I decided to give this film a go seeing that its rated well here on IMDb. Alright, I actually managed to finish the movie but was cringing throughout. To those who has not watched it, please do dot.Who was the lead actor? I was expecting the dude who failed to make his feelings known back in college day, muster up courage to get on with his crush years later. That did not happen. Instead, the writer decided to add in a stupid marathon love story starring a fugly guy, of which takes up half of the movie time. To make it worse, The female lead ends up with the dude's friend. Painful to watch.

I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say it becomes rather poignant due to its omitting of melodrama. Instead it has one of those "life goes on" messages and does it pretty good. This created a very realistic vibe by the movie's end. The movie wasn't ambitious yet it wanted to be different, and I appreciated that. The movie knew its boundaries and excelled within it. The lead actress is very attractive as well. I hate to say the looks of an actress can sway my opinion, but I'm pretty bias that way. Its definitely not as good as My Sassy Girl but it's way better than say My tutor Friend.
