It was ok. As I watched I thought about some plot twists that didn't happen...
1. The master plot twist: Kakeru was the author of both letters and he manipulated everyone to love him.
2. By the end, when everyone was sitting on the road, I expected another White Truck of Death to come and kill them all. I think I need to visit some shrink. I'm going slightly mad... 😉
3. FL discovering that her friend (her original future husband and father of their child) is actually sacrificing his love for the sake of the ML. Now she has to decide if she wants to live with emotionally unstable guy, in constant fear that he'll kill himself (good opportunity for a toxic relation), or she's gonna dump him and go for the original dude.
I liked it a lot.I understand people saying that this could've been a 2h movie instead but I have a different…
...I didn't like the ending.
By the end I was prepared to let them go their separate ways.
I felt somewhat tricked that it was never really "after love" in this drama. They did have their closure which normally "ends" the love (one may argue of course if love ever ends) and that should've been the milestone that allows them to move on.
I felt that the lesson wasn't fully learned. Yes, it seems like they might be able to communicate better now that they've learned to say "I'm sorry" but there's a difference between saying sorry and changing your behaviour. The latter requires a lot more strong will and hard work.
Their sudden transition from "sorry" to holding hands was just so not in line with the overall pacing of the story that it seemed forced to me.
I liked it a lot. I understand people saying that this could've been a 2h movie instead but I have a different opinion this time (which is strange because I usually hate when the story is dragged for too long). This one I binged in one go and it kept me hooked until the end. There is one thing I didn't like though...
Any sophisticated lessons to be learned?
I can't really say anything wise. I can only express the most primitive thought:
