This movie isn't as cliché or predictable as one would think... certainly I didn't think so! I went in to this movie expecting a completely different outcome! However, the entire movie is really sweet without being too heavy on Christmas and has just enough romance to be in that genre; it's more slice-of-life romance, I think. Ikuta Toma and Aiba Masaki were really great in this (they both played characters that seemed different than their usual), but I would have liked to see them interact more, but that's just my personal preference since I really like the way they both act. This is a really good movie, sweet and silly without being too tragic of a love story. I really hope more people will watch this story!
