A NEW romantic Netflix movie has been labelled as ‘perfect’ with fans claiming that it's even better than Normal People and as good as One Day.
The newly released 'beautiful' Korean American romance titled Past Lives has left fans bawling uncontrollably.
The Oscar-nominated film, starring Greta Lee and Teo Yoo, recently landed on Netflix UK, and fans are highly impressed with the romantic drama directed by Celine Song and developed by American film production company A24.
Past Lives tells the story of two childhood friends, Na and Hae Sun, whose lives drastically change after she moves to North America with her family.
The film's official synopsis reads: “Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrest apart after Nora's family emigrates from South Korea.

Past Lives recently won Best Feature at the Independent Spirit Award and has been nominated for Best Picture at the upcoming Oscars.
After amassing over $24million at the box office, the critically acclaimed movie was added to the UK’s Netflix platform.
Since its release ten days ago, viewers have taken to X( formerly Twitter) and raved about the 'beautiful' portrayal of lost love and the challenges of migration.
One user penned: “Super late to the party, but Past Lives is sublime. Incredible performance that says so much with body language and silence.”
Another viewer referenced the hit Sally Rooney TV adaptation starring Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones, saying: “Normal People walked so that Past Lives could run!”
A third added: “One of the best films of awards season.”
“Beautifully acted and directed. The screenplay is PERFECT,” typed a fourth fan.
Someone else chimed: “Between Past Lives and One Day, I'm really getting my fill of wistful, depressing, beautiful love stories this weekend.”
Past Lives premiered in cinemas last September, and since then, it has received a new lease of life.
Harry makes big William admission as he says ‘it never had to be this way’
Accepting the award for Best Feature at the Spirit Awards, Celine Song said: “There is a concept in our film, it’s an Eastern concept, and it is about how finding and being in the same space and time in this life means that we actually knew each other for many, many lives that came before this one.
“And I think that making this movie, I have felt this way about everybody who’s on stage here, and I know that they have felt the same.
“Accepting the best feature award on behalf of all of them and on behalf of our team, it’s a feeling that I get where I feel, you know, so less lonely because I know that everybody here feels the same, too.”
Most recently, Netflix viewers have complained that a newly rebooted noughties TV show has been ‘butchered’ by plot changes, the use of CGI and green screen effects.
The hotly-anticipated return of Avatar: The Last Airbender has left fans divided since it was released on the streamer's platform last week.
Past Lives is available to stream on Netflix.
