This Netflix coming-of-age dramedy is one of many modern stories that riffs on the play "Cyrano de Bergerac." To put it simply, it's essentially a story where one person speaks through another person to woo a love interest. In "The Half of It," football player Paul Munsky pays Ellie Chu to write love letters to his crush, Aster Flores. Ellie can help her father pay the bills and Paul gets the girl, or so you think. In the process, Ellie actually befriends Paul and falls for Aster. Meanwhile, thinking Paul's words are his own, Aster's actually catching feelings for Ellie. Now, that's a love triangle!
