Chugakusei Nikki (2018)

Chugakusei Nikki retrata o amor proibido entre Hijiri, uma professora novata do ensino médio e Akira, um de seus alunos. O drama segue sua história ao longo de vários anos. Desdo Akira com seus 15 anos e a Hijiri com 25, depois de várias situações, passa 3 anos e mais tarde depois varios altos e baixos, mas baixos pra ser exato, passa 5 anos, onde o Akira terá seus 23/24 e a Hijiri seus 33/34 anos.

Os personagens apesar de suas falhas até que são bem interessantes, a Hijiri por exemplo, foi retratada como uma professora inexperiente, obviamente devido a ser sua primeira turma depois de terminar a faculdade, ela também é uma adulta em amadurecimento, que ainda não experimentou várias fases da vida, já no caso do nosso protagonista, Akira, foi retratado como um adolescente rebelde e confuso, pois ele vai sentir por Hijiri emoções e sentimentos nunca antes sentidos e vai perder a cabeça por ela, sem ao menos da importância para os demais
e é isso que vai mover o plot.
Os personagens secundários são interessantes também, especialmente Haraguchi e Shotaro, também é interessante ver a história de amor deles se desenvolver. Seu amor é um pouco semelhante, mas diferente. O enredo é extremamente rápido e sensível em alguns momentos, porém o que eu achei extremamente raso foi o amo " doentio" do Akira pela Hijiri, ambas tiveram muitos poucos momentos pra terem esses sentimentos forte, achei essa questão muito mal trabalhada e rápido demais.

O drama também mostra o quanto essa relação é impossível de dar certo e obviamente a que mais sofre e a Hijiri durante o drama praticamente todo, literalmente ela perde tudo aquilo que ela sempre amou, ensina.

Enfim, o final foi muito rápido, poderia ter durado mais alguns minutos deles dois, por tudo que a Hijiri passou e aguentou sozinha, no fim só resta uma questão; Será que vale abrir mão de tudo por amor, por uma pessoa? Bem, já sabemos a resposta dela né!

why they fall in love? story lacks reasons... other that it's great drama

I don't judge it like pedophilia, there are many other teacher/student dramas too.
I have problem with reason - why he falls for her or she falls for him. Though this is really good, high quality drama, with amazing edit and cinematography, good acting and every reason to feel for characters, see chemistry, for me it's kind of misses something big/main from the beginning: ML is in love already in first ep, FL has feelings in 3rd ep, so soon we can't understand their reasons:

What he saw soo soon (almost without any interaction/communication), or what she saw while being in love with other and quite happy.
When you are getting married, really like/love your fiance, are happy and always smiling, there should be something really big to change it and start feeling for 15 year old (it's not only about taboo, but common things, understanding, which is more usual with same age people, and if there is big age/social gap there should be some big reasons, strong emotional changes, not only liking same poem, few meetings alone and hear "I love you" from teenager). Plus FL seems quite strong person, not usual naive/childish female from dramas, she knows what she wants, she really likes (I think loves, but I'm used to see in dramas when main lead then "discovers" that "it wasn't real love", because she/he was not main but second lead and real love should only be once in life and for main lead) her BF, so someone like her/in her situation there should be really big things to start changing feelings.

If they didn't rushed with main leads feelings, give them more time and reasons to see each other, feel, understand each other and then start loving, this would be perfect drama.

I can't stand both protagonist

May be it was me but I really can't watch anymore.

Both protagonist are not my type. Really really not my type.

That teacher, what is she doing? Inviting trouble? What kind of teacher? I can't stand her indecisiveness.

Worst is I don't like that guy type, so pushy and annoying. I'm also a guy but I really really like to punch that guy when I see his every action.

And then after 2 episode and I thought ... Oh .... I just need to stop watching this. I'm really annoying every time I saw that guy.

Some may find this drama likeable but not me.

This drama deals with the taboo of not only age gap and forbidden love but also with having a relationship with a minor. I won't review this drama based on my own views on the matter, as it didn't glorify it, but just presented the story and the tragedy of their love. So, emotion wise, this one was strong at that area. Especially at the begining, however, it got boring towards the end and the pace slowed down as well. I also enjoyed the presentation of the how everyone else viewed their choices as well as the emotional struggles the two leads had to deal with. In addition, the performances were really good and the cinematography on point for this drama.

This was not cute!

I expected a sweet drama with some real life understanding of what a relationship between a teacher and her student would be like. Based on the top reviews, it should have been a masterpiece... I was bamboozled! In the first episode the ML slaps the FL when she calls him handsome. Immediately I had red flags but
I tried to stick through it. By episode 2 he was confessing his feelings and when she told him she wasnt't interested, he did what he wanted to anyway! And not just once,multiple times! Because as he put it "romance should have been sweet, why did it turn out this way?" For him, his feelings were more important than hers. By the end of the episode when hes's hugging her after she tells him to stop and he says he doesn’t care if people see them, I knew I would have to drop this drama. I'm sure there is going to be some convoluted reasons the writers use to make us think these two are destined for eachother but I can't think of a single reason why she should leave her fiance for this immature child. Anyways if you've read my rant and want a reward, some actual good age-gap/ teacher romances are chinese dramas, Falling into you, and Nothing but you!
