This was boring... it was too condensed and most important of all, it had no chemistry. Fukuda Ayuta was good in School Trip as a support actor but here he was not believable. He also lacks the cuteness of the original. That's not to say he is ugly, just he does not have the "cute" vibe of Keng or Fujimoto Kodai from School Trip. Also his counterpart feels shallow.

It also felt, they did not have any workshops, so the chemistry was totally lacking. Yes, they kiss (because DMD would have demanded that) and the final not so nc-scene was the only scene where both of them acted believable. The other problem are the side couples which had not enough screen time to even establish a good story. It felt rushed. To go from twelve 45-57 minutes episodes down to nine 23minutes episodes was not the right choice. I expect there will be a special but it was too short to tell a good story. The "Sky" bar was also lifeless. There were never any guests which is quite odd. Why have a bar at all, when they never show it "full"? Of course they changed the story a bit and this time it was the mom in hospital because there is no grandpa. But the father also turned 180°C in matters of 3 minutes which also felt so unreal.

Overall, a complete waste of time. While the original was not good and had lengths they beat this remake in cuteness & chemistry. Of course the original had a much higher production budget, so this production looks flat, the acting is partly stiff, there are not many extras so even the university feels empty and most of the time you will get bored anyways because the story is not very dynamic at all. As expected this was a complete and utter fail.
