Beginners! Episode 5

great great great mid+point

this was a really great episode for sakuraba specifically. I’m intereasted to see his full journey as the instructor of the substitute class ，who is also in a disgraced rank himself. ryuzaki kind’ve has a really awkward absence in this episode which is still awkward but i liked seeing sakuraba step up when kitayama is lost without an example. i liked this ，it feels like a nice milesixtone for the class team. they have officially put all differences aside ，WHICH IS PERFECT FOR THE MESS COOKING UP IN THE PREVIEWS DFJKBJEFIJMFENJ. i do enjoy this show a lot. I’m rooting for every character & I’ve been enjoying each episode’s showing of them.

I'm Thrilled...

...that this drama came out this year! It's right up my alley; it has the right kind of comedy, that touch of cute romance, and that dose of friendship that good comedic dramas should have.

I'm so excited to see Shimura's father return--we learn in this episode that whatever he did helped end someone's life, and that Shimura's sister is scared to death of him. It makes me intrigued as to what exactly happened, and how Sakuraba and the Director are involved.

I was really impressed with Hiromitsu in this episode. We saw a range of emotions not seen from the Tachibana character as of yet. I liked that his character has a depth that we're only beginning to suss out. That's a strong point of this drama--everyone seems to have something that they're not proud of or a weakness that they need to overcome.
