Episode 6 - Koi wo suru kimochi/the feeling of love

[wiki] download torrent] [direct d/l (member only)] [Softsub]

Ep 6 watched. And I'm still loving it. Even to the fact that there is a big gap between me watching this ep and the previous one. Ever heard of a story that starts of good but becoming boring halfway? luckily it's not so with this. I'm still glued.

The episode is living with it sub-title of ep 6, the feeling of love. Here we'll see the relationship between Kaji-sensei and another teacher in the school develop. And the thing that touched me is the relationship between Tamako and her soon to be fiancee, how..


..everything turn upside down. How even that, you can't help but pitying both side, not blaming one side. Kanno Miho is sure a wonderful actress especially when talking about playing with emotion. That's what she's best at. How her face bring out the emotion. I've heard many good things about her wonderful performance in Koi ga Shitai, I'm going to watch that soon. Because they say... once you see that, you'll fall in love with her, and with her flawless face emotion.

I'm anticipating next episode... seems like a new course of event will happen.. something new will come up. And I want to see Kaji's developing himself to whichever side I don't know. He's turning into a new Kaji, and I can't really say it's the better or the worse.... this is a drama where you don't really know which side to side for.

Episode 5 - Shokuin heya no Ijime / Bullying in the Staff Room!

[wiki] download torrent] [direct d/l (member only)] [Softsub]

I was so happy to know ep5 was out with subtitle and paused all the downloads on my queue list to download this. And gladly this is also a good episode and not a let down. Another side of Vice Principle, Ameki is shown and there you go another conflicting views of the issue is introduced. To tell the truth...me myself can't really choose to side which party after considering both stand. There's grain of truth in both side that it's hard to decide. Now I really can't wait for the next episode because the preview is soo.. tempting.

(spoiler alert - ep5 & preview ep6: highlight to read)Kaji is ignored by other teacher due to Vice Principal's words that he's prying the personal life of teacher because he's going to sue the school. He also got loaded of works to do, and all of this is regarded as bullying by him. He becomes an adviser of the Kendo club, and without his knowledge on the part where he did wrong, he was put in the hate list of the Kendo leader. Someone drop a hint on the place the evidence (Asuka's book) of the existence of bullying which he took it to give to Tamako. I wonder who's that person is. But then due to some circumstance he met the Kendo leader on the way and found out that he is hated because of how he treated the students like murders and the class know about it. To be said he only cared about Asuka and not the class pricked his heart that he turn back to the school with the evidence and due to some conversation with the Vice Principle.... he regarded himself as failure. The moral taken by the VP is that it's the teacher's responsibility to protect student, not to expose them to media, police and court. Somehow there's truth to it. But somehow also by hiding everything can make things worst. But by exposing thing can also harm the student. This is a difficult issue to be dealt in as opinions differ. And theory and reality doesn't always fit together. The preview shows that the school is prepared to hold investigation into bullying. And inserting 'Asuka's murderer is....' cruel!It makes me so impatient it's cruel! XD lol. something just feel don't right and I don't know which part isn'r right, it seems like there's people interfering with the whole thing and is like playing a game. Guess I can just wait and to see what actually happen... gahhh to wait for the next episode.. please be soon..

Kanno Miho stars as a lawyer, Tamako, who investigates the truth and the dark side of the school where various ulterior motives swirl when one of its junior high school student falls to death. Tanihara Shosuke also plays a lawyer who is Tamako's lover, while Ito Atsushi plays a teacher.

--wiki d-addicts

I've been waiting for a series like this for quite a time. One that give me the feel like M No Higeki, There's Someone Watching, Tobousha. The feeling of curiousity and mystery. I never like Atsushi Itoh, especially after Densha Otoko made it big, because I don't like the series. But then I like him in this drama. And Kanno Miho is simply a beautiful lawyer.

I've watched until ep 4, and it's so far so good. When I thought it's going to bring the tension down and progress slowly I was given a surprise. I can't really tell what happen next and this is all good :) (spoiler alert: highlight to read) The first episode was great especially with Mirai Shida's performance. She improved a lot and I can see her as successful actress in the making. The grieves surrounding her made you symphatize and her death lead the way to where the series is progressing, also revealing the sad situation of today's educational system,the state of bullying, the hidden identity of teachers, etc. I thought the episode where Tamako went to see her ex-husband-- the father of the dead student-- to be the plaintiff, won't be that good. It's otherwise when it's revealed that the guy who's been abandoning her and the children is actually suffering for an illness. Now I can't wait to see what happen in episode 5, when the firm Tamako is in will be against her!
Give it a watch guys!
