Will she keeps her marriage with him? Let's find out in I'm Underage But I'm Not a Child.
The film begins by showing a high school girl named Karin Oriyama,
who is always treated like a queen, where all her needs have been met and served by her servants.
Karin is the only daughter of a billionaire couple, Kazuki Oriyama and his wife,
who love and pamper Karin very much. Throughout her life, Karin always got
everything she wanted. Karin's dream that has not yet come true is to marry a handsome prince.
One morning, right on her sixteenth birthday, Karin's assistant, a man named Kaburaki,
tried to wake her up. The maids then carried Karin's body and carried her to the bathroom,
where Karin would be dressed and prepared to go to school. Kaburaki says that Karin gets a lot of
birthday gifts from billionaires around the world. After that, Karin went to school by limousine.
On their way to school, Karin's childhood friend, a young man named Isuzu Ebina, welcomed
Karin by giving her a bunch of flowers. Ebina actually has a crush on Karin for a long time,
but Karin only considers him as her best friend because they have been friends since childhood.
While on her way to her class, Karin heard a group of girls talking about Nao Tsurugi,
a handsome and popular boy at their school. The girls were also very enthusiastic when they saw
Nao's appearance playing soccer on the field. Karin then rushed there, and just like the other
girls at her school, Karin was very mesmerized by his good looks, and subconsciously she walked to
the center of the field to take a close look at him. But then, Karin was hit by a ball kick that
caused her body to bounce. Luckily, Nao saw this and immediately rushed to help Karin. Karin who
was so shocked by Nao's heroic actions that had saved her then immediately fell in love with him.
In the evening, Karin's parents celebrated Karin's birthday party lavishly and festively, where they
also sang and danced together. Her parents gave a very beautiful wedding dress to Karin.
Kaburaki then tells Karin that her father plans to make her marry after her sixteenth birthday.
According to Kaburaki, Karin's future husband is predicted to make her a better person and feel
happiness forever. Hearing that, Karin immediately felt annoyed because she only wanted to marry Nao,
not another man. The angry Karin then slammed and threw things nearby. Her father tried to
reveal the identity of Karin's future husband, but the girl was already upset and angry, so
she slammed the photo her father gave her without looking at it carefully. It turns out that Karin's
future husband is Nao Tsurugi, where Karin's father deliberately asked him to marry Karin,
and the wedding was intended as a birthday present for her. After Karin finally found
out the identity of her future husband, Karin immediately agreed to the marriage. The next day,
Nao and Karin finally got married at the church. However, Nao refuses to exchange rings and kiss
because they are considered minors in the eyes of the law. Not only that, Nao also asked that
his marriage to Karin be kept secret from others, because right now he just wants to focus on his
education. Karin didn't seem to mind it, and they finally got married. After the wedding ceremony,
Nao then took Karin to his cramped and dilapidated house, where there was only one bedroom and it was
much smaller than Karin's luxurious bedroom. Karin was then told by her parents that from now on, she
had become Nao's wife and had to adapt to Nao's life which was simple and far from luxurious.
At first, Karin had wondered if she could feel comfortable living in that narrow house.
However, Karin said that she will try to be a good wife to Nao because she loves him. After the two
of them were finally alone in the house, Nao's demeanor suddenly turned cold, even though Karin
seemed happy to be with him. Nao then reveals to Karin that the purpose of marrying her is only for
her wealth, where Nao has made a pact with Karin's father that one day, he will inherit Karin's
wealth if he is willing to marry her. Karin seemed very surprised to hear that, especially after Nao
said that he didn't like Karin at all, and thought Karin was a stupid and naive girl
because she only likes and chooses someone from the face, regardless of background and character.
