One Second Ahead of Her (2023)

Funny and Adorable Story

This story showed that fate always brings the one that are meant to you.. In life, you encounters with people, falling in love but if its meant to be with you, it will.. Sometimes you never know your love one is actually closer than you can imagine.. It was interesting and fun plot ^_^

Masaki Okada was hilarious here xD It totally different roles than he ever had.. I can't with him xD While Kiyohara Kaya as a college student totally fit her.. This movie didn't use physical contact to show the love.. Just reminiscent childhood memories that brought back the feeling from him, and the girl trying to make moves yet knowing the situation so just look from afar.. They showed two different perspective from both and delivered it beautifully.. It was well written plot ^_^

I really enjoyed watching it.. Highly recommended to watch ^_^

When God returned the time to those people who were always one step behind

I haven’t seen the original, but I know that the Japanese version has the genders reversed. It is a story about two people who have very different rhythms of life. Hajime is always one step ahead, while Reika is always one second behind. This alone will affect their destiny in this movie. The quirky and comedic setting is quite interesting, and the fantasy element is not too exaggerated, but it can be a bit confusing. The first half of the story is somewhat dull, but it becomes more enjoyable, engaging, and well-paced when the point of view switches to the female lead. As someone who hasn’t seen the original, I found this movie interesting and refreshing.

Oddly Charming, Albeit Late Blooming

Watching this out of curiosity, the first 1/3 into it was such a drab that I struggle to continue and had to take a break.
Fortunately afterwards it started to show its oddball charm. With a start of a mystery, along with more odd with a dash-of-crazy characters, the story unveils itself nicely and wraps all its threads neatly with no loose ends. As far as romance goes, don't expect much , because although feelings were involved, there's really no explicitly romantic acts in the movie. So If you can manage to get over the first 1/3 of it, the rest will be quite an interesting watch.
