What Is Love Untangled About?
Set in 1998 South Korea, the film follows Park Se-ri, a high school student with perpetually curly hair who’s desperate to confess her feelings to the most popular boy in school. Convinced her wild curls are standing between her and love, she enlists the help of Han Yun-seok, a charming transfer student — who quickly gets swept up in her whole romantic mission.
It’s pure late-90s nostalgia wrapped in a K-drama bow. Think school uniforms, cassette tapes, and all the awkward, heart-fluttering energy of a first crush. Honestly? We’re already hooked.
According to What’s on Netflix, the film is part of Netflix’s August 2025 K-drama lineup — which is already stacked.
Meet the Cast
The film brings together a fresh and exciting ensemble of Korean talent:
- Shin Eun-soo as Park Se-ri — best known from A Model Family and Do Sol Sol La La Sol, this is her first Netflix lead role
- Gong Myung as Han Yun-seok — previously seen in the beloved 20th Century Girl and Be Melodramatic on Netflix
- Cha Woo-min as Kim Hyeon — Se-ri’s popular school crush and the object of her confession mission
- Youn Sang-hyun as Baek Seong-rae — Se-ri’s desk mate and co-conspirator in her confession plans
- Kang Mi-na as Ko In-jeong — a familiar face from Welcome to Samdal-ri and My Roommate Is a Gumiho
The casting is spot-on. Shin Eun-soo’s breakout lead moment feels well overdue, and Gong Myung is always a delight to watch.
