Mischievous Kiss The Movie: The Proposal (2017)

Don't romanticize toxic behaviors

I'll summarize the story without giving any spoilers: Imagine a kid who has a toy in the bottom of his trunk, a toy he doesn't like, doesn't care about, isn't interested in, doesn't value, and keeps throwing it around without caring if the toy breaks, because he doesn't give a damn. Until one day, when someone sees this toy and asks if they can keep it, take care of it, then the kid throws a tantrum and says he loves the toy and clings to it. But as soon as this person leaves, the kid kicks the toy into a corner. That's it for 3 movies. 🤢🤬

NOTE: There is a very cute boy in all 3 movies, who really loves her and treats her like a princess. I was rooting for him and not for the toxic jerk.😥

NOTE 2: This shouldn't be called a romance. Don't romanticize toxic behaviors. If you identify with this character, find a therapist.

While I'm still not the biggest fan of this movie, at least it was better than the second.

I found myself connecting to Kotoko a bit more here, probably because there were more dramatic scenes. I also loved her kind-of friendship with Matsumoto in this one. That being said, I came for her romance with the handsome Irie--and in this movie, I felt nothing for them. Sure, I felt happy by the end of the movie, but I didn't feel the same level of elation as I did when I finished the drama.

[Quick spoilers]
The wedding scene was incredibly disappointing as well. It was one of my favorite parts in the drama, but it was just so quickly run through here. There wasn't any dreaminess or whimsy in it. Irie's "Talk" with Kinnosuke also left me feeling bothered and disappointed.
[End spoilers]

Anyway, if you're a huge fan of the drama and/or the anime, you might find yourself let down by the movie remakes. Maybe give it a shot if you're in a really good, lovesick mood.
