Cuteness overloaded
This movie is too cute I can't. Couple has so much chemistry and both are so sweet individually, I wish this partnership was made into a drama instead of a movie so we had more chance and more scenes to watch. Highly recommend the movie. Unlike other 2 jdramas I watched, there is no "overreaction" or "any crying worthy" scenes in this one. Hopefully we will see this couple in a drama in futureWas this review helpful to you?

Average
Honestly, this one was average at best. It's like a typical romance that I often see in some novels or dramas. The storyline is nothing special to me. I just like the youthful feeling it gives and I guess the cast? They're cute.The storyline, on the other hand, contains no complicated plot. There may be a second male lead, but after getting rejected, he was like "Okay. Bye bye, Good luck." Also! I know the male lead is characterized as straightforward, but he really should learn how to say it nicely. Though he apologized for it, what he said hurt (really). Anyway, overall, it's a good movie I think (though it does not belong to one of my favorites), especially when you are in the mood for a not-so-complex plot, like you just want to see something romantic for a moment. Also! One good thing about it is that it's pretty much a story that flows naturally, so it does not feel rushed that much.

I WISH THERE'S MORE
i was just looking for something to watch and i ran into this one clip from the movie on yt shorts so i decided to watch it.i was not really expecting anything other than its a teen drama on a school setting. at first i was honestly bored and was thinking twice if i should continue but when i felt the main characters chemistry BROOOOO i decided to continue.
its somewhat fun!! i enjoyed it and its not bad at all. some scenes are funny lol. so if you're looking for just a go to teen concept to watch i think this is worth the try.
for the main characters, i felt the chemistry which is one of the things that im really looking for in a drama so they gave me that. they're cute!!
the story itself, its kinda fast and rush for me but its a movie soooooo?? and the ending:( i wish there's more like i want to see them dating something like that u know bc i feel like i dont know anything about the characters yet but they ended it with a typical kissing scene and thats it. thats why i was like i wish this is a series?
overall, its cute, its fun but nothing really stuck into u (u know what i meaaan?) but still im glad i watch it! ♡

Warm hug in TV form for ussss!!!
So, imagine this drama where Satoyema is the most honest dude ever. He never hides his feelings and is super friendly all the time – like a human teddy bear. And Nozomi, she's into him, but get this, she still roots for her friend. Talk about a heart of gold!Then there's Erina, the friend who gets it. She's there through thick and thin, and you can't help but love her. The drama, 'Our Secret Diary,' is not your typical mushy romance. It's cute, it's real, and it's like a chill pill for your soul.
It's basically a warm hug in TV show form. If you're into stories that feel like real life, messy and all, 'Our Secret Diary' is your jam. Trust me, it's like comfort food for your emotions – cozy and satisfying!

Why do you think it will be very enjoyable?
I highly recommend 'Our Secret Diary,' it's an amazing Japanese drama that expertly combines romance, mystery, and personal growth to create a truly engaging story. The characters are well-developed, each dealing with their own struggles and challenges. The main character, in particular, goes through a profound journey, dealing with love, friendship, and self-discovery. The romantic storyline is handled with great sensitivity and the chemistry between the characters adds depth to the story. The mystery in the plot keeps you hooked, and the production values are top-notch, with stunning cinematography and a soundtrack that perfectly complements the series. Overall, it's an outstanding Jdrama that seamlessly blends romance, mystery, and personal growth, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.Was this review helpful to you?

High School Romance (reminder there is an extra scene of them after so don't end the movie)
Our Secret Diary was probably one of the best Japanese romance movies I've ever watched before, the story was so good on how he thought it was Matsumoto when it was Kuroda, it was so cute when Setoyama realized it was Kuroda after the karaoke bar while they were walking she said something to motivate him which was what he saw in the desk but he didn't want to end it because he loved talking to her though a notebook he gave to he and it absolutely so cute when they were studying in the classroom and Kuroda said she wished the best for him and Matsumoto and he kissed which was SUPER DUPER CUTE!!!!!!!!!! and when she confessed that she wasn't Matsumoto he ran to her and confessed he liked her. But then he realized he was on air and everyone could hear him and they ended up being together and DON'T FORGET TO WATCH ALL THE WAY TO THE END BECAUSE THERE'S A SCENE WITH BOTH OF THEM WHEN THEY'RE OLDER. I super duper recommend this movie for you people to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Basic romance story, great for newbies xD
It's got depth but only in the main characters, the story was basic but it was fun. I had skipped many parts as I felt I knew what was going on. But not that bad!I felt the FL could have done a better job, but it was average acting I felt. The twist at the end was only good. The FL is a bit slow, the guy is just into her so there isn't much going around. The story could have tried to delve into more problems in life, as it majorly revolved around the characters learning to open up.
This movie hence might serve as a good watch for those who are new at expoloring love and want a lovey dovey chemistry going around.

