My July Recommendation movie
Watch this because recommendation challenge from π΅πππππππ. Letβs discuss movieβ¦
As usual Japan brings us unusual romance dramasβ¦ Hahaβ¦
The story follows Eriko Ichimura, a plain and completely ordinary high school student who fades into the background at her school. To escape her boring reality, she spends her time fantasizing about the school's most popular boy, Akira Ohmi. Her ultimate hobby is taking to Twitter under the anonymous handle "Lovesick Ellie," where she posts wild, thirsty, and deeply dramatic romantic fantasies about a boyfriend who looks exactly like Ohmi.
Her quiet life is turned upside down when she accidentally overhears a private conversation between Ohmi and teacher, Sumi Shiota. Through this, she realizes that Ohmi is not the sweet Prince Charming everyone thinks he is; he is actually a rude, bratty, and grumpy "two-faced" boy. To make matters worse, she panics and drops her phone, and Ohmi picks it up, discovering her embarrassing, secret Twitter account.
Rather than exposing each other, the two strike an uneasy compromise to keep each other's secrets safe. As they spend more time together, Ohmi becomes increasingly intrigued by Eriko's bizarre fantasies and quirky personality, while Eriko finds herself falling for the flawed, real version of the boy she only used to admire from afar.
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.
What I like:
+ What bizarre personality Eriko has. Truly only Japan can come out with this kind of personality / behaviour.
+ How in the end Eriko is like a magnet that pulls some quirky friends tooβ¦
+ How Ohmi never belittles nor mock Eriko's bizarre fantasies and quirky personality.
+ I really love how Eriko never hides her quirky personality / behaviour in front of Ohmi, the boy she has a crush onβ¦
Overall Iβm happy I can watch this. For you who search for something quirky to watch yet not too bizarre nor cringy, this can be your choiceβ¦
