Love Like the Falling Petals

I thought I was prepared emotionally when I decided to see this Japanese film, «Love Like the Falling Petals» in Netflix. The title itself gives a premonition how the plot of the story will evolve. Yet when it ends, it somehow gives a much deeper impact. Yes, it is heartbreaking... and yes, it is heartwarming. It reminds me of the Taiwanese series «More Than Blue». Both revolve around a young couple whose endearing love was brutally hindered by the twist of fate.

One thing for sure though, these two dramas are undoubtly gifted with excellent performances, especially the male leading roles. They are just fantastic actors and actresses!

I still can't get over K and Cream's most unselfish love to each other in «More Than Blue». This time, it is Harutoo and Misaki's.

Feel the happiness and the sadness they feel... and be enchanted how true love can give us pain and satisfaction.

Such a sweet movie. Of course it's not that good because doesn't developed the love story, everything went very fast , but the characters have chemistry and they're actually really cute together. I really like the colors and the photograph of the movie, love this kinda of Japanese movies they always pass the feelings and make me feel emocional.

This movie looks so so beautiful, is well acted, and touched me on an emotional level(which not many movies can do).

Yet I can look over the fact that for 45min-1h in the middle, nothing really happens, which bugs me a lot. You could really skip this part and still understand the ending.

The story is also too nonsensical at some points, many random time skips and while sometimes the movie tells you too much, instead of just showing you, at other points it doesn't explain anything.

It's a totally weepie and weep movie any of you out there. This movie's plot is too unexpected yet it's too sweet to called a romantic movie. First half this movie go with love romantic and some emotional story line but last half, for last half you definitely need tissue paper to wipe up your tears. It tell us about sacrifice, love and pain a one person endure to give best moment to surrounding people. But that person don't want anything in return, that person can sacrifice to see surrounding people happy. If you ask me can I recommend this movie to you?! Obviously I recommend to you no matter which situation you are in it will bring your tears.

Much better than i was expecting and surprised me a lot.

The story is very sad, but also very beautiful!! Man i was crying a little in some scenes.

The acting is beautiful, congrats to the main couple and everybody else!
