Hagane no Onna (2010)

This drama is a one case per episode type which is good for watching the series gradually. The main character's story and development and the changes in the class are the things linking each episodes together gradually resulting in a finale.

I liked that she was not just a teacher but had a little focus on her personal life as well, so it's not just about the children and the classroom. However the main focus still falls on them and the cases are strongly focusing on common issues/problems in the classroom, parenting mistakes and childhood problems. Some of the episodes are very touching and the role of the teacher is very well played and is according to real life expectations (=great patience). Overall I enjoyed the show very much and I definitely will watch the second season as soon as I can.

It might seem to be too short because of the seven episodes but I didn't feel missed out on anything. Sure there is place for more but that's true for all good shows!
