Instant romance between two attractive people. Little to no plot.
Overall: For a romance movie it was ....alright. :/------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot: I disliked the way it started out but I started to warm up to Mikami and the relationship between him and An as the story progressed. The relationship wasn't so bad but a lot of it didn't make sense to me. Mikami's behavior from the beginning is bizarre and borderline pervy. If he wasn't hot he wouldn't have gotten away with most of it basically. An's behavior was passive and frustrating to watch. Nevertheless a relationship develops between them through sudden kisses, archery, opening up to each other little by little, and some side characters that served as jealousy bait and scene filler. It was hard to feel connected to the story because it happened so abnormally and it just seemed like two, shallow attractive characters in situations that were supposed to convey closeness, without any reason for either of them to love the other. A lot of it was straight up confusing unless you're just watching for the kisses and ship. Near the end I was just like.......What??? WHY??? There's a big conflict that makes no sense at all and was so hard to watch. Pretty unsatisfying ending for me as well. I feel like it could been directed way better.
Cast/Acting: The attractive cast made up for the lackluster acting for me. And I say lackluster because sometimes they were overacting and sometimes they were underacting and rarely the acting seemed genuine. An was super pretty/cute yet annoyingly coy but still sweet, Mikami was so handsome, you could almost excuse his aloof and odd behavior, and the extras were attractive. However the characters had little development or depth mainly from lack of plot and sensible conflict.
Music: The music was pretty wack if you think about everything or anything else they could've used, however it was fitting to the scenes and wasn't to cringe if you didn't pay attention.
Rewatchablity: I WOULD WATCH/REWATCH THIS IF I WANTED TO SEE TWO ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE KISS AND MAKEUP WITH NO REAL PLOT OTHER THAN ARCHERY AND FILLER SUB CHARACTERS. THIS IS DEF SHOJO.
