‘That Kind of Love’ Netflix Movie Review - Enemies to Half Lovers

That kind of love on Netflix is a film revolving around Mila and Adam. While the girl is a dating coach and helps people find love, the boy is a rich man who owns and runs a successful business. There are very few people left now who want to actually fall in love and get married to the same person. Mila turns this feeling into reality and helps people cross the hurdles of their relationships. Adam doesn't like the concept mainly because he is too self-obsessed. They both had met earlier randomly in a bar and later on, met at a mutual friend's wedding. Adam was initially reluctant to understand Mila and her area of work. Since their first meeting, a mutual attraction can be observed in their body language. It takes a lot of time and effort for these two to realize what they feel for each other. I won't say that their love story was cute because it lacked conviction.

Adam kept the girl as a personal assistant and his dating coach. Though the boy had multiple serious relationships in the past he never made it to the end as the girls would give up on him or even the idea of him. Here comes Mila, who took the job of finding him the right girl in exchange for a hefty sum of money. There are several movements in which both realize the love and the feelings they share for each other. Despite this, they couldn't come closer and talk about why it was basically because no one between them was ready to confess to their feelings. There are great scenes included and two-thirds of the movie is worth watching. Many relevant scenarios from modern dating life have been included to make the storybook look more realistic and it adds to the charm unless everything is destroyed.

In my opinion, the actors playing the role of Mila and Adam had great chemistry. It was enough to deliver an enemy-to-lovers trope however, everything got ruined in the last 30 minutes of the movie. Broadly speaking, the film can be divided into three parts i.e., enemies, confused state, and half lovers. I didn't like the ending because it went against what was shown in the earlier scenes. Adam was always a private person so when he proposed to Mila in front of everyone it came as a shock. Be it Mila's wardrobe or shooting location everything, things appeared cute and we were potentially looking at a great romantic film. The makers and the writers were confused about how to make this film work and they failed terribly. Initially, the plot seemed unique and interesting yet somehow things didn't end the way one would have expected. Recently I have observed that it is a trend in Filipino movies that they take the leads to Korea and that's when the turning point occurs. The duration of the movie is more than two hours and it was more than enough time to make it a hit.

Final Score – [6/10]
