THE PERFECT WAY TO END A JOURNEY
Would you believe me if I told you that this is the only movie derived from any drama that I`ve ever watched?Sure, I`ve watched tens of dramas, but I was never really invested to see any special footage and/or extra material. I`ve always felt that it was unnecessary or better said, a drag. This one, however, I have downloaded on my PC in highest quality, despite not being the biggest fan of the whole searching for tiara and going through troubles and tribulations plot. As to why that is, the answer is simple: I just love seeing our F4 gang on screen, no matter what situation they might find themselves in. Again, the story of this movie makes absolutely no sense, which is why the grade for that part is so low. It`s ridiculous, campy, over-the-top and a big departure from the usual format.
That being said, it is still a BLAST to watch for the cast, the chemistry and THAT ENDING. Oh, 12-year-old me cried so much over that damn ending and pregnancy reveal, it`s not even funny. I`m so glad that they didn`t stick to the original ending of the anime nor the manga, because what they came up with is so, so much better. Once again, Mao Inoue and Matsumoto Jun own their roles of Makino Tsukushi and Doumyouji Tsukasa, fighting and making up, which, for people who are still complaining about this - at this point, it`s that couple dynamic that made this whole series popular in the first place. Plus, Tsukasa in this drama, including the movie, is heck of a lot less abusive and irritating than in both the manga and the anime, so I don`t know what to tell you. Just as a warning, don`t apply LOGIC to this movie nor to the rest of this story because, you`ll just be spoiling it for yourself. Let go of your perceived notions and enjoy the ride this movie has in store for you. I`m sure that you`ll be having a blast!
Oh, and for drama producers in the Japanese entertainment industry:Please cast Jun and Mao in another drama or movie, because they are literally the best Japanese drama couple I`ve ever seen. Don`t be dumb, thanks.
