I've watched the anime version and I gotta admit, I was hooked. I had great expectations for the live action movie since I knew well where the story was going. There's no denying that the love story of our comedic couple varies greatly from what we are used to. I was really happy with the casting. Both leads were exceptionally beautiful with the characters they're portraying. I mean, they look like human animes. But then again, it's Japan so what do you expect? ahahaha When it comes to acting though, err not much of a fan. They could have done better. Like in Riza's case, she should try lessening her hand gestures LOL |spoiler alert: IT'S OBVIOUS SHE LIKES MOVING| I recon other JDoramas and their respective actors and actresses. I think to myself, "Well yea, they tend to overreact a little bit. So no biggie." As long as it doesn't ruin the plot, it's okay. I like the pacing. Fast. Though I would very much like to have a live action series rather than a compacted movie. There are many comedic scenes omitted. And those lovey-dovey scenes too! (oh gosh which BTW were so adorable in the anime version) I'd love to see Riza's makeover. Other characters' progression. And many more. I wish Japan would make a full length series out of it. I mean, how hard can it be? (lol so easy for me to say but why not hahaha) Itazura Na Kiss has done a makeover on itself. And it's a helluva better version OUT OF ALL IT STARTED WITH A KISS SERIES IN THE WORLD. But overall I like the story. Laughed with the special addition. (Guess who!) Love the actors and actresses playing. Am somewhat bitter on the "acting" part. And umm... Maity! Dear Gawsh! Why I mean why is maity like that?! SORRY... And umm... well, my opinion doesn't matter really. You better watch it and say for yourself. Like I said, I've watched the anime so there's still a tinge of bias in me. Many people hated it. Can't say I have reached that point. Fortunately. It's not bad as it sounds. It's a likable, so-so, feel good movie. Worthy of every LoveCom (hopeless romantic) fan out there. PLus it's funny. Come on! At least for me LOL :D HAHAHAHA
