Secret Fruit (2017)

Kinda cute, but will also make you feel something

When I was looking for something to watch from Nana, I was intrigued by this because i also saw Arthur Chen in the cast.

I wasn't really expecting anything when i watched this, all i know is i just wanna watch something where Nana is in it. In the beginning, it was kinda meh, like the way they built up the characters and the story was uninteresting at first because it's like your typical youth love story with family drama in it, but when it got to the 2nd half of the story it actually got better, because the love triangles got thrown in. also, they've expanded on the family drama and i was like "Ohh? this is serious..." like suddenly i found myself caring for FL and ML and curious where the story would go, though it was predictable (in a good way).

The characters were okay because again it's your usual youth love story, but the dynamic between FL and ML was still cute along with the other side characters and also with the parents, and then again when it got to the 2nd half with all that drama and love triangle shit, the dynamic got even more interesting, the lines even though the mains are just high schoolers, carry such emotions and the way we get to hear what they think in their minds makes you feel for these characters.

Since this was in the early years of Nana and Arthur's career, the acting wasn't really the best, but it was still good. Arthur still has that smug expression that i saw in him in L&P, he's really good at acting cold characters. Nana, it was kinda of weird for me because i found her acting here much better than her acting in 'The Great Ruler' even though this movie was 3 years before TGR, I think it's got to do with the characters that she's playing, in TGR she was playing a Cold Goddess Princess that hasn't interacted with the mortals so she doesn't how to talk and act with the mortals, in conclusion, she's being held back by the character, while in here because of the heavy drama in the 2nd half she gets to showcase some ranges of emotions and expressions.

So yeah, good movie. I would probably rewatch it again and i highly recommend it if you want something cute but also with something that makes you feel.
