1. From Me to You
Japanese Movie - 2010
Beautiful, sweet and heart fluffy high school romance.
I normally didn't really into high school romance but this movie really left a huge impact in my heart. This type of high school love story and how they portray their love for each other really make me happy and overjoy.
Miura Haruma as Kazehaya Shouta and Tabe Mikako as Kuronuma Sawako, really perfect for each other.
Note: There is a drama that both of them as lead couple in 2014 (Boku No Ita Jikan a.k.a The Hours Of My Life - but this one is a melodrama and sad/tragic love story) + new romance movie in 2019 (Little Nights, Little Love).
