Yes, she does fall for him but the drama in no way endorses it. In fact, Hijiri herself realises and knows that it is wrong, hence her dialogue "I don't have the right to be called a teacher". The drama always keeps the fact that a teacher student relationship is wrong as a central theme which is why we see a time skip. I don't think it is problematic because the drama views the relationship as problematic too which is the main reason for all the conflict in the drama, it never lets us forget that the relationship is "wrong" in the eyes of society.

I remember when the show just started and there were just a few of us commenting on this thread and now I see new people everyday and it makes me so happy that more and more people are appreciating this drama now!!

The subbing team can't release subs for ep 4 because the hq video hasn't been uploaded on j-raws yet. Rest assured, someone will drop the link for subs on this page as soon as they are available.
