Marmalade Boy (2018)

I've been waiting a long time to watch this. Like the majority of people on here, I was such a huge fan of the anime and manga in my childhood. The story might shock and make a weird first impression for some, but I was already acquainted with the whole storyline. Basically: a dysfunctional Asian family (what's new drama world, huh?), "forbidden" love, high school life and lots of misunderstandings. As I remembered, the anime was quite long, but the story was so captivating, even the side stories of other characters. Naturally, it's difficult to squeeze in 50+ episode worth of story into a 2 hour movie, therefore, the movie was missing lots of key scenes from the original plot. This should've been made into a live drama adaptation. However, from a more positive view, I did enjoy the cinematic and the warm colors, the leads and their acting (surprisingly). Personally, I'd say it's an OK movie, better than an average shojo manga adaptation.

Would I suggest watching this? Sure, if you were a fan of the originals. But if are intrigued by the abnormal storyline, definitely start from the manga and climb your way up to this movie.

Unreasonable turn in this movie .All I can say it is one-time watch .Twist in relationship .Boy and girl fall in love know about the matter that their parents switch the partners and getting married then twist enter which lead to sad and slow story and the truth is unfold with the truth at some point I got confused ,now I am not understand that their parents continue their relationship with switch partner or for their children sake they remain with their original partner.complicated ending .Maybe I got confusion because I didn't understand last part of subtitle well or may be not.

Uma agradável surpresa, tendo em vista a nota relativamente baixa, mas acho que sei a razão disso (comparações com o original, suponho).
Mas, falando do filme isoladamente, eu gostei bastante mesmo. Lamento o fato de ser um filme, portanto curto e resumido.
O que mais me agradou foi o casal. Foi uma surpresa (num ótimo sentido). Deviam fazer mais casais de filmes/doramas como o deste filme. Além de serem um casal fofo e cheio de química, eles são bem entrosados, se tocam, se abraçam, há uma afinidade sempre presente entre eles. Eles basicamente fizeram a química acontecer e ficar mais forte, e acho isso um ponto muito positivo dessa produção, e algo a se destacar comparado a muitos e muitos filmes/doramas, onde isso fica muito a desejar.
Eu não li o mangá porque me desagrada muito o traço, não consigo me acostumar. Então, de um ponto de vista bem neutro e sem qualquer ponto pra ficar fazendo comparações, eu gostei bastante do filme.
