"Forbidden Love" video clip update: Nobody puts Olli in the corner

Today's Forbidden Love is, in all seriousness, one of the best episodes ever. Not only do we finally get to the long-awaited first fight for Christian, but we get plenty of drama between the fellas, a beautiful crazy-eye moment from Christian (above), and a great climactic ending.

When we last left Christian and Olli, Olli was giving Christian space the night before his big fight, which to him apparently means "having drinks and clubbing with some random guy from the gym." No matter that it was totally innocuous, because with Christian being all backed up on testosterone he of course takes it the wrong way, leading to a blowout of a fight.

No, it's not a gospel service, it's a boxing match.

This all leads to Christian not getting any sleep before his big fight with homophobe Axel, and Olli isn't even going to go support his boyfriend in the ring. But when Christian gets his ass handed to him in the first round, you can bet that true love will somehow save the day.

And that's for being so darn cute!

This was all a long time coming, and lucky for us the folks at Forbidden Love have done it all right. It's exciting, it's touching, it's shocking, it's funny, and above all it's as adorable as a boxing match has any right to be. Seriously, do German soaps have much bigger budgets than American ones? The camerawork and locations alone are leagues beyond anything in daytime Stateside. Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens next.
