The circulating news is about short drama regulations not about full length drama, love Story in the 1970s is…
As a pretty avid watcher of short/micro dramas, I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with this recent change. The CEO trope was getting out of hand 😅 I'm finally starting to see different plots and settings circulating around lol
Woow, the amount of toxicity and body-shaming I'm seeing in the comments is insane. I come from a region where most girls look like her--tall and slim. Nothing new. I think she looks fine.
This is NOT anorexia. Let me repeat: she does not look anorexic. I feel like we have completely lost what anorexia actually looks like.
Now, could she have an eating disorder? Maybe--even possibly (due to her job and stress). Is the entertainment industry extremely toxic? Hell yes.
don't Japan have any young good looking actor? or they actually have fetis of old man young girl relationship.
It's not really a matter of that. The movie was adapted from a manga. Keep in mind that 99% of Japanese movies and dramas are adaptations from manga/light novels.
Umm, if ONLY she wasn’t in school!!! And “just started high school” means 9th standard, right??? Aahhhh....so…
They have a 10-year age gap, 16/26. The movie could have been executed better, for sure, though the storyline remains problematic. The manga, honestly, isn't that bad--the FL is more mature there. I personally enjoyed reading it because the artist depicted more realistic body types, which is rare. This is one of those stories that fares mostly okay in the books but not when adapted with real ppl in a movie or series.
When did he fall in love with her? I didn't really feel any love between leads. What's the meaning of marrying…
I come a little late lol, but I'm pretty sure he was already smitten with her the first time they met--at the mixer, before he found out she was not 22. He wanted to avoid gossip about him dating or courting a 16-year-old, so they decided to get married directly. Honestly, I feel like it would have been the same to just get engaged, cuz they would have still been official, but whatever, lol
ehm 😐when I was like 14, 15 I did kinda like this for the couple, but then I didn't properly think how inappropriate…
I don't think the age gap is inappropriate in itself--what's problematic is that she's still in school, and that they didn't want to wait (to get married) until she had at least graduated. You gotta always keep in mind though that a country's laws can be different. Pretty sure the age of consent in Japan used to be 12, and got changed to 14 relatively recently.
Very sweet story. The actors were amazing, and the script was very well-written. Unfortunately, in true j-drama style, the kisses are very anticlimactic. Overall, very enjoyable watch. 8.0
It's cute, nothing too heavy. A one-time watch for sure. The kisses are anticlimactic, but that's what you get in most j-dramas anyway. I've watched many 'noona' (older woman, younger man) dramas, and this one didn't disappoint in that aspect. I agree, however, with past reviews saying that the chemistry between the leads is quite nonexistent.

Under what name is it?

Do with this what you will.

I recommend this if you particularly like actors.
