This upcoming Netflix K-movie looks so sweet and darling, evincing the same playbook as many such predecessors which take the young love from an earlier era and bring it forth to today as adults. Introduction to Architecture did it with juxtaposing time periods but for 20th Century Girl it looks like the movie will stick with the 1999 period high school years led by Kim Yoo Jung in a love triangle between Byun Woo Seok and Park Jung Woo and her friendship with Roh Yoon Seo. There will be cameos by Han Hyo Joo, Gong Myung, and Ong Seung Woo which leads me to think they are playing the adult versions of the leads in 2019. I also think its sweet for a third go-around of Kim Yoo Jung playing the younger version of Han Hyo Joo, doing it when she was a kid for Iljimae and Dong Yi and now its swapped as this movie is more Han Hyo Joo playing the adult version of Kim Yoo Jung who the story revolves around. The movie will be released on October 21st on Netflix.
Trailer for 20th Century Girl:
wow I actually thought it would be a drama. But this is turn out to be a movie? Miss Kim Yoo Jung already
Bring me back to 1999 our 20th Century Girl, Kim Yoo Jung! Haaayyyy, High School first love, pager, camcorder. I miss that era. Can’t wait to watch Yoo Jung in this movie!
I’m really excited to watch it!
But I’m disapointed by the fact they changed the actors for the adult version. It was why I never could completely love the TW movie Our Times. The scenes are too short to find the same chemistry.
Looking forward alreadyto this movie. October 21 please come faster!
I’m glad they were chosen and promoted well at Busan International Film Festival. It looks so promising!
I love the trailer!!!
The almost 1 year wait for this movie is finally over! Kim Yoo Jung fighting! Thanks for attending the open talk at Busan.
I’m reading good reviews from the people who watched it in advance at Busan Film Fest. How can I wait for more days?
I’m excited with this movie, and it was further fuelled by that 10 minute preview release on YT (c/o featured in a KBS show). And the team led by Kim Yoo Jung were so cute at the Busan Film Fest.
