Love Like the Falling Petals

I thought I was prepared emotionally when I decided to see this Japanese film, «Love Like the Falling Petals» in Netflix. The title itself gives a premonition how the plot of the story will evolve. Yet when it ends, it somehow gives a much deeper impact. Yes, it is heartbreaking... and yes, it is heartwarming. It reminds me of the Taiwanese series «More Than Blue». Both revolve around a young couple whose endearing love was brutally hindered by the twist of fate.

One thing for sure though, these two dramas are undoubtly gifted with excellent performances, especially the male leading roles. They are just fantastic actors and actresses!

I still can't get over K and Cream's most unselfish love to each other in «More Than Blue». This time, it is Harutoo and Misaki's.

Feel the happiness and the sadness they feel... and be enchanted how true love can give us pain and satisfaction.

I liked how the main characters encouraged each other. I liked how they started to enjoy each other's company more and more.

The honest emotions of what happened next and the portrayal of the emotions was very touching and done to really invoke empathy.

It was really surprising to see what happened and how things progressed.

Just seeing how things can happen in life and the way love can unfold is something else.

It's hard to talk about this movie without giving away spoilers.

The movie's end other than the obvious emotions, I like how it drew from nostalgia and appreciating the other person.

It's a totally weepie and weep movie any of you out there. This movie's plot is too unexpected yet it's too sweet to called a romantic movie. First half this movie go with love romantic and some emotional story line but last half, for last half you definitely need tissue paper to wipe up your tears. It tell us about sacrifice, love and pain a one person endure to give best moment to surrounding people. But that person don't want anything in return, that person can sacrifice to see surrounding people happy. If you ask me can I recommend this movie to you?! Obviously I recommend to you no matter which situation you are in it will bring your tears.

I am a bit of a sucker for a weepie and weep I did. This film tells a moving story and finds some unexpected moments of poignancy to add. The actors draw you in to their heart-ending predicament.

If weepies are not your thing you might not fall for this film as I did. Otherwise give it a try.

Such a sweet movie. Of course it's not that good because doesn't developed the love story, everything went very fast , but the characters have chemistry and they're actually really cute together. I really like the colors and the photograph of the movie, love this kinda of Japanese movies they always pass the feelings and make me feel emocional.
