A nasty story that leaves you both loving and hating it.

This is a movie that gets you really hard if it is your first time watching it. It has a nasty plot that leaves you both loving how it plays with your emotions but hate it because of the same reason. The emotions I felt after watching was not complex. It was simply wtf, wow, and sad at same time. Because of that, it is one of the few movies/dramas that I felt really deserves a rating in my view (I watch a lot of dramas/movies but only bothered to rate a handful because most are really generic. Most of the time it isn't because it wasn't good, but just that it wasn't surprising.)

The plot twist is simply well done. For most of story, you will think that a boy worked hard to change how he looks, does things, etc. to finally find the one for him. It was sweet and emotional. The most you would think would happen was that they will end up with a bad ending because of an unforeseeable event. The plot twist teared all this down. It was one nasty plot twist. It is not only nasty because it got me but because it really feels like it can happen in reality. There's really nothing preventing this mess to happen in real life. I also feel sad how all of these relationships that showed up in this movie could've been nice ones but none of them end up being nice ones. It's a pity. It is also hard to say who is more wrong than the other, but at the same time you feel that there should be that one turning point or reason that sticks out.

Like most others described it, it was a roller coaster of emotions.

Honestly, the music wasn't memorable to me. Rewatching it will not have the same effect as the first time. If it isn't the first watch, you will probably start seeing all the "hints" of the twist about to occur. Everything else was awesome, but not exactly in a good way.
