I went into this only for King & Prince's Hirano Sho, but came out thoroughly pleased with how it was executed. There were parts of it that follow the standard shoujo format, and parts of it that I think could have been avoided overall or amended (the unnecessary subplot of the female lead being 'in love' with her uncle, for example) but it did surprise me. The male lead's character is honest and true with his feelings, and though there's conflict, the tone of the movie is quite uplifting. For all that it lacks, Honey makes up for in it's heart. I think I'll definitely give it another watch sometime.

Music gets a 6.0 because most of the music was slightly unexpected English songs, but it doesn't really take away from the movie.
