The film received mixed reviews. Some praised its lush cinematography (shot in Manila standing in for Bangkok and Kobe) and Takeuchi’s luminous performance. Others criticized its melodramatic pacing and dated gender politics. It never had a wide international theatrical release but found a cult following via Asian cinema DVD and later Blu-ray markets.
