This is one of those movies where you will say things like OMG, cute, I wish it was me. Because there is loads of eyecandy here. I liked the story, it is easy to follow and sometimes cheesy. But the cheesyness really belonged here in this movie so it is acceptable. I did had a hard time with the female lead because I wanted her to be a bit different than she had to portray in the movie.
The acting was really good, especially if the female lead got on my nerves for her acting here, she did her job wel. The male lead is easy to love and I thought his acting was great. Also the chemistry they have in this movie is incredible!
I would rewatch this movie because it is so darn cute and this movie just has something about it that I want to rewatch it.
Watch this movie if you like cheesy, cute and romantic movie.
Skip this if you don't like romance of much cheesyness.

I'm totally not convinced by the main roles Yamashita Tomohisa and Komatsu Nana in this movie. The acting was just soso. It could have had lot's of more feeling. If you're watching this movie for Yamashita Tomohisa's appearance then you should watch this, handsome in every scene. Yamamoto Mizuki did a great job as a supporting character! I want to see more of her.
Also a very very cliché story..Don't expect something unique. A typical manga love story.
I liked the music!
Watch this if you're bored and don't expect much, then maybe it's good for you!

Story | A close teacher and student relationship starts when prodigy student Kururugi Yuni, who excels in every subject except English, start having one-on-one tutoring with Sakurai Sensei. As the tutoring continues the two generally become closer and start a forbidden relationship. Your typical Shouju manga with a cliché relationship so it's nothing new.
Cast | Hm. I'm not completely dissatisfied with the leads but there was definitely some chemistry lacking. I liked Yamashita's acting and I enjoyed Komatsu's acting (Her poker face was the best to be honest). They played their roles in a way that I thought was believable but their was just no real connection. There wasn't much character development either. This may have been because it was a movie and the time to connect was cut short. Supporting cast didn't have much time to shine either, but for what was given, I liked the characters and the actors.
Music | …was there even any? I honestly can't remember. If there was an ending theme song during the credits I missed it because where I watched the movie, it cut off right when it ended.
Rewatch | Probably not. It was a cute movie. Simple story, easy to follow, etc but it was kind of a bore. I kept checking the time to see when it was finally going to end.
Overall | I can't really lie, teacher-student relationship type stories make me cringe a little. I over think and it's just too much sometimes. but even with my slight bias, it was an okay movie. It's a simple to watch movie if you can't find anything. That's really it. I just wish this was turned into a drama rather than a movie. I feel such story lines with interesting characters need more time to develop and establish themselves, to help better the story and make it flow better. Plus I did enjoy these actors and would've liked to watch their character developments because it was too hard to believe the situations when everything moved too quickly

I read the manga many years ago but seeing it on screen was entirely different. The manga flowed well and made it's dubious content likeable. This movie however... I was mortified at some points. And not because of the teacher-student thing.
The script was jerky in places. The story did not flow, and neither did their emotions. I could not believe they loved each other and were not temporarily infatuated. I couldn't even believe the infatuation on Sensei's part. I think that must be blamed on the script they were given, because their acting were good. I laughed my way through this but it had good entertainment value.
And at some parts, I kept yelling at her to run away from this guy. It seemed too much like he was taking advantage of a socially inept girl. This could have been done in a better way. My Rainy Days was much better.
The cast were appropriate. Especially Yamashita Tohiro. The music was so-so. Rewatch value is a maybe for me. It was good while it lasted.
***Update: This film grows on you. I've actually rewatched it, and it's not so bad the 2nd time. It's actually lovable fluff if you suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow. The cuteness is overloaded. I liked it much better this time around. Try it.

I've watched a lot of these dramas revolving around school life and I wasn't sure how I felt about the dynamic of student and teacher but this is by far the best one I've ever seen. I can not fault this movie in any way. It was just enough in every aspect. The drama between the two main leads had me on edge and just dying with anticipation. I can't fathom why so many people thought this movie was average it was beyond amazing for me.
Their relationship was beautiful and I felt every single emotion Yuni felt in it. I adore that actress and the reason I watched it was because she was in it.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone whos on the fence about watching it. It's amazing. 10/10

the story is good since its based off a popular manga I think? it was rushed but thats explainable but what killed me is that I could not feel any type of chemistry between the leads. it just killed me.
both Nana and Tomohisa are great actors and they act really well, just not together.
I've noticed this in alot of japanese movies or drama, in some of them the leads just don't click and the kissing scenes are just cold and emotionless like SOMEONE TEACH THEM HOW TO KISS YOU DON'T JUST SLAP YOUR LIPS AGAINST THE OTHERS' LIPS AND STAY STILL LIKE A STATUE OKAY.
I overreact xD
Nana is so beautiful its so fascinating especially her resting bitch face its so good you can tell she was in character but the leads just didn't have chemistry.
overall? it was okay, not great, not horrible, just okay. I don't think I would watch it again though.

That was such a cute movie. Stressful as hell to watch, but cute nonetheless. Honestly the whole time I watched it, I kept thinking of Dawson's Creek Tamara and Pacey. LOL. If you know, you know.While this movie was cute and the storyline was pretty interesting I wasn't a big fan of the character growth. Like one second they are cold as ice and then literally 2 seconds later they suddenly love each other? I just don't understand that. And not even (what feels like) a week later, marriage is being tossed around. Hoooooold up. That is WAYYYYY to fast. I mean I get some people do go that fast and things work out.. but... I don't know, it's just weird. Lol This movie it weird.
Can we talk about that kiss scene though? Hot damn O_O wasn't expecting that and damn did it set my mind ablaze. I don't know if I can trust anyone that didn't like that scene. lol jkjk
Another issue I had with the movie was they kept making it out like she was some child. Even her uncle says "She's a child!!" bruh... she's 18 and graduating. What the hell? I really don't understand this and I don't think I ever will. People really think "you're a child" when you're 17/18 in high school, raising your hand to even get permission to use the bathroom, but the MOMENT you graduate, you're a adult and it's time to be tossed out on your butt because you're a adult now.... That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. I'm mad now and don't even remember where I was going with this but hopefully someone is like "ah, I get what you mean.". X_X
In the end though, I really loved the ending. I thought it was cute and needed. It took everything I had to not skip to the end and see how it all played out. That's how stressed this movie kept me. Haha but it was worth the wait. It was interesting.

Not bad
I found this movie and im pleasantly surprise.I see many reviews stating it's mediocre at best but i find it not bad.
Story progresses pretty fast since it's a movie not a serries. Some typical drama cliches and cute moments. Little back story which can be explore a little bit more.
The romance did happen a bit tad fast but it's fine, Komatsu Nana dit a really really good job with her poker-face character. And when she did express emotions it's really adorable. The main lead was fine a typical handsome actor, the chemistry between Yuni and Haruka is not bad, i have seen worse.
Kissing scenes not sure if it's "japanese" wat of kissing but it seems to be a little off compared to kdramas and chinese.
All in all is not bad movie
