I've never been a fan of those pure romantic stories. However, when it comes to age-gap romances... they're my guilty pleasure without a doubt. And I don't mind watching movies about student-teacher relationships if they are properly done, My Teacher is a good example.

It is such a beautiful movie. The directing is top-notch, the acting is brilliant (Ikuta Toma!!!), the chemistry between the leads is amazing, they made me feel butterlies in my stomach because they were this adorable. The pacing of the movie is good, you don't get bored and you don't want to skip forward. You just want to savour it all. It's the perfect combination of solid writing, brilliant directing and well-chosen cast.

Now, there's something I didn't really like. It was strange that three friends were in love with their teachers. Like, what are the odds of this actually happening? I think they wanted to show that we can't control our feelings and we don't choose who to love and with this in mind, being in love with your teacher is not abnormal and it can happen. But, damn, it was pointless here.

Anyways though, it is a good movie and I'd recommend it to everyone honestly. Well, unless you don't feel comfortable watching this type of romantic storylines.