The next day, Karin only woke up when it was already ten in the morning
because she was not used to getting up alone. Karin then got ready to take a shower,
but the girl didn't know how to turn on the water tap. Preparing all her needs on her
own was a new experience for Karin, and she had a lot of trouble doing it. Not only that,
when Karin was about to go to school, she got lost for hours and only arrived at school when the
lesson was over and all the students were about to go home. Ebina saw that Karin looked troubled,
then asked Karin about what really happened and why Karin had just come to school. Not
wanting her marriage to be known by Ebina, Karin hurriedly left him without explaining anything.
Karin finally came home when it was night, and Nao looked so upset because the house was so messy.
Karin then wept in frustration and told Nao that she didn't know how to do housework at all because
her maids had always been there for her and did everything. Realizing this, Nao finally melted,
and told Karin that from now on he would teach Karin to do housework so that Karin could get used
to a simple life. Nao teaches Karin to turn on the faucet, wash clothes, cleaning the floor, cooking,
and so on. It didn't take long for Karin to master all the housework and get used to doing it.
One day, Karin cooks a special dish for him. When tasting it,
Nao seemed impressed because it turned out to be quite delicious, and Nao liked it very much.
However, Nao was surprised to find out that Karin had spent more than half of their monthly
allowance just to prepare the special dish. Karin casually responded to this and then called her
father to ask for extra money. Her father then asked Nao and Karin to his house, and explained
their financial problems. When Kazuki was about to give extra money to Karin and her husband,
Nao immediately refused, saying that the money given by Karin's parents was still enough,
and he would manage it well so that their needs were met until the end of the month. Hearing this,
Karin's parents seemed so impressed and amazed by Nao's maturity and responsibility as a husband.
Karin and Nao then stay at Karin's father's house for the night. The next morning, when Nao and
Karin were about to go to school, Karin suddenly approached the cooks at her house and apologized
to them for throwing away the dishes they had cooked for her. After experiencing for herself
how difficult it is to make food for others, Karin finally realizes and will always appreciate every
dish that is served to her. Hearing Karin apologized, her parents and Kaburaki looked
both surprised and happy, because this was the first time Karin had apologized to someone else.
Karin's parents and Kaburaki then hugged Nao tightly, and thanked him for turning Karin
into a better girl and respecting others. While at school, Nao and Karin deliberately sit far apart
so people don't suspect their relationship. But it seems Ebina is starting to notice the closeness of
the two of them. Not long after, several girls came to Nao while offering their lunch to him.
Karin who felt jealous then got up and chased them away. However, after realizing that her
actions were excessive, Karin immediately fell silent and immediately sat back down.
On the other hand, a girl named Saaya Matsui, seems to be looking at Nao from a distance.
When Saaya walked away, Nao then got up and called her, which made Karin feel jealous
because Nao was paying attention to the girl. At home, Karin asked Nao about Saaya,
but he was reluctant to explain anything to Karin. Because Karin continued to insist,
Nao was annoyed and decided to leave. The next day, Nao and Karin meet at school,
but they don't greet each other. Saaya then went to Karin, and asked if Karin was dating Nao.
Karin actually wanted to tell about their marriage so that Saaya would no longer approach him,
but Karin had to keep her promise. Saaya tells Karin to immediately end her love affair with him,
because he is dating Karin just for the sake of Karin's wealth, and Nao will leave Karin as soon
as he has paid off his school fees arrears. Karin doesn't mind it at all, and spending money for
someone she loves is not a problem for Karin because Karin feels that she is already rich
and very well off. Nao turned out to be secretly eavesdropping on Karin and Saaya's conversation,
where he was relieved that Karin didn't show an overreaction regarding his reason for marrying
the girl just for money. Nao finally finds out that Karin has always been assisted by her
servants and Ebina to do school exams. Therefore, Nao took the initiative to teach Karin every day.
