I’ve been watching a lot of American Series lately, I just finished watching the season2 of Damages.

It’s been a long time since I've watch an Asian Series, so I thought that I should watch again the final episode of a series that made me fell in love with JDoramas!

Majo No Jouken (Forbidden Love)

It’s an 11 years old series. A story between a 26-years-old teacher who fell in love with her 17-years-old student. What made this drama interesting is that in real life, this was also the age of both the actors who played the character Michi Hirose (Nanako Matsushima) & Hikaru Kurosawa (Hideaki Takizawa) during that time.

"The stars...the light that we see is light from many years before. Years from now, maybe our escapade will become a funny story... When I become an adult, maybe everyone will forgive me, if that's true, then I wish time would move faster."

This is my favorite scene, can’t find a shorter version of this clip, so just wait at 3:32 & watch it until the end!

Most of those who’ve watch this believed that Michi had finally woke up. My own interpretation basing on Hikaru’s reaction when he saw her is, at the moment Michi moved her fingers, we are already inside Hikaru’s dream, where his hope for Michi to recover has finally happened, they are finally free & can be together without anyone condemning their relationship; No More Barriers.

I also like the library scene in episode 12 where Michi said that she doesn’t believe that Miracles existed & if they do, then it’s love & hope combined together. However, it wasn’t that line that made that scene okay; it was when Michi finally asked Hikaru to stop calling here “Sensei”! They’ve been through hell & he still not addressing her by her first name! So awkward!

Nothing great about the story though. If you think about it, both Hikaru & Michi’s character are a bit annoying, stupid even! Falling in love with a minor is a big NO! But what the heck, it’s fiction. It is made for you to sympathize with them.

What also made this series even more endearing is its soundtrack! I love the violin version of Utada’ Hikaru’s “First Love”!

I remember back in college, I was having breakfast with my friend at a near fastfood chain where the radio have been playing non-stop cheesy lovesongs. My friend then said, "Why is it I feel like I'm in love? I'm not even in love nor do I want to be"

Damn! The curse of love songs!
