This is a cute, sweet movie about two people who have had difficulties finding and believing in real life love. Riko Shirano is a game designer. I like that she doesn’t cower and speaks up for herself. She’s pretty; it’s adorable that her dimple shows when she smiles. Although this came out in 2016, I still love her outfits and styling! Soichiro Kurokawa is the epitome of the cold, successful, driven company owner (adorable with his glasses on!). He has a three year one-sided love for an employee, the pretty Momose, but fails at some awkward attempts to show her his interest. So, he enlists Riko to be his Cyrano de Bergerac. She uses romantic movies to teach him all the romantic tropes such as the drunken piggy back ride and the airport scene. They become friends through sharing their stories; sometimes unpleasant and sad history. I like that through the act of getting to know each other, becoming friends first, lead to them falling in love. His love confession at the end is a dream come true for the romantics at heart. I love that we get a happy ending and a nice kissing scene.
