Not sold on this one
I am still on a teen movie streak, LOL.
But sadly this one fell short for me.
Since they are not blood related, I had no issues with them growing up as siblings.
But with the rest.
Zero chemistry between the lead actors.
As a viewer you should be able to perceive some level of pull toward each other and yearning between these two (it’s a romance after all), but there was none.
The ML characterization didn’t make much sense either:
Seemingly stoic and no issues with using random girls to distract him from his love to his stepsister, but a softie and an instant cryer during that break up scene with fake Mina. Huh?!
The 2ML was subtle creepy most of the time with his swarminess. 😐 When niceness comes with an agenda. Eww.
The only positive point in this movie was the female lead and the best friends.
The fl actress did a good job. And while Minato’s actions aren’t exactly stellar, they were relatable and without malicious intentions.
Which brings us to the story.
I have no high expectations regarding storyline, when watching a teen romance. But that doesn’t mean, the plot should be without any depth. There are movies out there, which are easy and fluffy, but are still wholesome and carry some kind of underlying meaning.
Not this one. Why was the cleaning quirk of the fl not a touch more explored and as a healing process more woven into the story? It clearly related to her brother.
No.
No recommendation from my side. There are better options out there to watch.
