This romance film tells a story about unconditional love, sacrifices, sufferings, age, and aging. It is about a "dedicated and devotedly in love with each other" Filipino elderly couple and their courageous end of life journeys. Joey is an OFW permanent resident of Japan who is wounded and traumatized by his ex-wife's betrayal. He promised himself never to love again but things changed when he met Azon, who is also an OFW and a permanent resident in Japan who will make him believe to give love another shot, only to discover after only a few years of a happy blissful marriage that Azon is dealing with an age-related debilitating disease that will surely break Joey's heart once more.
When I Met You In Tokyo is a film for Vilmanian and supporters of Vilma and Christoher as a love team. The presence of the two and individually on the silver screen is still shining on the big screen. No wonder that they got multiple films together because they truly indeed have overflowing chemistry. Who would say that love is for younger people only, in this film it shows that love is for all ages. Yes they fall in love and have sweet moments in the film but what they have done in this film is still cute and appropriate for their age. You will enjoy the beauty and landscape of Tokyo while watching this film as it was effectively integrated and utilized to the flow of the film. The team up of Darren Espanto and Cassy Legaspi or (CassRen) will definitely enjoy the film as they have their moments and look promising together. Christoher and Vilma still have their brilliance in acting as they showcase their acting capabilities individually especially towards the last part of the film. Vilma is effective and shines in her quiet scenes. The film will definitely be enjoyed by seniors and fans so this is a good watch with your parents or grandparents
My Verdict: 3.5/5
