My fellows I rarely write a review EVER, but this movie deserves one....

If I am saying that I have not cried that much in 5-7 years then I really mean it.
I am not talking bout light flakey tears, I am talking bout sobbing, non stop rivers of tears.
So if you are down for a emotional ride and a good cry. Here you go.

Got this movie recommended and thought it would be fun to watch as a time killer. Oh boy was I wrong.

The main and side characters are all so pure, innocent, genuine and kind-hearted.
I love it the most, when people are considerate, understanding and patient. This movie was the definition of it.
The story is so natural and refreshing, the actors and actresses. MY GOD. THEIR ACTING.... M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E!

It is a true delight and I am very grateful for the director and everyone involved in this movie, because it might be my favorite movie in maybe 4 years? Everything is a built up of a perfect end result.

I finished it 10 minutes ago and my feelings are still very raw and I aam still slightly overwhelmed.
It literally awakened so many feelings I have not felt in a long time.

I just read that many people rated it relatively lowly, because of the ending.
But guys honestly the ending is maybe 10 minutes of the whole movie.
There are 1h and 50min left to enjoy fully, which are so worth it.

Idk if you can even call it a review, but this is what I felt and I think I should share it with you guys.
If you are down for an emotional awakening, this movie is IT! Especially when you have been very numb for a long time.

If you have plans later that day and want to meet friends after the movie I totally not recommend. Your eyes will be very red and you will feel MANY emotions.

Its 2am and im bawling my eyes out. I dont think im physically and mentally able to sleep after this

I went couldn't sleep, so i decided to watch a movie instead. This movie had been on my "to watch" list for a while, so i decided to watch this, thinking it would be a cute highschool romcom. Now it's 2 am and I'm bawling my eyes out. When I tell you it felt like my stomach sank.

At first I was scared the main couple would be between Bo Ra and Hyun Jin. I really hoped that Bo Ra would go for Woon Ho. So I was so happy when I found out I was right. Their chemistry is just everything.

Although the miscommunication between Bo Ra and Yeon Doo was so darn frustrating, I think it really improved the story. Im just never a fan of miscommunication, which sounds pretty obvious, but i just get so frustrated when things go wrong because of it.

I also want to say that I truly love Bo Ra's character. I love how she is not the girly girly type and i really love how well athletic she is. I just basically love everything about her.

Now for the last point, as i said before, it's 2am as im writing this and as i just finished watching. So everyone is asleep. For someone who normally watches cute scene with giggling and feetkicking, overreacting is something i always do. So for me to not be able to react to the moment I found out Woon Ho died, let's say i also died with him. My cheeks were like waterfalls, my stomach was in a rollercoaster, but i wasn't able to make any sound.

I am not okay.

kdrama writers really said 2022 is the year to cry

Everybody was literally crying in the reviews when it came out so I was like okay I'll give it a try. And the first half of the movie everything was pretty nice and cute but then the second half came and then that's where I saw that this is going to be an emotional roller coaster. In all caps 'WHY DID THE MALE LEAD HAVE TO DIE WHY COULDN'T IT BE A HEA FOR BOTH OF THEM!!!' Overall I absolutely love the plot, I fell in love with the characters. I would definitely watch this again even though it'll probably make me cry.

"Na Bo-ra, JOAHANDA!!!"

It's cute, straight to the point and heartfelt.
This Bora's love story, I either love it and hate it, love it for how this obviously gave me dokidoki feelings and I hate it in some parts where Bora tried to buried her feelings for the sake of friendship.
So, I just think this is well done, hit the right spots, enjoyable.

I never watch Kim Yoojung in K-drama but I've watched/finished a varshow called "Young Actor's Retreat" few weeks ago, I loved her there, so It's nice to see her here.

KIM YOOJUNG, SARANGHAE!!!

heartwarming

The more I progressed, the more I enjoyed it, I really didn't get bored at any time in the movie, the actors are very good at their work, I could feel somewhat identified with Bora, I also loved the retro setting, especially the camera effect.
The message about friendship, love, honesty, selflessness, trust, suffering and more is very well represented and beautiful. I cried too much at the end, I didn't expect it ! ♡

Heartbreaking.

