K-nowledge was genuine in depicting girls hitting puberty and experiencing menstruation for the first time. It was so sweet to see that 😀 Thank you for telling this story
~Worth Watching~
Delicious
—What a colorful photography K-nowledge had! From the girls’ uniform, hair accessory, bed sheet, to the school bag, the color red was resonating everywhere, reflecting the menstruation color
—The camaraderie between Malu (Anahira Maria) and Akku (Ahina Andrews) was phenomenal, they displayed the usual tendencies of girlfriends who love each other yet still compete with one another in every area of life.
K-nowledge underlined a topic that shouldn’t be taboo: parents need to forewarn their daughters about menstruation to prevent them from making silly or costly mistakes.
Periods are normal, not embarrassing; they perform a vital function that should be appreciated, not degraded.
If we can even go further than the plot, we should add that boys should be taught, in school and at home, to respect this biological aspect as opposed to shaming girls
—The storytelling and editing were nice and fluent with a seamless transition to the present-time scenes
—Very amusing score and dialogues 🙂
Bland
—Just our little wish that the script should have been a little deeper and sent a louder statement on this significant and delicate issue
