If you can't stand clichés and unrealistic love stories, than I'd say: stay away from this movie! But since I actually don't mind none of the above I ended up quite liking this movie.
PLOT
The plot is simple: girl has a secret crush on boy, other boy has a (not so secret) crush on her. The famous love triangle. But the story gets much more complicated than this and it often leaves you surprised as this movie has some really good plot-twists. At times I even found it too fast-faced: in some scenes I was confused and didn't really understand what was going on. But don't worry, everything becomes clear just after a bit.
CHARACTERS:
Kairi was my favorite: so genuinely nice and thoughtful behind his clown-of-the-class appearance. He comes from a troubled family situation, with his mom being absent (dead I suppose?) and his dad being disappointed by him, and I'm glad he didn't get affected by this becoming a "bad boy", which is usually what happens in movies and dramas similar to this. Also I really enjoyed the fact that his dream is to become a pastry chef, which is something I had never seen before.
Honestly, I don't have much to say about the other characters: Adachi was nice but nothing special, same goes for Toji, who's definetly attractive but not so exciting. Last, Sae: soooo annoying and the perfect villain, the classic "mean girl". I hated how kind Adachi was to her despite the amount of bad things her so-called-friend had done to her, but I can turn a blind eye on that since Sae got her redemption at the end and became a better person.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall I found it a very sweet and cute love story, definitely enjoyable. This will leave you with a smile on your face and it'll make you feel cuddly inside. Would recommend!
(Just keep in mind that this isn't a masterpiece but just a simple fluffy movie and that sometimes it can get a bit cringey)
