A bittersweet coming-of-age film about a lonely teenage boy, with the perfect mix of melancholic nostalgia and comedy. I loved everything about it. It was just perfect. Also, I have to say this - Tomita Yasuko was such a beauty in her youth. I couldn't take my eyes off her in the scene when she cycled past the ML. Highly highly recommended :)
For those who don't know, the ML declared his love for the FL at the ending press conference of this drama, shocking everyone (including the FL), Here's a close up clip- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp49_1czIiU
A good mix of romance and comedy, filled with loads of bickering between the immature yet adorable leads and their strong-willed yet loving families, and some lessons on marriage. Takenouchi Yutaka and Tokiwa Takako were at their cutest here, loved their pairing! Though slightly tedious at times, it was a fun one-time watch :)
Another reason why I love watching older Japanese dramas- the angst and romance is bar none. I weep for these…
I completely agree! Nothing like the older J dramas, especially when it comes to romance. Btw I highly recommend Kono Yo No Hate. Toyokawa is so damn charming and charismatic in that in his black suits, though he's the 2nd male lead. https://mydramalist.com/5709-kono-yo-no-hate
A realistic and well-written slice of life movie about a relationship between two individuals which blossoms over the internet, with very natural performances by Fukatsu Eri and Uchino Seiyou. The writer did a great job in bringing out both the safety and fears that comes with an online relationship. I also really adored the cinematography and the way we got glimpses of their everyday life. I can't believe this was released in the 90s, it could easily pass as a movie released today. Highly recommended for those who like simple, feel good romantic films :)
