Wow. What am amazing drama and great acting by Matsumoto Marika as always. Wasn't expecting it to be so "dark" but it worked really well. I was left a bit confused towards the end but satisfied nonetheless.
Just the first episode is a good gauge of the drama, however if you aren't used to this sort of drama, especially the themes; watching a few episodes in before dropping might be a better idea.
The drama is good so far. I don't mind the crazy stuff personally. But I will say that Matsumoto Marika is a far far better actress at playing crazy characters than Maryjun. Still good nonetheless.
Mirai's random english phrases and stupid sniffing is so damn annoying. Argh I hate her.
Final verdict: 7/10. Everyone except Mirai was good. Check her into a mental hospital bloody hell. A bit too far ngl. Also FL is way to "dumb" and careless with the watch.
The idea was good, but the execution let it down. The Japanese periodically start veering off in some strange…
I feel like this comment is just hating Japanese stuff for no reason (like most of MDL). You know that the writers and some other key people are Korean right?
Takanashi Kotone pisses me off so much. I'm not too pleased with the ending. I feel like people were let off too lightly (excluding the teacher) despite the crazy stuff they did. Cool to see the ML and FL married to people but wish there was more after that.
I don't even know what to say about this drama. It was really hard to watch but I prefer not to drop dramas. Towards the end it was so bad that it was good if that makes sense.
Kind of a kicker for physco FL but this was not great epecially with hardly any punishment for the husband and nothing for her (and no sequel rip).
It was perfect until the last episode. Definitely am not happy with Asuka being on talking terms with Kaori, she deserves absolutely nothing. Other than that, amazing drama. Kept me glued to my seat from start to end.
Good so far but that girl in the second episode telling everyone not to go to the infirmary is really pissing me off. I guess that's the point of the character but arghh. The kids are like 11. It's crazy to think and talk like that at that age.
I'm quite surprised by other people's view on this drama.
I really liked it, which is a surprise for me. I'm not big on love story stuff (despite watching a lot of it). I liked the serious acting with the odd comedy bit.
My big issue with many of these types of dramas is usually how quirky and not-serious they are. I found this one tackled the topic quite well. And while keeping in a little bit of usually removed imagery and violence which I felt helped tell the story.
I do think that Torino came back a few more times than he should have had. But overall a great show!

Just realised that Minori and Wataru were 40 and 20 respectively at the time. Wow.

Due to money, future episodes likely won't be commissioned for at least a few weeks or more. Hopefully many can now enjoy this unsubbed drama.
All credit to the amazing subbers!
Also Shinoya is really annoying
