Hanazawa Hinana (Hashimoto Kanna) is a highschool student whose main focus is to study. They are not a well-off family, so she strives to be at the top of her class, even giving up her hobby of playing the piano. Meanwhile, Ayase Kaede (Katayose Ryota) is an ex-member of the idol group "Funny Bone". Now a famous actor, his face can be seen everywhere. When their school asked for students to play as extras for a movie, Hinana bumped into Kaede. And that's how their love story began.

I stumbled upon this movie on Netflix, thinking it would be a fun watch. If you thought it would have a sort of fairytale-like story/vibe like Cinderella, then you might be wrong. It is a fairytale without the essence of being a fairytale. I guess an idol being in a relationship with a regular person is the "fairytale" in the story, but it didn't capture the essence of what a fantastical love story should be. The story progressed too slowly; every scene was essentially the same, just in different locations. It was not a hard watch, but it would be if you were expecting a different type of challenge for the couple when it comes to this trope. The casting was great; even the supporting cast gave colour to the movie. If the story was written differently, I think it would be a better romantic movie.
