I'm in total agreement with you. To me, the relationship is very creepy and exploitative. If the guy really wants…
Ive seen Himitsu no Kankei - Sensei wa Doukyonin as well, but its been a while, i really do need to rewatch it soon. One of my favorite teacher student relationship (kinda) dramas is the Chinese drama Hello Mr. Right (2016). I first watched it around when it premiered and its one i still think about to this day! I havent seen any dramas recently where the student actually ends up with the teacher, so it is hard to remember, but i did like Chugakusei Nikki, though that one is a bit more serious in tone, but its treated with the respect and delicacy that such a topic needs! Whereas Hajimete Koi wo Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi, is a more lighthearted take on things And if you want a more wild and crazy one (and a drama i remember liking for its absurdity, but it wasnt trying to be something it wasnt) theres Homeroom (2020)
I wish i could suggest more because ive seen many, but its hard to remember which ones end up being problematic and which ones they even end up together. Hope you havent seen at least one of these! And if you think you have a suggestion I'd love to hear it too.
