Koi wa Hikari (2022)

It’s good

The first time I watched it looked quite boring but as time went on I really enjoyed it and didn't feel like I had watched it to the end. I like their acting, what's more, Nanase Nisino here adds a plus from all aspects. Maybe you can say I enjoy watching because there is Nanase Nisino too, the male character plays a clumsy character because he never gets affection from his parents, but overall according to I think this movie is a good movie and has a good ending. I highly recommend this movie if you are looking for a movie to watch in your spare time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :) .

Interesting concept but I got super bored...Maybe a case of "it is me, not you"

The movie is centred around an interesting concept, as our hero Saijo is able see women in love surrounded by sparkling lights. The fact that he is able to visually perceive the love but does not understand what it is is, is the key element of the story. The viewer follows his evolution as he interacts with the three main female protagonists and learn more about himself and what love is.

Despite this intriguing premise, I found myself totally disengaged from the storylines. The discussions that the characters were having were highly theoretical and I got super bored as the story unfolded itself. The outcome was pretty obvious from start and the script did not manage to hold my interest. I was still hoping for a surprise until the end...but no, the resolution was exactly what I expected. Surprise and unexpectedness are not necessarily what I look forward in a romance, but still I need something to catch up my interest (passion, chemistry, poesy,....) but here it felt too bland for my taste.

I found the casting doing an adequate job but I was not super impressed by any of them. I must say that the pretty convoluted dialogs did not help keeping me invested in what was happening on screen, so I'm not sure if the problem in keeping my interest is the acting or the story, both or totally something else?

I would not recommend this to people. I feel there are better romantic movies out there and that this one is overall pretty bland and forgettable...
