The story line was very poorly executed with very bad pacing.

The good thing about this movie was first of all the concept, the storyline sounded really intriguing to me in the beginning which is why I chose to watch it. The female lead’s acting was also but really good, and that’s probably all the good things I have to say about this movie.

On the other hand, all the bullying scenes were just given as a montage which I think was one of the biggest pitfalls as it made the bullying seem also irrelevant so it was really unusual when she decided to commit suicide at the end. It also just really confused me and made the timeline really skewed. Also, they skipped a lot of important scenes between the male lead and female lead, so, i feel like they failed to portray how deep their relationship and connection was to each other. Same for the female lead’s relationship to her childhood friend, they didn’t even seem like friends, their relationship was so distant. When she was ranting to him about how crappy her life is, he seemed to not care, which seemed unrealistic in my opinion. I still cannot fathom how the movie was so long when they barely even showed anything.
This could’ve been a great movie if it was better executed, overall, i just feel disappointed.
