I went into this movie thinking it's a tearjerker melodrama, but I was quickly corrected. Such heartwarming storytelling shows different sides of love we can have towards each other.

For a movie, where a lot of the plot happened in the past, it kept me excited and curious about the events, even though I knew what result we would be getting from the start. As exciting as it was, it also left me in a state of relaxation. This warm feeling that is hard to describe - maybe comparing it to sitting under a blanket with a hot tea in your hands looking out of the window on a snowy morning.

I fell in love with all the characters. Each and every one of them had such a unique color, I just sat in wonder, seeing how small events and situations brought them together and connected one way or another, at present or in the past.

The plot might feel bittersweet, especially with such an ending. For me, it was perfect. It shows that life keeps going, even when we are faced with loss, missed opportunities, regret or struggles. The same plot presented in a different way would have left me feeling frustrated and annoyed. After Love Letter, I was left with just one thought: what a beautiful movie.

What's more, it's simply beautiful. Maybe it just fits my taste and aesthetics, but I did hold my breath a few times, simply because I enjoyed the visual feast I was witnessing. Even though it was filmed 25 years ago, it could be easily played in cinemas now. The quality was just that good.

I cannot regret not watching it earlier. I'm sure my younger self would not appreciate it as much as I did today. I am still amazed how a movie could make me feel excited, curious, anxious, but also calm, relaxed and warm at the same time.
