There are Lei Zhi sharing + recommendation
Because the story is set in 1999, there are many retro props in the play, such as BB call, big telephone, large computer, phone booth, videotape, etc., which not only adds to the atmosphere of the end of the century, but also makes people feel nostalgic.
This one is a little similar to "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One", both have descriptions of youth and friendship, but "20th Century Girl" is more inky about the description of love. Without too much embellishment, without an overly complex plot, it quickly allows the audience to enter that simple sense of romance, although it is a pity that there are not too many sweet shots, but this is youth, always with some regretful youth.
Some of the female protagonists in the casting are really the best choice to play by Kim Yu-jung, her lively and cheerful atmosphere, natural and unpretentious appearance not only make the two male protagonists moved, even the audience I will be moved, in the face of the confusion between friendship and love also played very well.
Although the plot of this drama cannot be said to be very good, after all, there are still similar plots, but the middle turn and the final ending are well written, which will give people a feeling of a small accident, and everyone can also watch this when they have time, and they will remember the appearance of their love at the beginning of the year.
