I understand that the ending is frustrating. But I much prefer the script writer's decision to end it on this note. The ending makes me feel like it incapsulated in a very subtle way what she said about facing things and telling people the important things. She's ready to do that, but maybe he's not ready to do the same yet. And if he's not, maybe it's not worth throwing herself at him. It's a positive ending, self-reliant and very 前向き in my opinion. He was important to her but all things are impermanent. I just think she wasn't meant to stay with him.

I know, I can't help feeling the same way! I really can't get over how awful he used to be to Nagi, even if he is treating her a little better now. I don't think this level of toxic behaviour is something that is worth forgiving in real life.

I actually loved this drama, except for two things - the last episode and the musical numbers.

Can anyone recommend similar dramas about detectives solving crime, something without too much comedy or romance in them. I really enjoyed the serious tone of this drama’s first season and feel impatient about the second season.
Thank you!!

Really looking forward to watching this, but can't find it anywhere for the time being. :(

I agree. If they wanted to focus on the story of the friendship between the two main characters, they could have made a minidrama. If they make a 16 episode drama they need to diversify with well-developed secondary story lines. And yeah, too... many... unnecessary... dramatic... pauses... every... other... second... ugh!!

omg! Episode 10 and tears of BOREDOM streaming down my face. I stopped watching "School 2013" for 2 days in order to watch the Japanese drama "Mother". When I was watching "Mother" I would pause for several minutes whenever I just thought I would die from the overwhelming sadness, but with "School 2013" I pause the drama every few minutes because I am either bored or annoyed. And I am seriously considering dropping it altogether.

I wanted to watch "School 2013" because I really liked "God of Study", but "School" is very poorly written. One of the keys, IMHO, to a great drama is to achieve a balance between the main story line and several secondary story lines. I don't think they really even tried here. Too much focus on a slow-paced main story of a ruined friendship, but all other characters' stories remain undeveloped. Yes, we learn a few things about each character, but they never give them enough time and attention. If they had developed other characters and their stories a little more, it would have saved the drama from being so MONOTONE.

I am guessing that there was a reason that the writers decided not to pursue romance in this drama, so I won't criticize them for that. But still, there are any number of possible love stories they could have developed with the characters. And I am in ep 10 and nothing! They just give slight suggestions of romantic tension and then never follow up on it. It's tiresome.

Anyway, I am really sorry if anyone reading this is upset. I just thought I'd share my opinion.

The link below is the only place I found this movie online. No subs, but if you know a little Japanese it's a solution.
