What I loved most: Sudden twist in the story

What I really hated: Poor acting by Nao Minamisawa, some scenes were too dramatic

***CONTAINS SPOILER*** Initially, I was lost in the complexity of the storyline but as the story developed, I started to grasp the understanding of what's going on. As I try to draw my conclusions on how Mei was related to Atsushi's mother, I was shocked when the truth unveiled. I found Nao's acting to be very unconvincing and lack of emotion. Like when she saw Sara Nakagawa jump off the building or when she saw the possessions of Riku Takahashi (knowing he was dead). I didn't watch the drama but I hope it wasn't as bad as this. The scene which struck me most memorable was that Taka escaped death by a mere distance yet unfortunately turning to escape, he got hit by the next car. It made me realise how luck can run out in the next second. The ending wasn't pleasant as it was sort of inconclusive imo. Overall, I think it's still worth watching - some really touching scenes (:

What I loved most: The background music

What I really hated: The ending and usual tactics from typical Japanese storyline

Don't expect too much from this movie if you are a big fan of Japanese romance movies. Overall, this portrays a comfortable feeling for the audience yet presents a few unexpected scenes that shocks you for a lifetime. It is indeed quite touching if you are able to keep up with the complexity of this story.
