Life

GOOD. A few little flaws though…

I finally got to watch it because someone gave me a site (Kissasian.lu for anyone interested) and I’m so glad I got to watch it after almost five years of it being on my watchlist!

Except a few details, the series, the plot were good and met my expectations.
The acting way too ott and edgy for the male characters esp katsumi, the gangsters and even sonoda …
The teacher (the homeroom teacher and not the kind deputy homeroom teacher) not even trying to push away katsumi keeps grossing me out and the way she acts as well ! like your students need help you know it and you ignore them volontuarily.
Katsumi is so disguting. I genuinely feel like puking when he appears on screen and even worse when he does that ´smirk ´ of his and sticks out his tongue.
Also him being attracted to his teacher is just a no. Their romance was just unnecessary and uncalled to the plot. Like this and just these two characters added absolutely nothing to the series except being rage bait smh.
Anzaii is just a pure crazy manipulator. I despise her character so much. same goes for her friends!

the class tbh was the only thing that made no sense. I hate them sm and honestly I wanted to quit the series cuz of them :
they kept switching sides like nothing. when sonoda spoke up they immediately did the same as if they weren’t trunkng a blind eye on shiiba treatment and bullying shonota smh ?. and another example was when in like 30 mins they flipped the tables and went from admiring shiba for escaping the arson to side eyeing her for allegedly pushing anzaii on the floor and brutalizing her when they all know damn well anzaii is vile. Or simply when they would be doubting whether it was anzaii or shiba the guilty when the answer is obvious…

I am so happy shiba got actual friends afterwards. (Besides I don’t think her male friend, sonoda, was that ´useful ´ as a character than how he was at the beginning). Btw I lowkey ships FL and miki. Their friendship (=their trio) is also top tier though.

Shiba’s is such a good parent (what Katsumi’s father could never be) I love her and the actress is so talented (and gorgeous 🤭).

I lowkey felt bad for midori when anzaii revealed she was using her etc… because she NEVER failed to support her. That doesn’t mean I support her bullying her ex-best friend tho! Violence should never be used !

(And once again her hypocritical of classmates doing what they were hated her for had me pissed me off so bad.)

The end was actually super satisfying having the creeps in prison (tho the scene of his arrest -especially Sonoda’s role in it-was ridiculous and gave me second hand embarrassment tho-)Anzaii realizing how she herself lost herself and precious friendships on the way. What I didn’t like on the contrary was shiba ´s ex best friend never apologized for what she did etc… and accepted her back as a friend so easily when she has always been the one in fault. It felt plain especially when they didn’t even discuss the things out.

The Cast and their acting is good except for the male characters. The fashion from these days will always hits hard!
I’m glad FL never lost her smile after all she went through 😭❤️.

The OST is so good and the intro/outro lit ! It always put me in the mood of the series and I find it even funny to have it halfway into the series !
The only piece of OST I didn’t like were the dramatic drums every single time. It actually pissed me off tbh.

This was so annoying and pathetic I expected better there should have been more violence towards the bully also they didn't even expose her properly. Like Wtaf after going through all that your still being nice to her bruh she should have died. It wasn't intend enough and I was so irritated very disappointed in this DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! . However the only good thing was when the psyho went to jail and his dad died. That was the only justice served Tbh you might think of me as a Heartless human but bruh these bullies deserve worse, the victim could be scarred for life and become traumatised by the terrifying events.

STRONG MESSAGE

This short series really does cover a serious issue that is going on in schools. It was worth the watch. And first i wasn't to sure i'd like it. But it really did send a message. The main character did a great job. Though she was bullied she pushed through it and refused to sink down to the level of those who purposely cause pain to others. Even going as far as helping the bully who was now being subjected to the kind of abuse she inflicted on others. The friendship that also came out of this was great. All went through something similar and together they were stronger. I'd definitely recommend watching this. Not only was it a good watch but it also spreads a strong message at how bullying is completely and utterly not acceptable.

