In 1988, Hokkaido's Hokusei Yoichi High School became the first high school in Japan to accept students who had previously dropped out of high school from nationwide. Hokkaido Broadcasting (HBC) has been covering this school for 15 years and aired a documentary last spring that caused a stir all over the country. Now TBS in cooperation with HBC will create a drama based on the school. The drama will follow a former gang member, dropout and graduate of the school who returns as a teacher. We will follow him as he helps graduating students out into the world. The teachers and students will, as you would expect, confront all the issues of youth and society today. At this school, there are no compromises, no lies. This drama will move you as both students and teachers face a variety of issues head on. This is a moving story that is created by people coming together and learning to believe in each other. ~~ Based on a true story. Edit Translation

Reviews
The problem was the pace and the acting. The pace was kind of fast at first but then it gradually slowed down too much, making me feel sleepy when watching certain episodes.
Also I usually like Yutaka's acting, but in this drama he wasn't that good. Yutaka and that older actress lacked facial expressions most of the time.. The rest of the cast was fine. No extraordinary acting from the rest of the cast, but it was good enough to enjoy the story. :)
