I watched this for Enrique Gil, but he ended up not being in that much of it. John Lloyd Cruz gave a good performance. However, the film's messaging was kind of all of the place. I really couldn't immerse myself in it. I'm giving it a 7.5 just for the actors because they all did a great job.
Finished this asadora today. It really liked its comedy and slice-of-life vibe. Some people complain about Fukuko…
I do want to complain about Taka and Kanbe's ten-year age difference. They compare it to Fukuko and Manpei having the exact same age difference. However, Fukuko and Manpei met as adults (18-28 I believe) while Kanbe becomes interested in a sixteen-year-old Taka... It's not THAT creepy but bordering on it. The saving grace is that he waits until she finishes college to marry her at least.
Finished this asadora today. It really liked its comedy and slice-of-life vibe. Some people complain about Fukuko giving into Manpei about everything, which I'll admit was a little annoying. But it's comedy so I didn't think it was that big of a deal tbh.
