Sweet and Realistic

I really liked this movie and all the characters in it. The movie is entirely from the ML's point of view as we see him fall in love with the FL as a child and later grows up to follow her and his dream. I loved his devotion to the FL and I loved the friendship between the leads. Even though we don't see any of this story from the FL's point of view, you can see that she also loves him, maybe as much as he does her.

What I found really realistic about this movie was the relationship between the leads. How they both clearly love each other and want to be more but don't bring it up to each other because they don't know how the other feels. Their relationship seemed like that of two people who are holding on to each other for fear of losing the other person if they ever admitted their feelings. The FL was very forward with the ML in the sense that she did so much to make sure the ML was next to her, going so far as to make him her assistant. The ML also moved all the way to her school to be next to her, but he never tells her this. His shyness and nervousness prevent him from being as open to her as she is with him. She even criticised him for treating her like a stranger when they see each other, and that is because he's too nervous to do anything else. But she forces her way in, in a way that he both likes and accepts.

I loved that they are immediately able to click and be friends after seeing each other several years later. It's like their relationship was just on pause and immediately resumed after meeting each other. Despite all the years, they've never forgotten each other and seem to value each other a lot.

The actors also seem to have good chemistry, though I would have liked to see more scenes between the ML and FL. Midway through, right when a romantic attachment was begining to form between the charecters, the actors started to have fewer scenes together until the end.

The entire plot is revolved around the ML's love for the FL and the FL's persuel of her childhood dream that prompts the ML to also go after his. It's a very sweet and fluffy romance with nothing else to it, great for when you don't want watch anything serious.