LIFE is based on a very common yet relavant theme of bullying. The drama had a lot of slightly frightening scenes but it was executed very well n the series is definitely worth a watch.

STORY 8.5/10 : The plot is kinda known n by no means anything new or innovative but still it was able to shine. I felt the thrill in the series n also there were a couple of unexpected developments making it fairly interesting. However I felt some scenes were a bit exaggerated #i havent seen a great degree of bullying in real life so that might be the reason as well.

ACTING/CAST 9/10 : The casts were not flawless but they were well acted. AYUMU'S n ANZAI'S ROLE are worth mentioning but the role that caught my eye was that of KATSUMI-KUN. YOSHIHIKO-SAN did a mind blowing job depicting his craze. His scenes gave me goosebumps - the way he glared AYUMU was frightening like a true freak. I was slightly terrified at the scene where AYUMU was abused. So this 9 goes specially for KATSUMI.

MUSIC 8.5/10 : Music was well used in his drama. The picture was more thrilling n exhilarating bcoz of the good music accompaniment. It brought a feeling of excitement n sometimes of pity for the victim.

REWATCH VALUE 6/10 : I believe this is a series where the actual value of the product would reduce if u rewatch. U won't have the same excitement n thrills as compared to the first time u watch.

OVERALL 8.5/10 : I loved this drama - it depicted both the bullies n those bullied as victims of the society. Even the bullies suffered from one thing or the other n in turn vented their stress on others. Though this is no excuse to resort to such actions i could symphathize with them to a certain extend. It also gave a very good example of forgiveness as well. ANZAI bullied AYUMU through the whole series but still AYUMU decided to help her n stood up against ANZAI being bullied. A truly noteworthy last scene indeed.

Best I’ve seen in awhile

First off, I’d like to say that the obscurity of this drama made it very difficult to find a place to watch it. I don’t know why it doesn’t have more attention, because it was the coolest I’ve seen in awhile.

Story: Very gripping. Every second deeper made me want justice to be served, and that thought alone made my eyes glued till the very last episode. The MC has a lot of pain inflicted on her, and after falling in love with her character, all I wanted was to see pain inflicted on those horrible people who harmed her. It did teach us a lesson, because as I waited for there to be justice, there really wasn’t any served. But the lesson taught is the simple: two wrongs don’t make a right. In other words, treat others how you would like to be treated. I like to hope that karma kicked that bitch Anzai’s ass.

Music: Probably my least favorite part of the show. The same tacky soundtrack played over and over again. It was a fast paced track that gripped me just like the show did, but it really didn’t do it for me in the end.

Acting/Characters: The acting was very good, especially Manama/Anzai’s character. She really did a good job playing the emotionless psychopath. Somehow, I even managed to pity her a bit in the end. How pathetic on my part. I fell in love with Satori and Ayuma’s characters, as well as Sonoda. So I’d say the acting done there was spectacular as well!

Summary: All in all, this show is a gem. I’ve had a hard time focusing on the basic kdrama romances, and have since made a drastic shift towards Jdramas. There’s something about the rawness, realness, and dramatic aspect of them that is gripping, and this drama really made it all make sense for me. I recommend this for someone looking to get into Jdramas. Although not for the faint of heart, there is a great lesson to be learned in watching it.

This drama is so amazing. You don't even realize, so go watch it! It's just so amazing that you would want to have a mop with you and beat everyone with it.

OST-
It wasn't much, but not lacking.

ACTING-
The MC did a great job portraying the anger that character felt. She never left me disappointed by lack of anger or other emotions. The other actors did great too, which says a lot since I wanted to slap most of them.

PLOT-
The plot is so amazing, you won't be disappointed with MC just taking hits. Beautiful friendships and heartbreaking betrayals. The plot isn't only centered around bullying yet other things that will keep you watching and never wanting it to end. The plot makes you experience sadness of bullying and other things, which is not what plots usually will do, proving its well written.
