I am a sucker for these kind of pure love stories and also for age gaps. When they are well done that is.

It started off promising but I couldn't keep watching it because of some of the dumb decisions Michi makes. Even though she is the adult, she doesn't seem to understand the world or the consequences of her action.

I think they got the casting right. Though, the main lead isn't that good of an actor but his face makes up for it.

Some people may like this drama but unfortunately it isn't my cup of tea. Shame, I love dramas like these.

Adult woman takes advantage of a teen boy and causes chaos in his life

I'm almost speechless with how evil this was.

The FL, the villain of the show, who somehow is portrayed as a sympathetic person, self righteous in her belief that she's fighting for true love, when in fact she's just another disgusting weirdo grooming a teenager for her own pleasure, emotionally taking advantage of him in every corner, to the point she genuinely puts him in a situation where he has to choose between her or his suicidal mom. And don't forget, this woman is only in this depressive state partly because of the FL, because she tried everything, including calling the police, but that predator wouldn't leave her son alone, who wouldn't be emotionally done with this situation? (I'm saying partly, because her emotional state is also caused by an obsessive violent man who ruins her career just so that she doesn't have any other option but to be with him).

So this isn't just a story of an adult starting a relationship with a teenager, this is a story of an adult completely messing with that teenager's life, messing with his education, messing with the relationship with his mother, putting him in situations where he is psychically and emotionally hurt, by his peers and other adults, as well as placing responsibilities on him that a 17 year old should not have (I'm taking about the pregnancy and the fact that he took a minimum wage job to take care of her and the child, and then later on ended up in a situation where he was bound to her vegetative body).

All with a smile on her face, and a "I'm right, you're wrong" attitude. What an insufferable, immature, psychotic, completely delusional woman, and what a ridiculous drama for trying to paint her as a woman fighting for the freedom to love, and this relationship as a forbidden love that succeeded against all odds. This was some bullshit!

Drama Culte

Pas fan des dramas de romance mais Majo no Jouken est un 'must'.
Quel plaisir de retrouver Mitsushima Nananko dans la fleur de l'age et l'OST est légendaire !

Tout le monde n’appréciera pas histoire prônant l'amour envers et contre tout. Le drama commence bien mais j'ai plus d'une fois été dérouté par les décisions de Michi qui est vraiment vraiment naïve et irresponsable alors qu'elle est sensée être l’adulte. Le personnage de Hikaru est plutôt bien écris mais j n'ai pas trouvé l'acteur topissime. Les 'side stories' sont peu exploitées et la trame principale tire un peu en longueur.

J'ai lancé ce drama par nostalgie, j'adore l'ambiance retro des séries japonaises et sur ce point, je n'ai pas été déçu^^
