SYNOPSIS
Yuni
Kururugi (Nana Komatsu) is an orphan child prodigy in her high school
and everyone has high academic expectations from her. She is very shy
and only have one friend. Her English class is the only subject with
low grades. Haruka Sakurai (Yamashita Tomohisa) is the young,
handsome, sexy and popular English teacher volunteers to tutor
Kururugi to raise her grades. Their love story is out-of-the-ordinary
due to their 11 year age gap and their student-teacher relationship
as well.
REVIEW
Yamapi
never cease to amaze me. How can he look so young at 30-years-old is
wonderful?! He can even portray a student on his youthfulness. Yamapi
and Nana Komatsu have a strong, good chemisty so one will be bored at this movie. Watch out for the kiss scene. Overall, I highly
recommend.
