Sky of Love -Koi Zora

Ok, i didn't expect to watch such a tear jerker drama. Frankly, teen romance shows do not end up high on my to watch list. Possibily because i am way pass that stage or too jaded to think such things ever happen. However, KoiZora, was one i picked because 1) alot of people ( like 11 million said it was good ) and 2) was bored couldn't not sleep so why not watch the movie to get some zzzz... How wrong i was . i think my pillow was completely soaked and tissue paper ran out because of this show. *blows nose loudly*


This show as you all may know is based on a cell phone novel in Japan. I am just wondering how it could be immensely popular and how we can tap such a base in Malaysia. Mental note to self that drama minggu ini may not work so well over here - LOL. The novelist also supposedly based this on her real life experience. If this is the case, it is terribly, terribly sad and depressing. As much as one loves to have a someone to love but the experience that mika goes through makes me thing she is quite strong to go through such life upheaving experiences and still have the courage to smile.

The story starts off with Mika bumping into Hiroki in school one day and he is instantly infatuated with her. She, however is clueless that he is interested in her. One day, she looses her phone, and is picked up by Hiroki, who calls her daily without giving out information who he is. I mean, would you date an asian guy with that blond a hair? First thing i thought - wah ... ini gangster surely.

Yeah, we serioused up when meeting the to-be-in-laws

Little by little, Mika is intrigued by the daily phone calls and starts to open up to Hiroki, till he organizes to meet her one day. Needless to say, she had the same impression as me. Runs away with trepidation. However, he does not give up and wins her over with his gentleness. It's funny though, as rough and tough as he may be, Mika senses a gentleness (yashiku) in him that is far mature for for 16 year old teenager.


Their love starts to grow until when Hiroki's ex decides that she does not take kindly to Mika being in the picture. Watch how hiroki takes to defending his current love. Any lady who loves being saved by someone, this would impress you all. There may be some scenes here that will get you thinking that japanese teenagers will resort to such violence when they are not happy with something. Makes our malaysian kids sound very tame.
Things start to go down hill after this when Hiroki leaves Mika suddenly with no explanation. With no closure for her, she spends her time wondering why and how until one day, she gets a chance to know why. I can't say so much without giving the ending away. Ok cue tears here. Lots and Lots of it.

The lead characters are actually pretty excellent in this show. Mika is gentle yet without being wimpy. She pretty much has a good head on top of her shoulder here. Be amazed that teenagers can have such a good wisdom here.

Hiroki. You are the man. :) I like how it was described that he will watch over Mika all the time. When there is sun, Hiroki is happy, when it rains, Hiroki is sad.. Sigh.. Go watch it. Bring lots of tissue.
