The movie *1st Kiss* really made me cry; the concept and everything about it were deeply moving. It portrays two people who want to be together despite being far from perfect—in fact, they were a bit of a disaster as a couple. During their initial fifteen years together, they struggled because neither was willing to set aside their pride; they didn't ask the other to be kind or affectionate, instead operating on the assumption that "you should just know this on your own." She was a truly wonderful person—patient and enduring—who kept coming back to save him, even when he treated her poorly; this proves just how deeply she loved him. Seeing him again could have made her focus on his flaws, yet she didn't. Even though she knew his personality and what to expect, she looked at him with eyes that overlooked his shortcomings—such as the way he dealt with his incredibly difficult boss Take the servant, for instance; he might seem simple or even boring—in fact, she herself said, "Suzori-san talks about dull things, yet somehow it feels entertaining." It’s truly remarkable; she loves him deeply, flaws and all. In the past, he may have been cold and abrasive—perhaps because he was working a job he disliked just to earn money, or because he found Kana annoying—but despite that, he loved her immensely. I should mention that he fell in love with her more than twice; every time she rewound time and returned to the present, he fell for her all over again—he loved her about five times in total. He is truly wonderful. It also tugged at my heartstrings when—after realizing she was his wife from the future—he said, "I don't want a divorce." He acknowledged his past harshness, yet he chose her again. He even chose the manner of his own death—a deeply humane choice—and ensured she had the best fifteen years of her life And he has The message at the end of the movie made me sob out loud. It was a truly wonderful film—not at all off-putting—and the acting was superb. Thank you so much for this movie.
