This drama revolves around a teacher who tries
different types of theories and unorthodox practices, in order solve the issues
and problems occurring in this class of middle schoolers.
Suzuki Akira (Hasegwana Hiroki), also known as
Suzuki-sensei, is the homeroom teacher of 2-A. While dividing the student into
classes, Suzuki-sensei had a goal of making “the most harmonious class”, which
is ones of his believes, by compiling pupils that would engage and interact in
such a manner that they would be able to comprehend, accept, discuss and solve
issues that would arise. But also give the class and school a platform for
dialogues, that would be deemed as unethical or morally wrong, such as sex and
pregnancy.
At the same time Suzuki-sensei meets Hata Asami
(Usuda Asami), and starts sharing his practice and theories with her, and even
discusses possible outcomes and dilemmas in each situation presented in school…
This drama is one of the old dramas I downloaded
years ago, while being new to the Asian drama world. I remember starting out
and loved the school/teacher genre, so I decides to download it, but later read
the summary about it being a serious drama, so I completely forgot about it.
After watching it I have to say I agree about the
‘serious’-talk. It really is a serious drama, with quite some shocking element,
I didn’t expect. The thought that sex would be so common for 6th/7th
graders is not something I even realized. Of course, you can blame it on the
Asian drama would trying to portray their society as ‘innocent’, but tbh, when
I heard those words coming out of their mouth, phew…
I am not sure about the ages of the young actors,
but they seem quite good I their portrayal. To be able to do such complex
characters is refreshing, and the fact that thing are said out loud, makes it
an interesting watch. This drama isn’t a ‘feel-good’ drama; it has some
disturbing elements too, but I kind of felt like they were necessary - as they
are never shown in regular dramas.
To sum
up: an interesting drama with a different take on ‘reality’, compared to your
regular JP school drama.
