kuro Apr 06 2021 3:55 pm respect the real life Hisashi, a man who is devoted to his beloved. It's so sad when Mai started to recognize members of her family but can't recall Hisashi that always by her side. Well, you can't have a rainbow with any rain. and good for him, and her as well. at the end they got together as married couple.

Min Oct 11 2020 10:48 pm I had the illness similar to Mai - Anti NMRI NMRII Inflammatory. A teratoma in my ovary caused the antibodies to attack my brain. But I am much luckier than Mai bcoz I lost only the new memories (a few months) as the new messages cannot be received by the brain.

Zyla Jun 21 2020 1:41 am I just cried in the end of this movie...its so touching that they got married after all that happens..

Vangie Apr 14 2020 5:26 am It's a heartwarming lovestory. So nice ang surreal at the same time that such love exists in this world. Their is an actual photo of the real couple at the end of the film. The guy really looks like a very very good person. Jolly and just the ray of sunshine.

Saood May 25 2019 7:41 pm Just watched it. The songs' language is a weird one cannot place it. The banquet hall employee is so thin and sexy. Also the bf is such a nice guy,

Doiremi Feb 09 2019 5:42 am I never imagined that a Himura and Misao tandem would make me cry. Brilliant acting by the couple and Tao is just beautiful here. Love it ❤️

Vivian Dec 24 2018 1:17 pm I do love the chemistry of Hisashi & Mai, it is tear jerking to see Hisashi's unlimited love for Mai. Such a sweet love which is actually exists on this world. Personally rate : 9/10

Erlyn Apr 03 2018 6:03 am Love is patience and it's unconditional love. Every love story has a happy ending. They potray their character in a excellent way. If you love the person, your heart never changes eternally.
