"Touching, Tear-Jerking, yet Not Quite Tearful This film pulls at your heartstrings, evoking a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality for everyone in the family. It strives to maintain a feel-good atmosphere without delving too deeply into melodrama or stress. With a strong Japanese drama influence, the mood and tone set by the score give the film a charming and pleasant feel, not overly sad. While some attempts at comedic relief may feel a bit unnecessary, overall, it strikes a balance that prevents it from plunging into overwhelming sadness. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of scenes that will bring tears to your eyes.
