I had certain expectations when I went to watch the movie. There were numerous positive reviews, and fans were abuzz about the tearjerking moments. As a fan of Win, I was particularly eager to see him speak in English. It was evident how focused and determined he was while attempting to speak in a non-native language-kudos to him for that!
Janella's acting was impeccable! I adored her character, but unfortunately, her role served as the sole saving grace of the movie. She portrayed her character beautifully, making the viewing experience enjoyable. I particularly relished the cute 'kilig' moments between the two actors.
However, there were some questionable aspects in the movie. Firstly, the love story between the two lead actors felt rushed. There was a lack of buildup, making it challenging for the audience to connect with their romantic journey. Their sudden union felt out of place, despite the occasional adorable moments. Additionally, there were instances where their facial expressions seemed awkward. Personally, I had hoped Parin would have received a different kind of closure, perhaps through a letter, instead of the news being delivered by someone he had never met.
Secondly, the absence of an explanation regarding Iris's backstory, particularly the discord between the sisters, was puzzling. The sisters' presence felt somewhat random, leaving viewers longing for more backstory to comprehend the narrative. It felt akin to joining a drama series midway through, without the necessary context to grasp the storyline.
Thirdly, the timeline of events could have been clearer. Providing viewers with a gauge of how much time had passed would have enhanced the viewing experience. Simply growing a beard or mustache doesn't effectively convey the passage of time; subtle additions to the characters' dialogue could have addressed this issue.
Overall, it's an enjoyable movie with its fair share of cute moments and attractive actors, but there is room for improvement. Additionally, I couldn't help but notice the inconsistency in Iris's makeup. What illness was she afflicted with? Her appearance at the end seemed reminiscent of someone infected by a zombie virus. Maybe it's my opinion....
