Sora Wataru Kyoshitsu (2024)

Well-executed iyashikei drama

A very simple storyline, in a rather idealistic setting. Many details are glossed over, and dialogue can be contrived (in the way that a lot of shorter Asian dramas tend to be) when characters resolve conflict. This is not the show to watch if you're looking for some sort of deep personal growth arc, or to explore complexities of the social strata - though it touches very lightly them.

It is, however, the show to watch if you want something lightly heart-warming. The cast was on-point and incredibly natural. I was particularly impressed by Kubota who plays the ML - even I, someone who speed-watches dramas at 1.75x (including this one) caught the details and micro-expressions in his delivery that brought the character to life. The colour grading and music all tie together to make it a very soothing show to watch.

Unexpected I guess.

Im going to be honest I started watching because Tora was in it. I've only watched four episode and I loved it all, they tackle heavy topics which is unexpected. We were all curious once some just lost it, this is basically the story. (Obviously it's much more than that)

They basically tackle different situations on how and why people stop going to school, it's basically the tale of the Night Schoolers. I go to school as well similar to theirs (Saturday/Sundays schedule) and I'm meeting a lot of cool people from people that already graduated to people already with families, so it's really cool to see what it's like for different places (Japan in this case) I find the environment in this types of schedules very soothing no competition at all, and everyone is basically more mature than you everyone is also older than me so... not that maturity comes with age. (Just for context I guess Im a normal student that just happen to choose this schedule to find a job for extra income )

I'm planning to review every episode as it's all very unique.
