Genesis
Okay, here's the translation that aims to capture the original's nuances and tone: "I didn't find it overly sexual; I only realized it involved the adult film industry after watching. Maybe I'm open-minded, but I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with this kind of movie, and I don't inherently dislike sex workers either (and as a woman myself, I can say that). The film is lighthearted and easy to watch, and I personally enjoyed it."

A promising high school boy falls for a porn star...terrible. Aside from a few glimpses of nudity, there's really nothing to see here. No chemistry or emotional connection between the leads. It's hard to understand what he even sees in her.

Managed to watch it from beginning to end, not bad. The male lead's personality is quite similar to mine. I think the emotions felt relatively genuine, even though some feelings lacked buildup and explanation. But it's easy enough to fill in the blanks with your imagination.

Don't go in expecting too much; there are plenty of teen coming-of-age movies like this one.