At first Karin struggled to learn, but she gradually got used to taking notes every lesson,
surprising the teacher and classmates with Karin's change in attitude. To motivate Karin in studying,
Nao promises to date Karin if Karin manages to get a good ranking in her class. Hearing this,
Karin felt very happy and studied even harder. One day, Ebina, who noticed a big change in Karin,
then asked if Karin had a boyfriend. However, Karin didn't tell the truth and said that she
studied hard because she wanted to get a good ranking. Even so, Ebina did not necessarily
believe Karin's words. Long story short, Karin finally managed to get good grades on the exam,
and was ranked in the top ten in her class. When Karin was about to go home to tell Nao about it,
suddenly a group of people dressed in black kidnapped Karin and brought her in front of
Ebina. Apparently, Ebina already knew about Karin and Nao's marriage. Ebina also threatens to tell
The Principal about the marriage so that Karin and Nao are expelled from school if Karin doesn't
divorce Nao as soon as possible. Karin immediately felt shocked and did not expect that Ebina, whom
she had considered as her best friend, actually dared to kidnap her and threaten her like that.
Karin, who was being held captive in a room, then called Nao who was very worried because Karin had
not come home. Karin then tells him everything that happened, including the threats from Ebina,
and asks Nao to come pick her up. Without thinking, Nao immediately rushed to Ebina's
place. When they finally face each other, Ebina finds out that Nao married Karin just for money.
Ebina said that Nao would never love or make Karin happy because of that. Ebina said that he had been
friends with Karin since childhood, so he knew what Karin had been dreaming of all this time,
which was to dance with her idol prince and have a very grand wedding, which Nao who is an ordinary
person would not be able to do. Nao has actually fallen in love with Karin, and wants to always
be by her side. However, Nao finally realizes that he will not be able to make Karin happy,
and Karin really deserves all her dreams and feels happiness forever. Ebina then asks Nao to divorce
Karin if Nao really cares for Karin. Nao and Karin finally meet again, but Nao then asks Karin to
stay temporarily at her parents' house because the electricity in their house is out. Not only that,
Nao also promised to take Karin out on a date tomorrow. Nao really kept his promise
and went on a date with Karin the next day. They visited many places, tried various street snacks,
and had a heart-to-heart chat. Both promised to always support each other. But then, Nao said that
he wanted a divorce from Karin. Hearing that, Karin immediately felt shocked and devastated.
After that, Nao decided to drop out of school, which infuriated his mother and scolded him badly.
Nao did that on purpose because it was the only way not to meet Karin. Even though Nao actually
feels sad and frustrated because he has to part with Karin. On the other hand, Karin finally
returned to her parents' house and looked so sad and gloomy. This time, her parents couldn't do
anything to make Karin happy because they couldn't change Nao's decision to divorce Karin. Ebina then
came to see Karin, and took her to his magnificent palace-like house. The two dance there, and Ebina
expresses her love for Karin. However, Karin rejects Ebina because she loves Nao very much, and
Karin prefers to live in a narrow house with Nao rather than living in a palace with another man.
The next day, Kaburaki comes to Nao to hand over the divorce papers. He also gave Karin a favorite
fairy tale book which tells about a princess who finally meets the prince she loves. After reading
the book, Nao finally realizes about Karin's true dream, and he should not give up on pursuing his
love for Karin. Nao then rushed to Ebina and asked him not to interfere with his relationship with
Karin. Ebina then tells that Karin has rejected him because she prefers Nao to be her life
partner. Ebina decides to let Karin go, and wants Karin to be happy even though she's not with him.
After that, Nao then went home, and was very happy to finally meet Karin again. The two of them
kissed passionately. Karin asks him about Saaya, but Nao says that now he really loves Karin,
not another woman. Five years later, Karin and Nao remarry to make their previous marriage official.
This time, their wedding was lavish and attended by many invited guests. Karin finally succeeded
in realizing her dream, and the two very happy brides kissed. And they lived happily ever after.
The moral that can be learned from this film is,
true love is regardless of social status and wealth. So, never give up your love for someone,
especially if that person also loves you, and comes from a rich family.
