Netflix’s 20th Century Girl, directed by Bang Woo-ri, is a South Korean romantic drama set in 1999 and revolves around 17-year-old high school student Na Bo-Ra. To help her best friend Yeon-du learn more about her crush on Baek Hyun-jin, Na Bo-Ra uses her athletic and bright personality to get closer to him and find out everything about him that Yeon-du has been away from.
Na Bo-Ra decides to use the oldest trick in the book, which is to approach Hyun-jin’s best friend, Poong Un-ho, to keep an eye on him. However, he soon finds himself in a relationship of his own in the process.
