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 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.

Much better than i was expecting and surprised me a lot.

The story is very sad, but also very beautiful!! Man i was crying a little in some scenes.

The acting is beautiful, congrats to the main couple and everybody else!

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.

The acting was really good and the plot of this movie was amazing. It's was really worth my 2 hours of the day. I love how they're showing so many different topics.

The fear of running out of time, the feeling not to be good enough, the fear of getting older, the fear that if you're not perfect that you will lose the person you love the most, to hurt the one person you love so they can move on from you even tho you love them so much, and more.

It's amazing how it is connected with the spring and how much you can love a person even tho you just met them! Love like that is precious! And the sad thing about that is that this kind of love is rare nowadays. I hope everyone who hasn't found the one will find them soon. Because everyone deserves to be loved like that. Thank you.
