About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, bittersweet drama about healing with light romantic elements; Not for you if you expect big laughs, strong sparks, or a fresh rom-com like He’s Just Not That Into You or The Switch.
Pros: thoughtful look at grief; some touching moments; solid supporting cast | Cons: predictable story beats; weak romantic chemistry; uneven tone shifts
