PORTIA MAY

I've just finished watching it. (09/22/2021 - 12:40 a.m.) and tears started falling. I guess I was holding it in for too long, the frustration. I was building up emotions unconsciously and I really thought I wouldn't cry. But towards the end, it just suddenly felt like the weight of what I've just watched crashed me. It's like a punch to the soul, a jab you never saw coming. I kept hoping that the mother of the kids would come back. At the back of my mind I was constantly saying how fucking irresponsible she was. I can't really clearly think of a good review right now because the aftereffects of the film is just now dawning on me. I'm heart-pinched. The movie gave off Grave of the Fireflies vibe.

This is my kind of drama. I'm so glad to have watched another gem! This is the kind that not everyone would like and some would even find it boring. The slow pacing ones usually are the best when it comes to making you reflect on your own emotions though! The way this drama portrayed friendship in a different light is so heart-warming and heartbreaking at the very same time. While watching it, it makes me wonder a lot about life and the relationships I've built with people I care about. It's an all-in-one package when it comes to relationships. It's not only talking about romantic relationships, but also how platonic ones could be just as beautiful as any kind. But the one thing that I'm bracing myself for in this drama is the part where they will have to deal stuffs with their parents. I'm 26 and I can't help but feel like I'm almost at the same meter of the characters' thoughts and emotions. Such a compelling story, indeed! Hope more people find solace in it.
