balances the dramatic and comedic elements in its storytelling. The film delves into their past relationship, exploring the reasons behind their decision to divorce and the challenges they face in rediscovering their love for each other. Themes of forgiveness, second chances, and the importance of communication in relationships are skillfully woven into the narrative. What I appreciated most about Love Reset is that it stays true to its genre, delivering a lighthearted and fun experience. While it touches on the complexities of marriage and the pursuit of second chances in love, it never loses its light and enjoyable tone.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed watching "Love Reset" and would give it an 8/10 rating. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a feel-good romcom that will leave you with a smile on your face.

RUIM.... NÃO VALE A PENA ASSISTIR

A história do filme era promissora, mas não foi bem executada. Nem mesmo como comédia eu classifico esse filme. O que eu assisti foram piadas sem graça, de mal gosto e algumas vezes ofensivas. A personagem feminina de decepcionou profundamente, totalmente IDIOTA. Fiquei frustrado por essa personagem ser interpretada pela Jung So Min, pois acho que foi horrível para sua imagem como atriz.
Já assisti cenas horríveis (ruins) em filmes, mas aquela da personagem feminina (Jung So Min) estar de fones de ouvido, no aeroporto, enquanto o marido estava falando com ela é uma das piores. Se era para ser engraçado, não foi. Chega a ser desrespeitoso com as pessoas que dedicaram seu tempo para assistir esse filme.

Resumindo.... não perca tempo com esse filme, não vale a pena.

rom com of the year and it's only feb

Haven't watched a rom-com this good in a long, long time. Every scene felt natural, not a single thing reminded me that this was a script these actors were reading off. Both the leads and the cast looked comfortable around each other. This was a joy to watch. I am a sucker for these kind of plotlines so I ate this story up and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend anyone and everyone to watch it.

acting- goooooooooooood
nsfw - in the kmovie industry its ok, no closeups just feelings which was extremely adorable and personally i loved
heart strings tugged: yes! but could have been a bit more but no reason to pull the rating down i guess because i worked with what i had.

Frog-like laugh

Your husband / wife should not only make you happy, but also make you angry. Going together through laughing and yelling, through romance and fighting make for the best partnership and this movie shows it. This romantic comedy is fully with unique characters that provide many unexpected funny moments and it made me laugh a lot. The actors all did a great job, but i especially liked the absurd frog-like laughing from the male actor Kang Ha Neul. As with others movies of the same genre, the comedy serves to highlight the message of love that survives all the challenges. here it is presented through a reset of relationship which was used well for both the comedy and romance.

Note that there are post-ending gags, and an credits scene and also a post-credit scene. Everything in the movie is made for the enjoyment and i did have a fun Sunday night with it. Hope you will too!

Funny and entertaining romcom, but has been done better in k-dramas

I enjoyed this movie. It had maybe comical scenes and interesting characters. I loved the mother-in-law who, in the end, only wanted her daughter's happiness.

The movie was filled with tropes, but I felt the movie was using them to wink at its audience.

But what I found disappointing about this movie is that little explanation was given to show us why they fell in love. When at the end, the ML is asked to remember all the good memories and all he manages is to remember all the bad ones instead and decides it doesn't matter. I understand this was because there were no such scenes to begin with, proving my point. All we saw was why they wanted a divorce. This felt a bit unbalanced.

There also was no explanation given as to why the relationship went downhill. The FL was a bit of a slob, according to the ML, and the ML tended to be fastidious.

Without understanding what went wrong, and no character growth whatsoever, I see their relationship as history that is doomed to repeat itself.

But I feel that several dramas did a better job of handling the "love reset" theme. Go Back Couple, time travel is used to "reset" the relationship, but the theme is the same. Just like Love Reset, the beginning starts with the end of the relationship, but by the end, both the audience and the characters understand what led them there, and what went wrong and how to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

If you want a quick and funny movie without any depth this is for you. If you want to explore the theme more satisfyingly, Go Back Couple is for you.

Lacked the Emotions

After the whole lot of yourube shorts recommendation of this Film I finally watched it. Its a fun plot with good acting but I feel it might have done better as a Drama wherein the writers could have shown more deeply into the emotions of the main and side characters....i just couldnt feel the presence of side characters and their importance. Also some characters were so annoying like i just fast forwarded at so many points..... I just couldnt feel any emotions building up in me.... neither to laugh or to cry or pure rage....at certain points i did find it Gross though.
Maybe a deeper insight into as to why the main leads changed so much after marriage would have been interesting

Bitter, sweet, fun

Like most who watched this, I enjoyed it. I watched it with my wife, and we both laughed a lot throughout. We've been married nearly as long as the leads have have been alive, so the OTT rage was genuinely funny for us. Sveral have commented on the chemistry between Jeong So Min and Kang Ha Neul, and there's no question that was central to the movie's success. Both delivered very good performances, and Jeong So Min especially cemented my high opion of her as an actor. The first thing my wife said when Jeong So Min first appeared on screen in this movie was"she's really pretty". and obviously I can't disagree. But her range even in a light romcom like this was impressive. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting an uncomplicated and genuinely funny romance

on an airplane from Incheon with maybe the love of my life...

It's a great movie with good humour. The love story could've been better. It lacked a bit of drama and character development. The ending had some good potential but it kinda missed the mark. There should've been some back and forth from the characters but it didn't. I though the actors were really good but it felt American more than Korean (lack of back and forth).

Sidenote: sitting next to me, in the airplane, was an awesome girl from Japan. She was a breath of fresh air. Her personality was incredible. We clicked a lot even if her English was terrible. I have known a lot of women in the Europe and America so I know a good quality woman when I see one. Unfortunately, she was only 16 and I'm much older...
