Drama Queen

What attracts me when choosing what online dramas to watch is the plot of the story. I prefer story line that’s built a significant events that particularly linked to my personal way of living. Something i look forward, something i can relate to and which define what i am feeling and experiencing. It just implies surprisingly so greatly as to seem incredible how the lead actors think out loud the exact words i can barely express. I see myself talking in the presence of the actors on the screen. That is, i got very emotional and more than teary eyed when i’m into it already.

It wasn’t an accident when i found this drama. It was fate that lead me see this. I am a teacher. A yuppie. Lately, I lost interest in the field and needs some motivation and inspiration. Since i’d watched BIG (where the lead actress was a teacher who fell in love with his student), i was inspired to watch another drama with the same plot. Call me crazy for adoring younger lad-older lass relationship especially teacher – student relationship, but i just can’t guard myself not to like it. I know this is quite controversial seeing that society hasn’t yet accepted “that” kind of affair, but who can blame me?? it’s ahm.. arhg. i just like-love it!

Majo No Jouken was a drama way back 1999. Maybe I was 10 or 11 years old when this was aired in Japan. God! i’m 20 something now. hahahahah I don’t find 80’s or 90’s movie or drama interesting, but Majo No Jouken is an exception. The age difference here is very evident ^^ but the chemistry between them was too strong i couldn’t even notice their height difference ^^ (Michi was a way taller than Hikaru).

The official soundtrack ‘First Love’ lead me to this. I fell in love with the song even i haven’t see the drama yet. I’ve been hearing and singing the song years ago but i only saw the drama just this year. Ow, that is why it was a big hit even in my country Philippines. Drama + lead actors + OST equals great!

Majo No Jouken as i was saying, was a  love between a student and a teacher. The story’s about Michi (Matsushima Nanako) a 26 year old Math teacher who seems to have a pretty satisfying life, when her boyfriend proposed to her, she accept it, though she is not quite sure if she’s ready.

One day, she accidentally meets a boy who almost knocks her down with his motorcycle driven by Hikaru (Takizawa Hideaki). In school she finds out he’s one of her students. A 17 year old Hikaru is a transferee on the school Michi teaches in and is said to be a delinquent. Michi has became Hikaru’s homeroom teacher, and as fate dictate, they started to understand each other, sharing almost the “same kind of sentiment”. The two of them soon discover that they have many things in common, such as the wish to be themselves without being forced to obey their parents’ will just for the sake of the public image. Michi and Hikaru fall in love, but, instead of being scared, they decide from the very first moment to fight for their feelings and for acceptance. And thus, this started the “bond” that has the world against them.

“I am a TEACHER, you’re a STUDENT”
