Synopsis

33-year-old Akiyama Satomi is a history teacher at the prestigious all-girls high school she once attended. She has earned the nickname “ohitorisama” (meaning “one person”) for her perfectionism and capability to handle any work by herself. At the same time, the name also refers to her lack of romance. One day, a young man named Shinichi arrives at the school as a temporary instructor. He’s ten years younger than Satomi, has only worked part-time jobs, and has neither money nor status. Although the other female teachers and students find him cute, he is completely not Satomi’s type… or is he? Will love blossom between this unlikely pair? –Tokyograph

Review

For me, this Drama are quite interesting in the beginning but its become more serious at the end of the episode. At the beginning of the episode, lot of accident and problem happen and an argument  between both of them –  it quite interesting and funny, but the story become more serious  especially after they began in fighting and jealousy with each other.

Even though it should be a romantic comedy Drama but I think it s not really reveal in this Drama. The love scene and their love feeling not so reveal in this Drama and its quite surprise when Kamisaka confess that he already in love with Akiyama sensei as there no scene in this Drama that shows since when he in love with her. The story line of this Drama more to focus to Akiyama sensei and it seem like Kamisaka sensei just a supporting actor in this Drama even though he the man lead role! Suppose his story also included in this Drama as his live background are more interesting (to be live without a mother) and one thing that I feel awkward till the end he still don’t know who his mother is.

Another thing that not really come in my mind, why Akiyama seem to run  and hide her own feelings when Kamisaka confess his love to her, even though its already reveal that she already in love with him. Why she not is strong enough to face her owns feeling as like as her character?

Nothing much to say about their acting but I feel that they are not chemistry enough, Kamisaka is too cute, small and young comparing with Akiyama sensei.  I feel that they are like brother and sister and sometimes like mother and son, maybe because his mother, the Principal is too closed to Akiyama. They are just more suit to be a big sister and a little brother.  For me, Akiyama are out when express her love to Kamisaka , her love emotion and jealousy are not so stunning in this Drama.

This movie is good but it can be better, it’s so interesting at the beginning, just a little out at the ending.
