What's wrong with these Asian screenwriters??
I started watching this movie while I was ironing clothes and I didn't have any particular expectation. Halfway through the film I grabbed the iron backwards and burbed my hand so much I was captured by the plot, I was enjoying the funny scenes and the acting..and then it happened again..Ok sending ML away and having him disappear at a certain point, it may happen, I can take it...but why did he have to die???
In Western films and series, the great problem would have been the reaction of the best friend when realizing that the boy she likes fell in love with FL and was reciprocated. Here she acts so mature (as they always do in kdramas) and friendship is saved, so why did it have to end like this???
I think I will watch this film over and over again, but alway stopping at the train station scene. A goodbye is always better than a farewell.

watch at your own heart’s risk
do not bait me in like that have me smiling like an idiot and then just crush the entirety of my being in one fell swoop.i feel scammed i feel a lot of things right now mostly the tears running down my face. thank you very much for that by the way. i have school in the morning.
can i just ask to whoever wrote the script. who hurt you? who?
anyways shattered heart aside acting was great. didn’t really focus on the music so no strong opinions on that. casting beautifully done. storyline i gave that a 5 ONLY BECAUSE of the first half you know what you did in the second.
watch it if u want to be happy and then suffer.

BITTER SWEET
The Sweet (LIKES):Cinematography, locations, colour pallet, all visually pleasing.
The nostalgia with the VCR tapes, camcorder, etc. was fun.
Well chosen cast. Good chemistry between Kim Too Jung, Byeon Woo Seok and Park Jung Woo, as the three main leads. Acting was okay.
Production: Finally a South Korean movie that uses a film stabilizer for the most part, (still some shaky moments though)!
I liked the ending, but
The Bitter (DISLIKES):
WRITING: Wish this was a series instead of a movie, so that there was more back story for the main characters, more character growth and better impact of certain moments in the story. Too many loopholes in the plot, unexplained/unresolved moments. This was the usual teen drama. Timing of showing the leads as high school, university and adults, was off and very abrupt. Script was lacking too.
OVERALL:
I didn’t mind the ending, but it seemed a cheap way to get a reaction from the viewers, due to the under developed story. It’s an easy watch, with not too much angst. I recommend it for the audience it was made for (teens). And I would watch it again.

Too much into a small movie
This had potential. The cast is fantastic and I really wish this was a series rather than a movie. There were a lot of details as to what could have happened between the two main leads, but you can only fit so much into a film. As I am writing and deleting what I want to say about this review, I'm starting to understand why the short film. I think the impact of a short film with all the details that could have been expanded in a series was shortened here. But I was left unsatisfied and empty. The unknown as to why the ML died still doesn't make sense to me. Did I miss something? Did I overlook symbolic meaning? Was there a sentence that explained this but I skipped it? Also, what was the reason to film the sunrise? So many unanswered questions that I just didn't understand which is why my rating is low.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Whoever casted the leads, did a great job!
A spoiler free review of this coming-of-age movie with a bittersweet ending of a young couple and their best friends in the year 1999. And yeah, Byeon Wooseok is incredible! Not to forget Kim Youjung is so adorable in here. The story is fresh and gives the vibe similar to "Twenty Five Twenty One" but with a better ending and shortened time with no bullshit dragging around. Had a good watch. Definitely recommended.You will laugh, smile, cry along with them and understand the love they had in between.
P.S.- Han Hyojoo appears in this movie as well. She is amazingly awesome as the adult Na Bora.

Disappointing plot but great nostalgic scenery!
The movie starts off pretty well since its entertaining to see how the FL gets to know the ML and his friend, especially through her mischiefs. But it ends up going down the cliché route halfway through the movie: the FL and her friend end up liking the same guy so FL lies to the guy about her feelings. This makes the plot frustrating and hard to watch. It's not very creative and doesn't make the characters seem thoughtful or relatable. If anything, it made the FL seem irresponsible for making the people around her confused and left in the dark. Although I think Yoo Jung's acting is pretty good, its the scriptwriters who mostly failed this part of the movie.The other main cast members had mediocre acting, especially the two male leads. Though, I do feel a nice bit of chemistry between Yoo Jung and the two!
Overall, the little things like her school, family, and friendships are heartwarming and fun. The nostalgic vibe and the cinematography were stunning. But that's mostly what uplifts the movie for me. And I know a lot of people are unhappy about the ending, but that's what helped me feel some strong emotions, especially with the video tape at the end. It was heart-wrenching and I like actress Hyo Joo's moments there. Without the ending, I would probably give this a 5.
I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this movie but if you want to watch a light-hearted romcom with a mediocre cliche plot, and don't mind a sad ending, go for it...

Pretty boring tbh
A tale as old as time. Nothing new to see. Cheerful, dumb and heart of gold girl likes guy but doesn't admit it cause best friend likes him too. I got pretty bored after the first half. Also the ending is so stupid. There was no need to put a sad ending here but they did it cause why not. I thought this series would be great based on the rating but it is pretty meh. Kinda disappointed cause I was expecting more. I predicted almost most of the time what was going to happened, so I wasn't awed by anything at all. Even that unnecessary ending. Pretty boring but it is okay i guessEsta resenha foi útil para você?
One Question: Why did it end like that???
This drama had the potential to work more, write on more and potray something more beautiful. But it Just ended up leaving me with a simple question.Why the hell did the ML have to die???? like what does it have to do with plot and storyline! did he have a disease?? nothing! they just wanted a sad ending and boom! There we go!
it was a stupid writing to start with. a Great movie with all needed for a hit and all. plot flowing nicely and my rating going up until last ep...Jeez. I think I wasted my time.
