Ai Uta: My Promise To Nakuhito (2019)

That last scene GUTTED me. Ai Uta is a story about what to do when you're struck with a life threatening illness. You'll see this plot in Midnight Sun, Everything Everything, and my personal favorite Five Feet Apart. I won't lie I'm a sucker for a good tragedy and sick romance tearjerkers. I've seen everything from the much older A Walk to Remember and Sweet November to the more current 50/50 and Love And Other Drugs. I've even watched Asian melodrama like Always, Fated to Love You, and Kill Me Heal Me. And like I said just personal preference but my favorite sick rom would definitely be Everything Everything and Five Feet Apart. But the reason Ai Uta didn't deliver the same impact because it was just all over the place. The main lead was clearly heading toward a bromance with a guy from his school and then half way through the film bam! Insta love with a new girl. It was so jarring and completely annoyed me because it was so forced and just there for the melodrama effect for people who only want straight couples I guess. I don't know but it made the whole story shallow and meandering. That said I like the overall message and there were some really good things in the story so you should watch and figure it out for yourself.
