Say,you dream of a fairy-tale ending where you are the lovely maiden and Mario Maurer was the prince.
Say,you dream of finding your true love - that rare, honest, seemingly perfect kind that always turns out to be either elusive or illusive. You look for people around you that wholly fits your standards (patterned after idealism - that thing you thought died when you grew up). And there your journey starts, you find the first.You lose the first. Then if your lucky enough, you end up with the first.
A little thing called love is about a simple,non-athletic girl named Nam who falls in love with Shone, a good-looking, attractive guy with admirable qualities. Nam does everything to win the heart of Shone. And just like the cliche goes, the ugly duckling turns into a swan. She manages her self esteem and improves in academics. But what she didn't know, Shone noticed her all along. When he said "Nothing's changed", he meant she's cute back then. But the protagonists were both a bit passive,Shone for not telling what he felt and Nam for not expressing her feelings directly.
The movie made me smile and shed a tear at the same time. (Ahh. my limbic system was overstimulated you know). It reeled my memory back in high school - of secret crushes, uncertainties and people you promised friendship till doomsday.
Then of course, there was "the one that got away". That person was okay,everything was great but the timing was wrong.Only, in this movie, "the one that got away" (Shone's first love -Nam) came back.
Will your "one that got away" come back? Don't tell me it's Mario Maurer.
haha.okay.is this even a review? so much for romanticizing reality. kbye.