Cute!
I watched this on YouTube.This is a cute, evenly paced movie. There are no highs or lows, it's just a lovely movie to watch if you want to be carried along by something and not have to think too hard or suffer extreme emotions. Both leads were very attractive, and call me a sap, but I love watching when a guy looks longingly (especially secretly) at a girl.
Be sure to watch all the credits, because there is a scene post credit. I feel that they could have given us more in that scene, but it was still good to see.

A sweet high school romance
This was such a fun watch!The portrayal of the central romance was really sweet.
All the characters are really endearing with realistic flaws and actions that keep you rooting for everyone and their relationships whether romance or friendship. The main character is so adorable and sweet while having flaws and issues that she is working though that makes her character development really satisfying. The main love interest is pretty much a dreamboat who helps the main character come out of her shell and challenges her without shaming or judging her. He also takes accountability for his mistakes, apologises and corrects his behaviour. A really healthy relationship that you root for and want to watch.
The friendships were really nice and well done. Whether it was the female friendships or the male friendships, they were all depicted as super supportive and understanding. Thankfully, there was no fighting or friendships ending over boys and any fights that did occur were resolved very quickly and seemed to strengthen the bond between friends and make them more honest and vulnerable.
The visual's and filmmaking were also well done. Though admittedly, I don't know much about filmmaking, the shots in the film were all visually stunning.
Overall, a sweet and entertaining high school romance with great characters that you root for.

Old School Courting with burning angst
Something normal to brighten up your mood. Explains this one perfectly. The context of diary exchange is very familiar of diary exchange, but that one lie made things complicated and beautiful. The storytelling came out beautifully with the acting, music and the way it was captured.The scenes even with mute can be predicted not only due to the familiarity but also due to the way the actors convey it. Their eyes and expressions speak louder than words.
1. The way Nozomi's character is sketched out was a bit off for me, this might change with perspective.
2. The start felt off, I had second thoughts but trust me it gets better. You just have to make it past about 15 minutes or so.
3. The limited plot. A very hard concept to find nowadays. People just prefer dramatic twists and turns. This one for a change stuck to the main theme and concluded on it.
4. The smaller chunks of portraying friendship amongst teenagers had me hooked. An important aspect right there: Apologize. You will know once you watch it.
5. While the lie kept me on edge burning with angst till the end. The revelation felt so so so good. I can't describe it in words.
6. Apart from those initial 15 mins, this will keep you engaged. A lot of parts were really heartwarming...
That's it for this one. But definitely a rewatch worth movie when you just want something cozy and sweet.

Main characters who loves ROCK BAND!
This is my first time I'm giving a review in a Japanese movie. Because most of the time, I really like watching Japanese drama so why don't I give it a try to watch japanese movie. And I can say that i really love it! In this movie, it's not all about love but they also show the love between friends and family.First, I'm so touch when the time that female lead have a misunderstanding between her friends but in the end they try to resolve it for making saying sorry to each other and it show that they value their friendship. Second, the male lead have a struggle between choosing his passion on his sports or caring his grandmother and younger sister. He is willing to give up soccer just to take care his grandma. And it shows that the male lead really love and care to his family. And last, the love between the female lead and male lead was so cute. Because of their love, they really can't stop theirselves and keep writing on the notebook so even they know that it seems not right. You should find it why it's not. ? I also love the songs they play and I like the rock band also! ?
Their chemistry is so fantastic. I really love it. The female lead is so cute and pretty and the male lead is so handsome especially when he smile. In comes to their plot, i didn't expect that you can like someone you don't know just because they give you a motivation and write it on your desk. But at the end of the story, I understand why the male lead loves her is because she gives him a motivation to follow what he wants to do. That's it. 9.5/10!❤️

Its actually quite good!
I thought this would be a basic cringy cheese cliche movie, but although cliche, it had its moments when I watched it. The characters were well-developed, and their actions had meaning and made sense! The feelings didn't feel forced, and they were somewhat realistic. The use of music in the film was also a great choice, metal isn't something you see often in Japanese movies.The only cons I would say are that at the start it was almost awkward to get into and the music can throw you off if you thought it was simply a basic rom-com. It isn't exactly a unique film, it used common tropes but it did it very well. I would recommend this to others and rewatch myself!
