We Love (2018)

This movie is basically about two childhood friends who love each other but are so naive that they think it's one sided. The male lead wants to be the cool guy and as we know nice guys finish last so he decides to be a total jerk to the main girl. She's the submissive type that has no confidence and just kinda takes all his insults and demeaning comments like "You're trash". But since we know that they love each other we feel sympathy for both characters and want to cheer them on. They add quite a bit of comedy and they show that the male lead is actually just a sweet puppy dog to help viewers from totally disliking him. I really thought that the main girl's acting was splendid and the supporting cast do a great job. Hirano Sho makes a good tsundere character, he played a very similar character in Honey. Although I liked his character in Honey a lot more. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It's adorable and the story flows smoothly. Give it a watch guys. ;)

Story/Plot: 2.0
The overall plot of the childhood friends falling in love is what initially got me to watch this film. But with how it was directed and portrayed, it felt like a recipe of everything a relationship wasn’t supposed to be. The fact that she is taught not to like nice boys, and that he is trying to portray that in order to get her, is slightly disturbing and shouldn’t be really celebrated.
The story is a romantic comedy, but the comedy parts with their heads adult heads being transported on a child’s body, made me think it was a horror flick. There is many questions, I have over this, and I think this is one Manga that was best left alone as it was.

Acting: 3.0
This was not executed well. The acting was over the top and it was cringe to watch. I give them points for trying, because there were moments that they portrayed emotions well. But overall I think this production was just a mess from start to finish.

Music: 2.0
There was a lack of music throughout, it felt unnatural. Sometimes, the lack of music is the point, but with the music either being too soft in the background where you can’t hear it or it just not being there, it created a weird suspense kind of feeling, that didn’t mix well with the comedy that was trying to be portrayed on screen.

Re-watch Value: 1.00
This drama is insanely awkward, portrayal. I would find great difficulty in rewatching it or even recommending this film to anyone.

Overall Score: 2.00
