Set in Busan in 1998, Love Untangled tells the story of Park Se Ri (Shin Eun Soo) - a girl who is always self-conscious because of her curly hair.
She believes that only when her hair is "governed" will she have enough courage to confess her love to the guy she likes - Kim Hyun ( Cha Woo Min). However, things change when Se Ri gets caught up in a relationship with Han Yoon Seok (Gong Myung) - a new student transferred from Seoul.
The film officially premiered on August 29 and received positive reviews about the colorful story of youth, the harmonious and lovely acting of the main couple Shin Eun Soo - Gong Myung.
Thanks to that, after 2 weeks of showing, "Puppet Love Story" still maintains its appeal, rising from 3rd place to the top of Netflix's weekly non-English-language film chart, while attracting 8.2 million views.
The achievements of the work far surpassed Duc's film "Em chi muon minh anh" (Fall For Me). The work ranked 2nd with 5.4 million views.
Previously, sharing about Doll Heart Story, Shin Eun Soo said that of all the roles she has played, Se Ri is the one with the strongest and brightest energy.
Se Ri looks like me the most when she is with friends. Taking on such an energetic role is interesting because I get to show another side of myself, she said.
To transform into a character, the actress spent a lot of time learning the local language of Busan, while grasping the story - each segment and dialogue to best suit her co-star.
Meanwhile, Gong Myung confessed that Yoon Seok is a challenging character to himself when he has to take on the role of a high school student at the age of 31.
People say I look more like a teacher than a student. But I have tried very hard to adapt. I hope I can be remembered as everyone's first love this year".
Along with Dream of a Puppet, there are 3 other Korean dramas that have been noticed on Netflixs non-English film chart: The author of abuse, Dream of a Lawyer and Horses.
