the first part kinda triggered me cos i thought there was cheating involved lol.

the story was good, though a bit cliché, especially the ending.

bella and jc's acting was really good, as expected from them. but the side characters kind of ruin the mood every time they are in the scenes. 

some of the dialogue was also kind of cringey. though ellis' punchlines were all great and heartfelt.

i like the transitions from the present to their memories or imaginations. it was smooth and well thought out.

the soundtracks were also perfect for the scenes; they enhanced the mood and made it more emotional. 

i like how ellis was honest with his feelings and laid out his intentions.

i love astrud's honesty, straightforwardness, and humor. she knows what she wants—what she needs—and explained it to ellis with great clarity. she didn't give ellis any false hope. and i like how relatable she is. (this part might be debatable, depending on the viewer's perspective.) 

all in all, it was still a good movie, but it was not what i expected from the hurt-felt tandem.
