Underrated gem of a movie

I personally really liked it. It's a good movie, and while relying heavily on humor for the most part, it also has serious, heartfelt moments, which I can greatly appreciate.
As a person who experienced a lot of the same or highly similar situations as our main character before, I can say that this movie is a pretty nice and accurate representation of what it feels to live in a foreign country so different from your home country. While a lot of situations here are shown in more of a joking manner, they are still good enough to show the sort of things people have to go through.
I appreciate the maturity from Kumi, Ken's girlfriend. Once she realized that she and Ken have different goals for the future, Kumi chose to leave the relationship like a sane and mature adult without making a scene or accusing Ken of anything, which is always good to see.
Her brother on the other hand, though, is incredibly childish, hostile, and just weird most of the time.
Attacking and screaming at Ken after Kumi broke the things off.
Ken being the only person who actually stood up for Lucas is quite sad but also so nice of him. I really loved Ken as a character, and his growth was incredibly nice to see.
I was so happy to see so many people try to help and stand up for Lucas later on in the movie.
Overall, as I said, I really enjoyed this movie. I think it is great. It has a lot of funny and cute moments, as well as more serious and mature parts that are crucial for a movie like that. It had good representation, and I think this movie definitely deserves more recognition.
