The Feel Good Part
People who appreciate slow-paced films will enjoy this to the utmost; the romance can seem strange at times, and the majority of the film’s viewers are teenagers.
The Disappointing Factor
The plot is fairly uninteresting. It’s a slice of life, so don’t hold your breath for much. Some may argue that there were a few story gaps that left me perplexed.
