Thorns of Love plot

Momo, 24, works in a public library. She was recently dumped by her ex-boyfriend Kentaro and is concerned about some explicit photos of her he has. One day, Momo has a chance meeting with Riko, Kentaro's new girlfriend. Riko is an aspiring dancer and very different from Mono. Momo decides to ask Riko for help in deleting the explicit photos from Kentaro's computer. Initially, Riko refuses, but later changes his mind. An unlikely bond grows between the two women as they devise a plan.

Nice movie.

The setup may not be all that original, we have seen the love triangle in movies before. But it is nice that the movie is full of little twists that keep changing the relationship between the three characters. Makes the story interesting for a longer time.

Furthermore, it also looks a bit fresher than most Japanese dramas. The acting is also on par, only the soundtrack could have been a bit better. There is an attempt to be a bit more modern, but the result is not really commensurate. I suspect it is a film for the real enthusiast, on the other hand, there will be few people who will be bored to death by this.

4.0* and an extensive review
