When I first see the opening minutes, it looks promising and there was an attempt to adapt it to suit Japanese culture but unfortunately it turned out to be bad, so it's not as exciting as the original film.

The first half puts forward and encourages friendship, but the element that should be prioritized because it will be the life of this film, namely 'romance', was ignored in the first half and it was a bad decision, when Kosuke and Hayase began to be the focus as a couple, but due to the wrong build up, they in my opinion looks more like bestfriend than a couple of lovers, even when the dating scene there's no love there, so their relationship which was supposed to be at that moment has started to mature but because it is late in sharpening so it's still raw, since the dating scene I am sure this film has no hope.

I'm a fan of Nogizaka46, so I know Saito Asuka but to be honest in here her acting is very bad, Hayase has become like a female character who doesn't deserve to be fought for and chased like Shen Chia Yi. But Asuka's getting better now, in Eizouken she's doing well.

Yuki Yamada, he's okay but sometimes his acting is too contrived and cringe and the development of his character also makes his character Kosuke look like an idiot, unlike seeing Ko Ching Teng, where I hope he is the one with Shen Chia Yi, for Kosuke I feel he deserves not to get Hayase because he looks so stupid.

Ironically, the film puts forward friendship in the first half, in the next half it is just thrown away, so I can't remember the character of Kosuke and Hayase's friends because there is no memorable moment.

I want to type a lot of the ugliness of this film, such as an unflattering sense of nostalgia, class atmosphere that feels unpleasant etc.

That's all I can type, better not watch it if you've watch the Taiwanese one.
