(500) Days Of Summer

By Delrondu | Confession

I was kind of waiting for this to come to Brunei but I gave up the wait when I saw it was also an option on the way from Dubai to Istanbul. This was a great story that depicted the true nature in a relationship. The ups and downs and the sweet and the bitter.

This was playing in the flight from Dubai to Istanbul, and I just jumped at it once I saw the name Nina Dobrev. However, the movie wasn’t good, but just as expected. The story was a typical teen drama with a boy and a girl. The only thing more from this was that it was
