i'm no avid fan of overly sweet romances unless done in either a captivating way or made me entertained so watching a movie such as this felt like revisiting the old school movies and the only thing missing is a grainy filter.

the way the story climaxed isn't entirely unique but i absolutely loved the way it progressed. as a viewer, the pacing didn't feel too overwhelming or tortoise slow... it felt just right. the soft ost was fitting to the delicate story that was told and added to the emotional impact of certain scenes.

with how stellar the cast was, it didn't entirely bore me. i guess the only downside was how i already saw the same plot before and didn't do much to keep my interest at its peak towards the end. perhaps a twist or some sort of alternate ending would've created a better impact to the story.

overall, this is a sweet romance enveloped with a bit of melodrama and what love can result to one's hard-hitting sacrifice.
