I loved this drama. The story and acting was amazing. I think all the main actors have done an amazing job. Ending is extremely sad, though. I would love to know that beforehand. I was really hoping for a happy ending, but towards the end the story was just getting worse and worse. This must be the saddest drama I've ever seen. There are some really sad events earlier in the drama, but last part is just tragic. Usually, when a drama ends like that, it makes me hate the whole story. But this one is just so good, that I still love it. Overall, the story was amazing and I love that ending was connected to the beginning. Just be prepared that it starts quite lightly, but gets darker.

Having read the book first I was excited but also very sceptical to watch this movie. I love the book and of course I was afraid the movie would just not be as good as the book was. And I am very glad that it didn't disappoint me. The movie was very true to the book, there was really only one scene I was missing and nothing was majorly changed. The main actors were really good and I believe that is what made this movie as good as it is. But it's also the small stuff - rooms looked exactly like I've imagined them when I was reading the book and even when I first saw Ansel he looked just like how I'd imagined Gus to look. I don't really know of anyone who has read the book and hated it so my guess is that you will enjoy this movie. It has - just like the book - a bit of everything, from humor to sadness. At the beginning I felt like things were going too quickly, but a lot happens in the book. I also felt that some actors couldn't be as serious as they needed to be. Luckily the main actors were perfect and the ending had the right effect (even though I knew how it was going to end). I loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone.
