This movie tries to point out that there is more to a person beyond their pretty face, but ironically, the actor's pretty faces are the only thing keeping this movie alive.

The plot revolves around our FL learning that her online crush is more than a pretty face. Which could have been a great plot with the theme of "there's more than meets the eyes" but sadly nothing really happened. Most of the movie is spent fawning over our ML's looks and we don't really learn much about our ML. He verbally says his looks are the cause of his problems, but we don't really see him battling any inner demons or being hindered by his looks in any ways. Because of this, it's hard to believe he has any real problems because of his looks. All we end up seeing is a guy who claims he has low self esteem.

Similarly, our FL doesn't really do much to help our ML with his issues. She still fawns over his looks and says she loves his personality, but that's it. There is no real situation where she can prove her love for him is not just his looks, so everything just seems superficial.

Despite my complaints about the plot, the movie was fun to watch. If you don't think too hard about the plot and just gush over the hot actors and actresses, the movie really isn't too bad. The movie is based on a shoujo manga and it's target audience is probably middle and high schoolers, so it could be a fun watch for them. However, if you are looking for a movie that sticks to it's theme and delivers quality storylines, then this movie isn't it.
