Summary: Hiro Sakurai is the rebel of the school with bleached hair. Mika Tahara is a quiet, sweet girl who’s afraid of Hiro. One day, she loses her cell phone, only to find it again in the library. It turns out that Hiro stole Mika’s phone to get the number and then he calls her at home. Over summer they talk on phone and fall in love. Mika doesn’t know who he is, and is curious to find out his identity. When school starts again, she realizes that the person on the phone is Hiro and is at first apprehensive. Then she decides to trust him (becuase he’s so sweet) and they start to date, despite the fact that his ex-girlfriend and friends plans to break them up. Suddenly, Hiro breaks up with Mika for no apparent reason in their sophmore year of high school and disappears. It’s not until university when she finds out what really happened to Hiro.
Impression: I didn’t care for this movie because I disagree with the morals and it was really sad. Not my cup of tea. First of all, if they really loved each other, they would tell each other the truth…even if it hurts. love doesn’t always feel good/happy, but it’s about being honest. At least she found out the truth at the end. The plot is pretty standard and the characters aren’t special, although there were some really sweet scenes between Hiro and Mika. I wonder if the drama will be different from the movie. I watched the movie on mysoju.com. Check it out if you liked “…ing” (Korean movie) or “Millionaire’s First Love” (Korean movie).
