What I like and appreciated about this drama was the ending. It was somehow happy and they gave the whole tragic illness a better and more optemistic spin.
The love story was really cute and warm as well, even though it started a bit awkwardly. The two actors had great chemistry and their romance was somehow realistic and sweet. The performances were really good as well.
So, seven out of ten.

This movie is one of my FAVOURITES!!!Snow flower is a story about a girl Miyuki hirai who is physically weak from when she was a child, her parents had been to Finland to see the popular [Aurora] so she is dreaming to go too but with her prince. One day while she is walking someone robs her, and the guy that saves her is Yusuke watabiki who is one of the most Handsome guys ever seen in town. She immedietly falls in love with him, and starts following him to see where he goes, He works at this cute vintage cafe where she went but he aparently didn't recognise her. He gets in trouble at work and is in need to get money asap, Miyuki san hears his story and immedietly gives him the money in exchange to date her for a month...
After a month though he actually falls in love with her and goes with her to see the Aurora in Finland ❤ ❤ ❤
This is such a cute, romantic movie ❤ ❤ ❤

You don't feel the long-time running - which means the script was well written -, but in the end of the movie I felt that something was missing and it might be the fact that the essence of the problem was taken way too lightly.
As the movie is pretty much concentrated on the two main characters, for me, connecting with the characters is important, but for some reason I didn't feel the connection and the sequence of events just turned too obvious.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie and it might be very appealing for some people so give it a try.

Gentle Romance
The story is the typical j-drama romance formula. From the start we know that the female lead is terminally ill, so we can figure out the ending easily. It’s a simple storyline and focuses on the innocent romance. In some parts of the movie it moves very slowly and I think they could have used that time instead to show more of the dates that Yusuke and Miyuki go on, to help establish their relationship more. It felt abrupt at how the trip to Finland for them both occurred. Given the limited script they were given Hiroomi Tosaka and Ayami Nakajo to a great job of creating chemistry. But to really create the warmth of love, I felt that was lacking, with no fault of the actor and actress. The scenery of Finland and the Northern Lights are beautiful. I liked the moments with Yusuke’s family (brother and sister), and how his glass making was tied into the whole storyline too. There was so much potential within the storyline, but it fell a little short. There could’ve been more emphasis on her illness and how she hid it from him, so that the ending had more dramatic impact. Overall, I still enjoyed it.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

a lovely film
It's a perfect blending. It has the story of terminal illness that I'm so insanely drawn towards. And it has a combination of my two favorite countries, Japan and Finland, where my ancestors are from. I've visited Finland once, along the coast of Vaasa, but now I want to see the Northern Lights so I'll have to return some year in the winter. I've added it to my bucket list. Overall, a truly lovely movie that doesn't end where a lot of terminal illness stories end. The lead characters are charming, and though I don't like the buying of affection, this movie handles the topic with tact and grace. I loved it, start to finish.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
