I was pretty much expecting a typical love story when I first watched it. There is a big plot twist, (can't really consider it as a twist because somehow, I felt like it would turn out that way) and the story was quite unique on its own. The overall feel of the movie and how it was presented suited the story very well.
It is hard to explain how I felt during the movie and at the end of the movie - somehow soothing and sweet, and yet expecting a dramatic change while I was watching and at the end of the movie, i was more like waiting for a miracle to happen.
The acting was great as expected from Matsujun and Ueno. I have liked Matsujun since Gokusen and I would always like him although his acting career is not very active compared with other same-age actors. I have to say it was a great choice for him and Ueno and they have a good chemistry there.
And the music, the ending song ("Wouldn't it be nice?") hit me so hard. It was exactly how I was feeling at that moment.
I would love to rewatch it a few years later as one of the great love stories I have watched.
