Candy and Kiss (2015)

On dirait un condensé de la vraie vie avec des hauts et des bas. J’ai vu beaucoup de dramas en multiples épisodes et le format film m’a bien plu ça change de rhythmique et donne cet effet condensé.

J’ai aimé le fait qu’on aborde l’état d’esprit des personnages en tant qu’individus et pas seulement leur physique ou leur relation à 2.

Quelques personnages secondaires qui jouent bien leurs rôles « supports » de l’histoire et qui par leurs interactions nous montrent qui sont vraiment nos 2 héros.

En résumé on attends, on a des papillons, on doute, ça réchauffe, on s’énerve, on s’aime 🥰

This movie is perfect in my eyes. Is the acting pretty bad? Yes it is. Are there a couple cliches? Yeah. Totally, but they're great.
This movie while very simplistic takes on a concept I've never seen before. The main character is a guy who is plagued by his anxiety. Because of this, there may be a time where the viewer'd get annoyed, but the ending is completely satisfying. It's a love story that leaves you with nothing but happiness. It's super pure and super sweet.
It's a JAPANESE MOVIE. I want to say that about every Japanese anything. Because of this, the way the movie is shot and the elements of it will be weird to someone who is not accustomed to Japanese stuff. However if you like Japanese stuff, this is perfect for you.

Rewatch value?: For you crazy BL fans, 100%.

STORY: This guy has always thought he was ugly and accepted himself this way. Then he falls in love with a guy and the situations lead them to start a relationship, but his insecurities keep him from being happy as he overthinks about everything. Typical BL format with a lot of communication issues between the couple. Good part is that they fix their problems right away and manage to get some good interactions. Their relationship is sweet and they do get a happy ending.
ACTING/CAST: They managed to make the characters seem as they should, although the supporting characters were really shallow.
MUSIC: Regular
REWATCH VALUE: 6/7
OVERALL: I liked it and the story was pretty consistent. It's a typical japanese BL and the ending is quite warming.

This movie was so different, I'm used to so many different types of storylines but I've never seen anything like this. I adored how they incorporated that people can have mental disorders, BUT with the right amount of love they can work around it and become happier. The chemistry was EXCELLENT between the actors, I could it feel through my phone screen how they felt about each other. The music was absent most of the time, which I don't really mind.. but that means there were awkward moments of staring LOL. Anyways loved the movie and would totally recommend it!

Sorpendentemente buena

Trabajador de una tienda está enamorado del gerente. La película cuenta el desarrollo de esta pareja.

La trama es sencilla, muy sencilla, es bastante plana. Realmente va bastante al grano, y no tiene demasiada floritura. Cuenta con los tipicos clichés de este tipo de películas pero tampoco están mal metidos. Al final, los problemas que sufren los personajes se sienten reales y llegas a olvidarte de que es una mala película en algunos momentos.

La actuación en general es penosa, sobre todo en la primera parte de la película, pero hay momentos en los cuales te crees lo que dicen los actores. La escenografía tampoco ayuda, es algo sosa. Siendo del 2015, que "no tiene tanto tiempo" deberia haber sido algo mejor.

Intenté verla una vez y desistí porque los primeros minutos son bastante cutres, pero volví a darle una oportunidad y mira, no ha estado tan mal.

¿La recomiendo? Pues mira, si, si no tienes nada mejor que hacer si

I love this movie

Kiss and candy is a great name for this movie because it is just like candy and I keep rewatching it! So sweet. I get the main character with his social and emontional problems 100% The seme of this couple is so kind and doting. I love this movie have I said? The problems the couple face are all self made but in a way that is realistic and understanble. This is a shorter movie but a wonderful love story. The two leads are adorable together while still being realistivly awkward. The dancing around each other in this is pretty short lived and most of the movie is them figuring out how to be in a serious relationship as adults. Its really sweet. Would totally recommend!

Good story

Good story. I bet the manga was better because they could fit more in. This understandably seemed squished given the short time frame it has to be portrayed in. Though the kissing and sometimes the acting was really awkward. Especially on the part of Yagii-san. I don't think the actors kissed at all. That's ok with me. I can understand how that must be uncomfortable, and we aren't progressive enough to be at a point where people of the same gender kissing is as normal and comfortable as people of different genders kissing. It just felt... homophobic. Not that the actors or the show itself was homophobic. Ok, since the literal meaning of Homophobic is scared of homosexual people, then yes, both are homophobic. But it feels invalidating to queer people. If you can't fully betray it, then get different actors? Do I feel that this representation is better than nothing? Yes, but does that have to be my standard in 2021? I don't think so.
