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 was so touched by this film that i cried like a baby at the end of the film. Such a powerful emotional film that i would suggest to anyone to watch it. The film is so good and the actors are quite good if not excellent. I really love this movie. This is one of the Japanese film finest work...

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.

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.

This movie looks so so beautiful, is well acted, and touched me on an emotional level(which not many movies can do).

Yet I can look over the fact that for 45min-1h in the middle, nothing really happens, which bugs me a lot. You could really skip this part and still understand the ending.

The story is also too nonsensical at some points, many random time skips and while sometimes the movie tells you too much, instead of just showing you, at other points it doesn't explain anything.
