Should have watched the prequel first
When I started this movie it felt very rushed and the story was definitely missing something. I had no idea there was a 2 episode prequel to this and I regret not starting with that. Other than that, it was a really good movie, and my first Japanese movie to add.
I really liked the FL. I understood why she liked the SML at first but I preferred her dynamic with the ML more. The ML is litterally the kid who bullies the girl he has a crush on. He makes it very obvious that he likes her and calls her "dumb" for not getting it. But then again, with the way he was treating her, it made sense for her to dislike him, and not get this point at all considering how badly she was bullied in her old school. The SML was sweet but really boring, I didn't understand his character at all, until the last 10 minutes of the movie.
Edited after prequel: After watching the prequel I can say that his character is actually worse than I expected. He was using the FL for the majority of their relationship in order to retaliate against the ML, that is until he grows to actually like her. I hated how he believed himself to be the better person when he knew, before the ML did, that the ML liked her. He knew that the ML genuinely cared for the FL before he pretended to care for the FL, and yet he throws shade at the ML and tells him to back off. I mean WTF.
I didn't like all the unnecessary drama that came up towards the end of this movie. I feel like they could have extended the ending of this movie to make it better and maybe slowed down the pace at the start.
The best part about this move was the ending. The dynamics completely change between the FL and ML. I mean when the ML was chasing the FL he was very confident about it, but when she finally reciprocated, he got so shy it was adorable. Would have loved it if this was longer and we got to see more of the FL and ML together as a couple. I really wanted to see more of them in the new dynamic where thay are both equal as opposed to slave/master dynamic they had for the majority of this movie.
