L♥DK: Two Loves Under One Roof (2019)

Excuse me while I go all soft and mushy. Lol I loved this movie! Don't get me wrong, I stayed stressed out the whole time. Did I need to be? Not a bit! This is probably the first time a movie has started out happy and ended happy. Lol
I kept waiting for some hellacious stuff to happen -- and while it did have it's up and down moments I'm so happy things worked out in the end! Also, I had no idea this was technically the second movie. >__< I'll have to find and watch the first one soon.

Not happy how his cousin and brother shit talked her most of the time. Like you see how happy they both are and you see how healthy their relationship is, yet because she doesn't fit YOUR standards, she's not good enough? Are you kidding me? While I wish he had popped off on them, I get why he didn't. I'm glad she blew up on Reon. I freaking swear I wanted to hit him. Lol His character is such.... well.... the more I think about it, his character really is American. Holy hell I'm shocked it took me this long to realize it. Lol the actor definitely played him well.

I feel like this movie is a rare gem not enough people know about. I mean, how often do you get love triangles.... that aren't even love triangles? Lol So many times we see one person get swayed. But not here. Main characters had eyes only for each other. My heart freaking shattered when he told her he was thinking about going to America.

The ending was super cute but I was still stressed out the teachers would find out the big secret and hell would break lose. X_X It's weird how the movie is over and I'm still stressing over this. Like they aren't even real!! LOL good grief! smh

So this movie is a sequel to the first L-DK from 2014 but it recasted all the characters and It takes place a little time after the first movie takes place. I really liked this one, BUT it does feel so disconnected from the first movie, while also making it that if you don't watch it, you miss so much information because the flashbacks are so small and don't make justice to the first movie. Regardless I think that I liked the new L-DK better. The pace didn't feel Rushed and Shusei was not playing with the FL's feelings. He actually really was in love with her.

Characters
I think my problem is that, while they just recasted the characters and left the story the same, it doesn't feel like they are the same characters. ML had a bigger presence in the first movie, being a person that seemed almost like a troublemaker, while in the new one he feels like a quiet straightface guy, to the point that, the SML reminded me more of the original Shusei. Mone Kamishiraishi reminds me also of the Aoi from the first 10 mins of the original movie. More outgoing and fun. She also got to reenact those amazing few minutes of the first movie too, so I believed she is Aoi.
