Sawako was nicknamed Sadako by her classmates due to her gloomy appearance and similar haircut with the character from a horror movie. despite being caring, Sadako had always been a loner, unable to express her thoughts. Shouta was Sadako's classmate, he was outgoing and popular, but unexpectedly fell for Sadako. he led her to interact better with her classmates and formed an unlikely friendship with Yoshida and Yano.
despite coming across many live-action adaptation of anime that turned out to be a disappointment, i was clearly surprised with the outcome of Kimi ni Todoke (2009-2010). though not special enough to stand out, it was unexpectedly good and engaging. in many ways the live-action reminded me of its anime, though most of the storyline were re-written and not an exact copy of it. which also made it refreshing and comfortable to watch.
