But Rika felt safe from the start. Guys in fiction, even not good looking and with bad personality like Kanchi always get women interest for free, while in real life you get nothing. TV shows are always aimed at broader audience and have to tone down darker elements, while original material is hidden behind more popular version. At least Rika and Wada part was a thing in manga, so she wasn't that pure, still very cheerful and energetic. I didn't feel she was too heavy, it was just brut-forcing love to a guy, who liked another girl from the start and wasted everyone's time, but saying she was too heavy was just an excuse from Kanchi's part. In real life women like more proactive men, while Kanchi got interest from everywhere, even that cute secretary from work, just being there, from the day one. I am sorry, I live over 35 years and never got any interested from women by just breathing, nor I've seen girls like Rika running around other guys neither and it won't magically change. Undecided, grumpy with troubled face most of the time, what a match for Sekiguchi, indeed.

Very unsatisfying ending. Too much buildup, escalation, chaos, expectations only to finish as product for normies.

Movie also didn't show many things from the manga, while it technically could. Just make it 3 hours or separate into two parts.

Problem with romance genre is that it's basically porn. It presents women/men, who don't exist. Girl like Rika is not realistic portrayal, person as her doesn't exits in real life, unfortunately.

It's not like everyone, but probably bullying exist in every school in every country.

I was looking for this movie here and couldn't find it. Damn... what a random translation.

Look for title "Sham", I think you can find it if you know where to look :) I had problems too by searching original title, but it has alternate one, that's why you might have issues finding it.

Yuri ruined the show. She's annoying, has punchable face and because of her, they made Nano soft in S2, compared to S1.

I think it's just Fagflix being Fagflix, they need to put their agenda in every show.

Ep 3 has absolutely no sense. Printing random pictures from internet and just throwing some random pink dye on it is considered genius art? And none exposed her?

Overall the show lacks logic in many places, but I'll take it as parable, so you don't have to treat everything seriously and literally. Thing is it's morally wrong, because teenager's brain is not fully developed. Kids can't take full responsibility for their mistakes. Nanno would have been much better in adult world, not at school. First episode is good example how the series should go, school being just one of many places she appears. Nanno could have been a new college at work or overall person who appears here and there among group of people. Teasing high schoolers is not fair, especially that while series starts strong, latter episodes are often escalated from very petty things (Nanno as the main reason, not just force of nature).

I would also like to see someone who is really sorry, admitting mistakes and Nanno's reaction to that. If she can forgive or not.

Well, it's Chinese production, so they have to put propaganda over people. The message of this show is: "trust the system", lol.

Interrogations look too similar to each other, every single suspect behaves in the same way and they use the same tricks to convince him, but none ever calls lawyer? Do they have no right to call one and just keep silent? And what happens if they just don't talk? Is it censored fear toward infamous Chinese gulag, that all the criminals start to talk?

The new guy didn't get enough time to shine, but to be honest half of the team lack charisma and impact.

It has only 10 episodes and yet I had to skip to the last episode at some point to know the conclusion (happened second or third time in 15 years of watching dramas), because I just couldn't stand it anymore. Currently watching 32 episode drama and have no problem, it's so easy to watch compared to this! Feels faster than 10 episode show. Of course the conclusion is also made in a unnatural way to just show twists for the sake of twists. They have sense, yes, but it's something that shouldn't take 10 hours, especially that for the 9 hours they lie to you and by episode 2 you know it's too obvious to be true, so you just want to get over it.

I agree. Overall descriptions are horrible on this site. They are too long and basically spoils half of the show. You shouldn't say that he pretends that lost his memory if this is something that viewer learns later.

Maria is a good person, but she needs therapy, she's unstable. Fire as child, knife threats and other impulsive behavior. But among lot of broken and unstable characters, she's still likeable. I thought that the pianist would be cool but he was horrible. Tiger/pride should be his choice.

You will love Koko Kyoshi from 1993.

He did what he could, in the end was sentenced and blamed by society for trying (only saved by the scenario, aka lady who got soft, although the same scenario put the kid in the car and she could have died, which could make movie more realistic, dark and difficult to morally judge, yes it's too positive and unrealistic, but at least we get heartwarming movie). Without the mother's pressure, he wouldn't have to do shady work in the first place.

Mom is not weird, she explained she felt excluded from her daughter, because father only used sign language with their daughter and they couldn't build up normal communication.

It's hard to watch, because that girl is very annoying psycho, even as a little kid. The father should just beat the crap out of her and get answers, instead wasting everyone's time. Entire material is for a movie, not for over 10 hours long drama.

And the police, omg they're so clueless. How come none notices his daughter involvement all the time? Even after realizing the father has been covering for her once? Why they don't suspect him more? How a single teenager can manipulate every single adult out there? There's no realism here at all, everything is far-fetched and too slow for the sake's of being slow.

Most Korean shows lack atmosphere of this drama. While it's not perfect and groundbreaking, at least it's not ruined by silly comedic moments. It's focused on dark, psychological thriller and it doesn't stray away from it's core for a stupid comic reliefs.

Don't get the high scores, it's dumb. Main character should tell her lawyer about entire thing instead of doing all the stuff herself and risking prison. Too much lucky coincidences everywhere (the worst one is Thailand border, finding random Korean girl and none saw sick person being transported out of base, despite so many Americans and security there, not to mention none saw that person is different, lol). Main killer out of nowhere, the stupidest reason to kill ever made. Besides description of this drama is basically 25% of entire series. It took whole 3 episodes to get to that point, so it would be better to change description to not spoil 1/4 of the show. But it's not the first time I see convoluted description on this site.

Rare, thought provoking drama with teacher coming to school not to save students from their usual teen problems, like any other school show, but something more philosophical and sociological. I wonder if it's unrealistic or students in elite schools are really that rational, capable of such high level conversations. A bit difficult wording at start, but later episodes were easier to grasp.

Yeah me too. I thought he's like 19-20, so 5-6 yo wouldn't be able to do it. Even for 11, it's a bit far-fetched. He's rather small and feminine type, so wouldn't be able to put so much strength.
