I have just seen this Japanese film and I say, it was pretty good. I love it. It is a love story between a rather melancholic young man and a feisty, confident young woman.
The girl or woman, Koharu, turned a loner into a more confident guy. Koharu discouraged maudlin thoughts and would talk over on sad subjects, thereby ignoring it!
The back story was that Ryota’s young brother died of prolonged illness due to cancer. Ryota felt a bit guilty thinking that his brother’s death was rather a relief in the end.
There were some really cute, sweet moments between these two that you really wanted them to have a happy ending. They talked about having a large family of two boys and a girl.
But this is a Japanese film, where it will wring your emotion like a soggy sponge. 🙂
They were engagingly loved up but then one day Koharu said they had to break up. She was resolute.
Ryota (the guy) did not have a choice but to accept the break-up.
After three weeks, he found himself another girlfriend, who was slightly obsessing with his previous relationship with Koharu.
As much as Ryota wanted to forget Koharu, he thought of her all the time and compared the current girlfriend with her.
He broke up with his current girl-friend and went back to Koharu, who still would not take him back. But he found out that Koharu was ill and her ovaries had to be taken out due to cancerous cells. This was the reason Koharu broke up with Ryota. She can’t have children with him.
Anyway, the effigy of Colonel Saunders of KFC helped them to have a more lasting relationship. (Don’t ask me!!! 🙂 ) Ryota loved Koharu wholeheartedly that he married her anyway despite her inability to have children. Ahhhh
