Love is not meant for humans - It hurts too much
The title, "Love Phobia", completely defines the whole theme of this movie. Its a beautiful and charming story of two kids caught in the web of love in their early childhood and as the time progresses the strings of the web strengthens. If you look closely you will observe that these kids never grow up as they never seem to lose the innocence of their sentiments throughout the movie. Basically, the story is divided into three phases, childhood, teenage and then the youth. It shows the subtle differences that creeps into their character at different phases. It also signifies that once you are trapped in love its near to impossible to be free and also, you will trust your true love blindly. You will find yourself enchanted by the rush of emotions as the movie advances with its never changing tempo. Don't watch this movie with a practical mindset but try a philosophical one. I am sure you won't be disappointed at the end.

Language barrier is not a barrier at all when it comes to Love.
I've seen a Korean movie after along time even though my logic kept requesting me not to do that as its my exam time. But I have to say that it was worth it. Though the movie has a theme which is very common in Korean movies but it has touched a few areas which are rare. I was praying for the movie not to end but it end and left me very emotional. The coordination and contrast between Japanese and Korean is shown in a good fashion. The story moves around a Korean boy who meets a Japanese girl in Kyoto and many events starts to take place between them which seems quite natural. Like many Korean movies it starts with the comic flavor, get romantic and becomes very sentimental as the story builds on. The ending is something that everyone like and hope to see. If you are an emotional guy or gal then you may feel a lump in your throat as the movie ends. It also shows a few things about Japanese culture as most of the movie events occur in Kyoto, Japan. You may learn a few words of Japanese language and get a good taste it. One may not be impressed by the story as nothing is new in it but its a very good pastime and I am sure you will be entertained and thats what a movie is all about, isn't it?
