I noticed Yoshida Yu and Arimura Kasumi combo is always good. They are both fantastic in "flying colors" and also here, and their roles are polar opposite compare to their roles in this drama.

Mkay

I thought the raw file for both ep 4 and 5 will come at the same time. T_T

This comment is just sad, goes to show you the intellect of a close minded person.

You can't be a jdrama lover if you are not patient. XD

what about episode 5?

Merebu will cast "sweets" to cure her Alzheimer's disease.

What a cliche ending. It's your typical person a loves person b but person b loves person c, in the middle of the drama person c loves person b, finally they are now together, but person b realized she loves person a, you know that type of sh*T haha. Lackluster acting too from the female lead and especially the actor of yuzu, I am quite annoyed about his acting to be honest. Thankfully this movie has fantastic songs like 10/10 in that department.

7/10

Glad this drama is getting the attention hahah, some people even made an account just to comment here and in kissasian. I already knew from the start that this drama will prove those doubters wrong. I've been watching jdramas for years and it's been awhile since I got this excited for an ongoing drama.

Before rem there is onodera you can't downplay her role in this story or it will be one of the worst live action adaptation ever.

You're right it doesn't feel mangaish like other live action adaptation movies.

That would be the best christmas gift.

Just watched the first episode and here's what I think. Odagiri joe is kinda wasted here. Weird seeing suzu being older since she looks younger than tao. Nonetheless a fun drama.

The thing about jdrama is the music composer is kinda unknown so that's why its hard to search the music they had in a certain drama, unlike in anime.

It's been awhile. XD

What about the hijiri's roomate in the drama, the other sensei, I don't recall the name though. Is she also in the manga?

older dramas....chemistry-wise sekai no chusin de aiwo sakebu and orange days.

Episode 3 already showing signs that they might be in a relationship before he turned 18. The boy's affection towards his teacher becoming stronger each episode while the teacher is just confused about her own feelings. The drama don't romanticized this middleschool/teacher relationship infact they are so against it that sometimes I felt I was watching a thriller. Whether they end up together before he turned 18 is not the point, it's how these 2 character grew as the story progress, like a character study of these 2 characters.

Have you seen shunji iwai movies? based on what you said I bet you will love those films.
