Mystery and Curiosity Ignite in ‘My Strawberry Film’ EP1

My Strawberry Film

What will you do if you see a beautiful girl in an old film in your school? Will you find out who was behind it? Let’s see what Hikaru, Ryo, and Chika will do in the first episode of ‘My Strawberry Film‘.

My Strawberry Film

Two classmates and friends, Hikaru and Chika, go to an abandoned place in their school to look for “treasures”. Chika says whatever they find, they can sell, to which Hikaru points out that it’s illegal since it’s school property. Despite that, however, the two still look around and Hikaru finds a silver container. They open it and find an old film, and with curiosity, they play to find out what is in it. When they found a film player that could play it, they saw their school in the past… and a beautiful woman! Chika wondered why Hikaru didn’t answer him during a (what they think) jump-scare scene, but Hikaru was too mesmerized with the “treasure” he found in the film. He declares that he seems to have fallen in love with the girl in the film.

The following day, Hikaru comes up to his best friend, Ryo, and tells him that he has a crush. Ryo, the handsome and popular guy, asks him who his crush is (after dodging Hikaru’s questions about what went on with a girl who likes him). Instead of telling Ryo who his crush is, Hikaru takes both him and Chika back to the abandoned room for them to watch the old film. Chika also finally managed to watch the film without being scared and didn’t hold back with how beautiful she thought the girl in the film was. Hikaru agrees while taking photos of the film and saying he wants to get to know the girl. Meanwhile, the visibly annoyed Ryo (who, by the way, kept looking at Hikaru), suggested that if they want to find out who the girl is, they can start by looking through old yearbooks. Their effort seemed to be wasted, however, because although she seems to be an old student of the school, she was not in the old yearbooks.

But Hikaru wasn’t fazed. He continued to look for people in the school who may know the girl. She asked staff and teachers and showed photos of the girl, but no one seemed to know her. One teacher seemed to be suspicious about learning the girl’s identity, but she still denied it regardless. Out of options, Hikaru went to a place that Chika and Ryo call a “secret hideout”. There, Chika tells him that Ryo and she are planning to upload the video online in hopes of finding out who the girl is. Ryo was not in there because he went back to get his laptop to upload the old film footage. Chika leaves for her club activities, leaving Hikaru in the “secret hideout”. But it seems like he has been waiting for a while because it’s now nighttime and Ryo is running back to the secret hideout to look for him. Ryo was about to wake his best friend up, but he wanted to take a moment to gently look at him, obviously in love. The sweet moment is interrupted by a falling object (like Ryo, who has already fallen), and he wakes Hikaru up, saying it’s already late. Ryo ended up piggybacking Hikaru.

 

Writer’s thoughts:

It was a good (yet short) first episode, but a lot of questions still remain unanswered. Who is the girl in the film? And who was the teacher who seemed to know the girl but denied she did? And the best friends being completely oblivious of the feelings of everyone around them is, frankly, kind of hilarious to watch. Ryo being infatuated with his best friend is so painfully obvious that anyone can detect it from a mile away… everyone except Hikaru, it seems! But we’ll find out in the next few episodes about all of the feelings within the three (and if it will ever be four).
