Our take
Love Untangled is a Korean teen romantic comedy on Netflix without a US rating. Most of the film is light school crush humor with mild profanity and beer references. Reviews note a later domestic-violence subplot involving a student's home life that shifts the tone. Fine for teens, but preview the final act if your child is sensitive to family abuse themes
Uplifting themes
Friendship, responsibility, and standing up for peers emerge
Story (may spoil tone)
A lovestruck teen plans to win the school heartthrob by going from curly to straight hair — until a new transfer student changes everything.
