Sashidashinin wa, Daredesuka? (2022)

A wholesome drama about youth and being true to yourself with a letter

Sashidashinin wa, Daredesuka? is a drama that surprised me. It's not a masterpiece or a classic drama, but it's one of the most wholesome drama I've ever seen. It's underrated and not known, but I think everyone should try it.
The characters are relatable, real and not perfect. But they never make you upset or not able to understand them. They really look like normal kids with their problems, and it's impossible to not cheer for them.
Story: The story is nothing new. A bunch of kids with their problems, their first love, their friendship... and a teacher that will help them to be true to themselves. While in most teacher students dramas the teacher usually is the main centre, here it's perfect balanced. Both gain a lot from each others.
Cast: So many young talented young actors here. I expected a mediocre acting tbh, since I didn't expected from the beginning a wow drama because of the format... but hey if I was wrong, not only the drama split like this has a quality of a 40 min ep drama, but it has also a pretty good young cast. I also met again some faces from Kamisama no ekohiiki, and like that one this is such a nice coming out age drama.
Music: it was always the same song, but hey if I loved that song. I really hope to find it somewhere!

Overall it's a really warm drama with different problematics and most of all beautiful friendship, with an interesting an unusual teacher.... I really liked it. I will miss them.

I really enjoyed this show but the executions for solving the teen's problems seemed too easy? Like, I'm glad everything worked out at the end of each mini storyline! But I feel like it may not always be the appropriate message to send to kids watching? That if they tried to solve these problems the way the characters in the show did, it probably wouldn't end well? That said, the characters were easy to understand without being simple and the acting was good! I really liked the concept too. The inter-personal drama was well portrayed, especially for the main character. A lot of it was well written and the student's reactions to/understandings of the situations felt realistic.

I do want to give a content warning for child abuse, suicidal ideation, and teenage pregnancy (idk if this last one is something that people like to be warned about but I added just in case)

SPOILER WARNING:
One conclusion I thought was really well done was the conclusion to the gay kid's story. They weren't outed and the few people who realized were pretty lovely about it (I still don't like that girlfriend character but the main girlie and the crush's acknowledgement scenes were sweet and they made me cry).

I also found the scene with the bully on top of the building really triggering. The way he was portrayed as totally out-of-it was similar to how I have experienced those worst times.

Remind Me of My Highscool

Well this is the first time I watched and finished a dorama and I loved it.

The story is pretty good. A combination of friendship, love, family etc just like your typical slice of life.
Some of the scenes kinda remind me of my highschool moments, missed it ╥﹏╥
I just didn't expect Ken & Momoka love story (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻

If ur looking for a casual dorama to watch without any brain cell involved, this one is recommended.
Ignore the 40 eps because it's only 12 mins each eps, also the ending is perfect for me !

Btw here is the link for the ost:
