I loved the Blue Spring Ride manga, and the anime was also really cute, so I had high expectations for this live action. I was, unfortunately, disappointed.
STORY:
While it does follow the original storyline of both the manga and the anime, there is something lacking in the way the plot was carried out. When I read the manga my would squeal, scream, and even cry when something exciting happened. With this live action, I did none of that. It's not that it was bad, it was just pleasantly boring.
ACTING/CAST:
I have never seen two leads with less chemistry than the actors for Futaba and Kou. I liked the cast and I think they represented the characters well, but the actress for Futaba wasn't able to deliver that quirky spark that Futaba has. Overall, disappointed with the cast and the acting because it was so dry.
MUSIC:
The music will always be good because the BSR OST is the best hands down.
REWATCH VALUE:
Kind of low. I would only rewatch it if I was doing something that didn't require me to pay attention to it.
OVERALL:
I had very high expectations for this but unfortunately, it was not as good as I thought it was going to be.
