SYNOPSIS
Nishimori Aoi is still in high school but she lives in an apartment by herself. Her parents and younger brother moved to another city for work, but she stayed behind because she didn't want to transfer to a new high school.

Popular student Kugayama Shusei moves to the apartment next door to Aoi. When Aoi accidentally sets Shusei's apartment on fire, he is homeless for the couple of weeks that his apartment is being repaired. When the landlord asked Shusei if he has a place to stay, he said he'll be living with his 'friend' Aoi.



REVIEW
L♡DK is a light movie about high school students who start living together in an apartment due to unforeseen circumstances, even though they are not in a romantic relationship and are not even friends. It's basically about strangers who start to get to know each other when they had to interact in such a small place on a daily basis, and they then fall in love with each other.

The lead actors in L♡DK are not very effective in their roles, and they have dreadful chemistry. In particular, actress Goriki Ayame is quite awful in her role in this production, but that's nothing new since she's been bad in everything I've seen her in.

I didn't find it particularly interesting, and I didn't really enjoy watching it. It's not a terrible movie, but you won't be missing a lot if you end up giving this one a pass.
