Evergreen love is a very laid back easy breezy simple love story. Quite slow-paced, very slice of life, that can be likened to the changing of seasons, and growing of plants, that our characters bond over. Before you pick this up though, you have to get by the weird premise of her adopting him as a roommate when they just met. Now I laugh at all the outrageous theories I have behind Itsuki’s personality (I thought: does he turn into a plant, is this secretly a fantasy genre lol!). The leads look cute and charming together (Iwata Takanori looks like the hot long lost brother of Running Man’s Kim Jong Kook), but the plot didn’t really stretch anybody’s acting muscles. As I was looking forward to seeing more of Takahata Mitsuki’s projects after her excellent turn as Kahoko, so in that aspect I was disappointed. Overall I still appreciated the warm feel of the movie and how it tried to be different in the way it told the usual love story.

This was a very fluffy story, typical japanese style.
You learn about the small edible plants that grow on river banks, and how to make them into delicious food.
Overall this film was really cute, something to keep for a lazy rainy day. It will exceed your expectations but it wasn't something super punchy.
It has that soft Japanese vibe, if you could compare this to Kdrama, I would call this herbal tea and Kdrama triple shot coffee.
No matter your jam- this film pauses time with a simpler approach to life.

This romance movie was very pure and innocent, however in my opinion i thought that the progression was very slow unfortunately. I didn't want to leave the movie unfinished, so i watched till the very end, but there was not much excitement going on for me. The plot was too simple in my opinion.
I did enjoy the cast however, and definitely loved the food scenes. Those scenes were enjoyable and definitely made me crave food!
