Sure, it was predictable. And the characters not very well developed. They could have dived in more, give the story more depth.
But I loved the romantic feel of the movie, there was enough chemistry between the two main actors and it was beautifully filmed. I don't really understand people saying it is all wrong... he had a childhood crush on her all along. They were not born into the same family. She arrived at te orphanage at the age of 8 years old. Then he kept his distance and acted like he didn't like her, and some psychological abuse went on there, so they did not really grew up normally, and they were also not related.
For the situation with the adoptive parents it would have been a bit complicated but I just see two young people attracted to each other and having the possibility now to explore that.
