Basic youth rom-com lacking in a lot of ways...

The movie is a basic rom-com starting though with an interesting and quite refreshing concept, the love story happening in the 90's and being told in the present through the perspectives of other characters.

However, the plot was too soapy for me, especially in the last third of the picture with some non-sensical plot lines. It was really difficult to be invested in the romance which did not start on healthy basis and was full of already overused tropes.

Given the title, I was especting some real gangster vibe from the male lead, but it was not believable and more absurd than anything else. Overall, the performance of the actors was average at best but I'm not sure if the blame is on them or rather on the storylines making it very difficult for their acting to be taken seriously.

Production value and OST had nothing special going for them. It could have been so much better in terms of dialog, realisation and story...

I would not recommend this to people. There are much better youth romance movies than this one.
