Why is Japan so obsessed with student-teacher relationships? I get it that they view everything differently compared to the rest of the world like age in relationships, etc. but the amount of cliched and generic student-teacher Kdramas is almost endless and this one is no different. I don't even know why they bothered making a reverse harem outta this when the other two love interests are nothing more than side characters and the main love interest AKA the student gets the most of the screen time. Hell, the very plot is Junko teaching this kid so why bother making it a reverse harem at all when its obvious that the student's gonna get the girl aka teacher. Not to mention the dramatic cliches there are in this show like the girl falling down the stairs and the guy catching her. If you want your typical cliche student-teacher Jdrama, then this for you but if that sorta thing is not your cup of tea, then might I recommend you to not watch this. I was actually shipping her cousin with Junko who was in love with her for 20 years and was kinda pathetic about it to the point that you felt sorry for him despite his success in life. But as cliche as ever, the childhood friend never gets the girl in both anime and Jdramas apparently. The other two love interests other than the student were actually part of her childhood which make them another victim of the childhood friend rejection trope. Either way, I dropped it after episode 3 when I realized how plain and obvious it was that the student was gonna end up with the teacher due to the other two love interests barely getting any screen time at all. I mean, if you're gonna have a reverse harem, at least put some character development in the love interests instead of just pushing the main couple. Isn't the point of a harem to keep the viewer guessing who the protagonist is gonna end up with? Well, this show totally fails in that aspect!
