Interesting detail Jun 02 2021 9:19 am The number on Ochiai-sensei necktie is the episode number

Ryu Samuël Mar 12 2019 1:46 am One of my first dramas!!! I fell in love with Aragaki Yui in this. She was extremely cute!

Hasegawa Junichiro Nov 27 2016 9:43 am This drama has broadcasted in 2005. In that time Yamapi, Aragaki, Masami, Teppei and Saeko are still young. Meanwhile Hiroshi Abe and Kyoto Hasegawa are senior actor and actress on that time. It's Good combination in this drama, and they're gave the excellent performance. I'm still watching this drama until now.

lpa Apr 26 2016 8:14 pm Inspiring, Nice actors, lots of good tips about life and higher education. There is attraction, but no intense romance even though there were some very nice looking people in this drama. It's really about determination and becoming the success you decide you want to be.

(After reading other reviews and deciding I wanted to watch this, it was very hard finding it online. I could only find it on youtube.)

Enjoy!

Shining diamond yeah!!! Woo!!! Jun 15 2015 12:40 am I DON'T CARE I LOVE IT!!! This drama is perfection and every lessons are so TOTALLY COOL!!! The same thought as the comment below me like YEAH BUT if i'll go back... I want the teachers or our professor to be like them. Not boring, but fun and interactive like who doesn't want it like that? :-) Then more students would find study is fun and they will learn.
