Love Like the Falling Petals (2022)
This is the ephemeral love story between Haruto, an apprentice photographer, and Misaki, who develops an incurable disease that causes her to age dozens of times faster than an average person - a fleeting, precious love like falling cherry blossom petals.
Misaki's smile, which Haruto captured on film, will forever live on in his heart - even long after the petals have fallen.

    Heartbreaking. Heartwarming.
    I thought I was prepared emotionally when I decided to see this Japanese film, «Love Like the Falling Petals» in Netflix. The title itself gives a premonition how the plot of the story will evolve. Yet when it ends, it somehow gives a much deeper impact. Yes, it is heartbreaking... and yes, it is heartwarming. It reminds me of the Taiwanese series «More Than Blue». Both revolve around a young couple whose endearing love was brutally hindered by the twist of fate.

    One thing for sure though, these two dramas are undoubtly gifted with excellent performances, especially the male leading roles. They are just fantastic actors and actresses!

    I still can't get over K and Cream's most unselfish love to each other in «More Than Blue». This time, it is Harutoo and Misaki's.

    Feel the happiness and the sadness they feel... and be enchanted how true love can give us pain and satisfaction.
