It had potential but fell through

Ive watched a fair share of tragic romance movies, and i would say this movie falls under 'mediocre'. I think the acting was solid, but the plot was mediocre and had an unexpected twist that will make you question why it happened in the first place.

Firslty, I couldnt seem to bond with the characters. There seemed to be a lack of proper development for most characters, or even if there was it just felt lackluster. I couldnt emphatise with any of the characters in this film, and its not like there wasnt any chance to empathise with them but i just couldn't feel strongly attached to any of them.

The romance between the two leads was also underwhelming. It was sweet and had potential to be developed even further if they had stuck to the whole first love/crush cliche but it had to end in the most tragic way possible which made me feel that the directors didnt give a chance for the romance to develop at all, and just ended it in the most sloppy way.

Tragic romances dont happen like magic. There's a build up to it -if you want the audience to feel sad for the character you need the audience to become emotionally attached to them. For this to happen, we need more development from this character, a bit more perspective into his/her life. When the ML died, it didnt make me feel sad, it made question why did he have to die. It was sudden and it felt forced.

And the ending where the brother invited her to an exhibition - this was so similiar to the japanese movie, Heavenly Forest. Even the artworks of the exhibition had to do with people - the resemblance was uncanny. But overall , the movie was ok. If you want something to kill time then this movie is for you.
