Hmm...Let me start this off by saying that I rarely watch Japanese movies/drama these days. After growing tired of all the almost ridiculous over-dramatic effects, somewhere along the line I just gave up on them altogether. There was too much of it and it impacted the sincerity of the actual story. But this? ...Haha. I actually waited for it. Every now and then I'd think to myself, "Ah. Not long left now!" and wonder when I'd be able to get my hands on some English subtitles. I read the manga once. A long time ago. I barely remember what actually happened in it, but the warm feeling I got from it I didn't forget, so I gave it chance. I thought that, just maybe, this film could help me get back into Japanese drama. Did it? Let's just say I went from 20% likely to watch one to 70%. The Story: Cliche. You know what's going to happen. If you've watched enough RomCom stuff like I have you just know and no matter how many times you wish for something else to happen 9/10 those dreams don't come true. It's not super awesome: no Healer or Peach Girl. But...the twists and turns give it a little of a special sparkle. It did anything but bore me despite knowing how it'd all end up. Those annoying little effects they do were actually funny this time around, though maybe that's just because I haven't seen any in a long time. There wasn't so much that it just became a slapstick comedy and to be honest, it fitted the whole drama well - really well. With all the talk of heroines and side-characters it was almost - ALMOST - needed. The Acting: No major flaws here. Again a bit...dramatic at times, so dramatic it occasionally felt too theatrical to get absorbed in 100% - in true Japanese drama fashion, in my experience anyway. But I cried. And if they make me cry, twice at that, then they did the job well! The Music: Hmm...Average? Certainly appropriate but...'samey'. Not that all the tracks were the same, but so familiar that you feel like you've already heard it elsewhere: if that makes sense? Just above standard. Stirs the emotions well but there's a very slim chance I'd ever purchase the OST in comparison to some other competitors. Pretty good though. The Rewatch Value: Ah. Now this is one point I wanted to make. Despite not remembering the contents of the manga I purposefully didn't go back and read it. Why? So the film could renew it afresh for me. It's very rare that I rewatch anything from start to finish because guessing where it's all going to end up or play out is half of the fun to me. Yet in saying that the characters are cute. It's the sort of film I'd likely watch again in a year or so on a rainy night with a mouth full of popcorn with a hot chocolate at the ready. True RomCom stuff. Summary: I have no regrets. I enjoyed it.
