The story just really warms your heart as it tackles the various relationships of people: with their sibling, their partner, the friend they have feelings for, and their parents. Each character have different issues that made them go back in time. Some of them have regrets, untold feelings, or things they want to find out but can't connect to the other person anymore. However, due to the rule that whatever you do in the past won't affect the present, these issues were not solved by time traveling. Instead, the characters had to pick themselves up from the present and continue their lives from there. Only this time with more understanding and courage.

The movie tells the viewers that we can't change the past and we should not spend our present regretting over it. Because it's the present that determines how our future would be like and whether the misery of the past was worth it. Another lesson is depicted through the line "drink your coffee before it gets cold," which basically says that do whatever it is you need to do before it's too late. Live in the present while it lasts.

I loved the movie for the stories and lessons. It was able to make me cry and fall in love without being too heavy or overwhelming. Although some of the aspects of time travel may not make sense sometimes, it's not much of a big deal if you won't let it get in the way of appreciating what the movie wants to show. Watch out for the old couple because they sure are my favorite!!! The way the old man smiles at his wife every time she gets happy looking at the fusion of coffee and milk just gets me every time ugh.

PS. Ito Kentaro is so cute and his character is just lovely. I already lowkey liked him before, but I officially have a crush on him now!!!
