Asako I and II review

If you want to read my review of Asako I & II, read this post. In 寝ても覚めても, Asako fell in love with Baku, a man so free that one day he simply disappeared. Years later, she meets Ryohei, a man with a completely different personality than Baku. But, with the identical face.

Just made this review of Asako I & II with #ErikaKarata #MasahiroHigashide #SairiIto #RioYamashita and #DaichiWatanabe

This was the first Japanese movie I watched with Erika Karata. Since then, I became a fan.
