What's On Tonight (Friday): What Tangled Hair We Weave...

    

Love Untangled

I'm giving Top Pick to the Korean teen romantic comedy Love Untangled mainly because there is nothing that remotely interests me premiering today.  Everything else looks depressing and/or violent or, as in the case of Apple original KPOPPED, stirs feelings of depression and violence in my soul.  At least Love Untangled looks cute.

TOP PICK

⭐🎥 Love Untangled (Netflix, 3:01 AM) 'A lovestruck teen plans to win the school heartthrob by going from curly to straight hair -- until a new transfer student changes everything.'