Cried a lot. I thought maybe people were overreacting but it really just is that sad. If you don't want to cry don't watch this. The story and everything was very good but I wish it could've ended happier. There was so much potential for it to be perfect. The leads were so cute together. Ending was bad due to it being a sad ending, still happy I watched but I'll truly never recover from this, I'm so incredibly sad right now after watching this. If you like cute romance melodramas with horrible sad endings you'll probably like this, I'm still so sad.

I lived an alternative life for a bit under two hours :)

Lately, it's been really hard to find something interesting to watch. Simply nothing seemed to make me live the story for real. That was, of course, before getting to this movie. While I can't say it's the best ever or something so exaggerated, it was a really good movie. For some reason I simply went with the story without the impulse to predict everything, which is new for me. I could just allow myself to be surprised and live every emotion.

SPOILER!

Yes, it did break my heart and it took me a while to get emotionally better, but that simply proves it was good. It left a mark, it didn't just pass; it was the kind of story that stays with you.
I, for one, adore tragedies especially because of this lasting impact and also because they represent life more honestly than the "happy ever after". If you don't mind a sad twist, it will definitely be your type of movie.
It still hurts my heart to think about it, but I love that it could do that. I missed this feeling!

P.S.: I NEVER rewatch what i saw. Giving it an 8 for rewatch value proves its good enough to see again. It would be as if I was looking back on memories.

My heart can't handle this......

I never write official reviews about anything but I had to come to this ASAP (tears still in my eyes) to talk about this.

First, the plot was cliche but cute! The love triangle(?), between Kim Yoojung, Byeon Wooseok, and Park Jungwoon characters was cute but I also feel like it was random. Not out of place random but just odd? in a cute way? I enjoyed the bickering between Bora and Hyunjin though, that was super funny, and playful and kept the mood light. The acting in the movie was amazing, I absolutely love Kim Yoojung's acting, she's iconic always.

*Spoiler below*



IF THEY DON'T STOP ENDING SOMETHING GREAT WITH A DEVASTATING ENDING..... I'M NOT GOING TO STOP WATCHING BUT DAMN MY HEART IS. F R A G I L E! That was a plot twist I was not expecting NOR DID I ASK FOR IT! 2521 broke me, but they just didn't work out. THIS THOUGH?!?! UNCALLED FOR. WONDERFUL MOVIE. UNCALLED FOR.

So I say, if you want a romcom that will have you kicking your feet, blushing, giggling, laughing, and then crying your eyes out because your heart WAS NOT ready, this is the movie for you. It's overall an amazing movie!

90s love stories are really something..

Finally I watched this hyped movie too.My sister also recommended it, though I already knew the ending of it and getting all spoilers still started to watch it for 90s flavoured love story lyk twenty five twenty one ,still I can't get over from it.To be honest that drama serial has my whole heart.
Besides I really like kim yoo,she's so pretty and talented. She did really really well.
As expected I must say 90s love stories are really something that's simple,cute and pure. Maybe there'll be heartbroken but still full of love, joy and overloaded purity. ??

made the mistake of not checking the tags

(Vague spoilers only)

This movie was great -- wonderfully acted, so beautiful, so funny, emotionally resonant, and just really heartfelt. However, I made the mistake of not checking the tags here on MDL; I just saw the movie on Netflix and thought it was going to be a cute romance. And it was, but it's also a tearjerker for sure and Netflix didn't warn me!! I don't even know the last time a movie made me cry this much. Not even just the ending, but other moments throughout, whenever Bora cried it was like I was crying too. Everything about Woonho's story made me cry, and I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it haha. Their actors were absolutely amazing, though I thought Yeondoo's and Hyunjin's actors did really well too. Bora's dad was a really fun addition and gave levity when it was needed.

Definitely worth watching but bring tissues.

Without answers!

I re-watched the last part searching for answers and there isn't any clue, or might i be blind? Does anyone know how or why Woon Ho died?
I mean how is it possible to not mention it. Bo Ra was dying to know about him but when Joseph talks to her, he doesn't say anything about it.
It was a very nice, smooth and sweet movie, but howwwwwwww or whyyyyyyyy? Another doubt, what was going on with Woon Ho's dad?
MMM would it be related to the 2ky change.... so he disappeared because of it? I'm delusional . HELP!
