Alunauwie wrote:Under the Big Onion (2025) is a heartfelt romantic drama that blends two parallel stories through letters, nostalgia, and the idea of fate. Strong performances, natural chemistry, and emotional storytelling make it an enjoyable experience, although the dual narratives and limited character exploration prevent both stories from reaching their full potential. Overall, it's a warm and worthwhile watch for viewers who appreciate gentle, character-driven romance.
