Early teenage me would've loved this movie.
That Kind of Love is a cheesy movie flooded with blandly executed cliches. It’s a lighthearted, medium-paced romcom with corny romantic scenes and little to no comedy. If I take a shot every time I cringe, I will get wasted.
The story is easy to follow and ends nicely. Despite being anti-climatic, it still has a deserved happy ending. The wardrobe choices for the leads are tolerable. Mila's outfits are cute, but her office looks aren't up to professional standards. The soundtrack is good, and the colour-grading is nice for the scenes in South Korea.
Aside from the cliche tropes, the movie's other flaw is the discrepancy in the acting skills. Despite the overuse of eye-rolling to emphasise annoyance, Barbie knows how to make distinguishable expressions. On the other hand, David showed the same expression for different emotions. Adam looks like an emotionless, smug-faced robot at all times. It made the corny scenes less bearable and made interactions look awkward.
I consider this a filler movie and not a must-watch. Watch this if you want something unserious to watch in your spare time. I watched this at different mealtimes, so the movie doesn't feel like a complete waste of time.
