What HAPPENED here?

I'm not gonna lie, I started watching this because Eiji Akaso had a major role, and he got my attention after I watched "Cherry Magic". I love his acting, but in "Nee sensei, shiranai no?" it feels like he doesn't quite get to spread his wings. As for the female lead... not much going for her either, sadly. The story is wild, doesn't make sense, is far too rushed, and makes it feel like the FL is forced into the relationship, that she's forced to do things she doesn't want to do. It also feels like Akaso's characters sort of 'forces' himself onto her, like when he says "I've been patient and I waited out here all night for you" and that's why he should be allowed to hug her and come inside her apartment. Really creepy. She should've gone back inside and locked the door with him still on the outside, and that's me talking as a fan of Akaso.

The relationship between these two is very unbalanced, and the series makes it seem like it's okay for things to be this way. In fiction, sure, it might fly. But let me tell you, a relationship like this would NEVER work out long-term in real life. One person works their arse off all the time and they never get to see each other, and when they DO get to see each other, the one person who works all the time is stressed out and/or exhausted from work, and the other person then has to take care of their partner and patiently wait to get some attention and to actually spend time with their partner. Wow, nope.

All in all, I would advise anyone looking for a cutesy romance drama to look elsewhere. Sure, it has these things in it, but things like their heavily unbalanced relationship and the forced, unnatural nature of said relationship to begin with, overshadow the cutesy stuff, in the end, and makes for a very strange and sometimes uncomfortable watch.
