The title of the movie would not have drawn me in but luckily I saw a video for the movie before the title and thought it seemed cute so I decided to watch it.
The beginning of the movie is very silly. As you continue watching, the movie develops very nicely and you get to see some amazing character growth along with some good life lessons.
I was actually a bit surprised at how things played out but I’m so happy with the story and how it was written.
The cast was very fun and did a great job with their parts.
If you’re looking for a fun loving movie that’s a great pick me up, this is the one to watch!

It starts off with the FL who seems kinda spoiled and dumb - which I usually hate - yelling words like nAni or being randomly shook and then falling into the ML's arms ugh but watching 30 minutes in you'll see how she uses this as her charm for the character later,, not her downfall. She's pure and puts her heart to things she wants to learn. She's the kinda dumb that you'd find endearing. Like a puppy. I found myself falling for her just like the ML did. Very cute. Very simple.
The ML is refreshing too - not super rude and arrogant for no reason. He had a genuine cause to do what he did. But he's a nice guy. The acting was great. The way he admired her for her determination and learning and the way she admired him for teaching her was pretty cool.
Some other side characters were great too. The butler. The landlady. Haha. The scene between the FL and his ex was actually amazing - lots of scenes like this had me smiling and laughing on the inside. Yes, they split up over a dumb reason but its pretty quick and you can easily gloss over it.
You won't get any super steamy romance out of it but it's cute and fluffy. Try it out before judging it especially if you're like me who can't stand cringy characters/plots.

This movie made me laugh for the whole story. However, the impossible stories of this movie are what makes it so funny. The main female character is very cute. She's so sincere about her feelings and consistently show it throughout the movie. The male character is quite unusual as well. Because, in most of Japan movie like the male character are so rude, but this one is quite soft and sweet. I can certainly see the character development.
This movie is so entertaining to the point that you don't realize when it comes to an end. Don't expect anything, just watch this movie with your girls on sleepover night.

entertaining and full of life
●HOW I CAME TO ITAm not a fan of J-movie but whatever I have watched until now they have never failed to surprise me so Here is another J-movie to check off my PTW list. This is like a sweet and crunchy choco pie, filled with fruits and nuts, which means with each bite of the event there is an unexpected taste that is delicious than ever.
●PLOT VIEW
I read the synopsis and pretty much says all but still, I didn’t know what should I interpret about the movie before watching it. Is the girl bratty in nature? is the guy cunning as he marries for money? Why do the parents want the high school teens to marry? Everything is answered in the most quirky way possible. It shows the most unexpected things with over-the-top cuteness. The story is simple yet its unfolding is like opening a lotus flower which has roots in muddy water but is still beautiful as no other. The story is not new a girl dreaming of a prince charming, boring right. but this movie is refreshingly unique. Something I've never really seen before...a love story I've never heard of. From the opening scene in the bedroom to the ending scene, everything was special and put a smile on my face. The richness, poorness, parents of FL was over the top but that basic really suited her. ML didn’t fall for her but eventually understood the meaningful love he received, that was the beauty of the movie.
●ACTING/CAST
Yûna Taira as Karin Oriyama is like a spirited princess who has got every wish fulfilled. She is sweet, cute, graceful but a little clumsy. She played her character like a pro and one cannot stop but adore her for the ruckus she goes through. She had astounding facial expressions and an amazing fashion style.
Kento Nakajima as Nao Tsurugi was a surprise, he is not hidden in the FL shadow but has his own share of charm when it's unpredictable that he should get angry or laugh. He is a mature guy who acts after understanding the situations sharply. He did the emotional scenes fairly well, can feel his emotion through his eyes.
All the other characters, parents, manager, friends, house owner everyone were an excellent supporting cast. They made the movie more watchable.
●MUSIC
There is a birthday song, good lyrics, and a mood maker. Also, there is a song at the end credit which has an amazing music score. Otherwise, there is a super amazing BGM that makes the scenes beautiful.
●REWATCH
This movie can be watched anytime. Actually, I rewatched it already twice. It gives enormous laughs with the crazy lines and acting of the everyone is worth watching.
●FAV SCENE
The first sorry scene is my favorite. I had never seen any scene like this before, everyone's reaction was priceless.
●FAV DIALOGUE
What's wrong with choosing him for his face? - Karin Oriyama
●RECOMMENDATION
If you like romantic comedy, cohabitation, fluffy romance then this movie is for you. If you don’t like these genres then also give it a try this movie will not let you down.
