When an actress owns the whole film with her mesmerizing performance, was able to make a boring plot watchable. I think I already watched a lot of aoi yu movies but from what I remember this might be her best performance to date. That scene when her character confronts odagiri joe is gold, that will haunt me everytime I think of it. I am still having those chills after.

You just cant beat kankuro's script, one hella plot twist also the music is top notched but the most important Rena nounen like that drama is made in heaven all elements working together.

I understand the opinion of others that this seems to be another anti-japan movie. There are brief moments near the end like those guys who were mocking Na Ok Boon, their purpose was so obvious like are they even needed? those moments could hurt the film to others imo. But nonetheless this is a phenomenal movie with one of the best performance I've ever seen. I hope I didn't see the trailer cause that twist would blown me away like are you crazy, first miracle in cell #7 and now this?

Finally a page for this young talented actress. She will take the baton from sugisaki hana as sugisaki is ready to take more serious roles.

In our country, as dumb as it sounds english is considered as a form to measure intelligence. Like in a heated conversation out of nowhere they suddenly will speak in english, as if that will make their stupid point legit. Part of the reason for that is because we we're colonize by americans so most of us still considered them as superiors (f*ckn colonial mentality).

I felt that one of my relative passed away.

Like nobody gives a damn. We find stories always the same and cheesy that's why we come to asian drama like kdrama and jdrama. I've never watched any single drama from my local country since I watched jdrama. People might consider translate them if they will get paid.

First time I've seen oguri shun in such role. Underrated performance.

So su metal is already 20 years old what about my fav yui metal? guess I'll just google it lol. Sugisaki hana looks 12 lol one of the best young actress though.

This made me think that I haven't watched any dramas this year. What the hell am I doing with my life....ahhh perhaps the reason is I didn't find any subs for those dramas that I like. Hope next year will be better please.

TOUGH LOVE!!! and also what a metaphor!!!

I think it's safe to say that jdramas are the best in making such seemingly simple story interesting and those food for thought dialogues created due to talks about the most trivial things is brilliant.

A plot twist you won't see very often. Brilliant idea very original and I like how the atmosphere turns in the middle of the movie. Strong performances by the cast and definitely Nakajima's breakthrough performance. But that plot twist is what made this to me so special. That feeling when you've watched something good that you pause the movie to gather yourself, just what the hell was that? it is freaking brililant.

I don't think it's been subbed yet. I watched it here in our country, some cinemas show it for 2 days.

Thank me later.

Most of great films were not subbed sigh. That newcomer award is still a headscracher for me, I don't know how they consider them newbies, they have been in the industry for years and some made names for themselves.

So they are showing this simultaneous with the anime. I am watching the anime right now and I was thinking that this could be a great material for a good live action series so to my surprise that they are already doing it. In my mind the main lead actress is screaming fumi nikaido but at the same time I was hoping for a fresh new actress to come out and do a daring role. I first saw yoshimoto miyu in the girl who leapt thru time adaptation drama and I was already captivated by her screen presence with that gorgeous smile. I haven't watched any episode yet but I feel that the role is too much of a challenge for her but let see, hope she will prove me wrong.

I also disagree with those negative comments below. Nothing new yes, but if it works then why fix it. To me it comes down to the execution and I think they have done it well just like how that last scene played out, I've never experienced that kind of chills in a long time. Solid cast and epic soundtrack.

Yeah just like the movie beautiful mind it's just that that is about friendship but still her personality really tells me that she's only imagining him that she was delusional. I would like this movie more if it was like that though.
