Kuro no Onna Kyoushi (2012)

I decided to write a review for this drama because i noticed a lot of people weren't watching it but i honestly think its one of the best Jdramas of the summer.

There's a lot of things about this drama that aren't very unique. For example, why is it always 3D? It's like class 3D is cursed in ALL dramas! And also, the story behind each of the kids in this class. If you've watched other High School Jdramas with exceptional teachers, you've probably come across a lot of the stories. But what makes this drama different is how the teachers go about dealing with the problems.
That's the unique thing; the teachers, they're very different from your Yankumi's and Onizuka sensei's. They're much darker and much more mysterious. And all come with their own stories.

Also, i thought the acting was incredible. I've watched quite a few Eikura Nana dramas now but this is the first time i've seen her play a serious role. I think she did a good job with her character.
The rest of the cast were incredible too. Again, a lot of people have probably only seen Chiba Yudai as Honey Senpai in OHSHC. This is a very different character and yet Chiba did an amazing job. I wont bother saying anything about Matsumura Hokuto because i'm probably a bit biased as a big fan of his :)

Music. I gave a 8. I cant really remember any of the OSTs but the ending theme is by UVERworld. Incredible song by an incredible group.

Overall, i loved this drama and will probably re-watch it at some point.

I admit I found this compulsive viewing and finished it quickly. It was very good but not to me a real school drama〜more like Mission Impossible using a school setting. Manga, not realism but see below for the unfortunate attempt at the end to combine the two. There is the usual sensei going to any lengths for her students but thankfully she is just a side issue here. The characters and role of the dark sensei [Eikura Nana as Takakura was just the right combination of cold computer and mysterious attraction] are good. The individual stories and problems resolved by the dark women teachers were not that original but made interesting by the characters and the manga-like way they zoomed into battle in their ’extraーcurricular activities” made me smile. What spoilt it for me was the end：very dramatic but then trying to bring together or convert fantasy into realism for me just does not work ーand I feel this is what they tried to do here. I am torn between giving top mark or taking off one for this reason but it is maybe unfair to let the unsatisfying end wipe out the very good stories. I think this is a one view only series but if it kept this guy watching every day it must be good. I am usually watching four or five at once.

..Chime-to-Chime..

..first, like on comment, the story is same as School Cop where the students are involve in different crimes, also, it discuss here the different problems a students encounter - either they are the victims or the suspects..
.
..here, the money is the only solution to solve these problems..
.
..I do find the acting of all casts are all natural and impressive..
.
..not to tell one by one, but just my observation, that Aoyagi-san here is just a late-bloomer, her character progress is just too sloe, thinking that is she really part of the story, I see her but can't feel her (just the role not the actress)..
.
..good to see also the teenager years of Kento, Tao, and Alice and even Ayami..
.
..but then, what I really like the part besides the literal "flying and kick" are the part of these 3 teachers, the moment they speak it really hits a specifics person/s on the crime which they are involve..
.
..the episode is kinda long but all the scenes are worth it and must understand but thanks to UVERworld song as the OST..
.
..in the end, I find it just right, doesn't feel like, "I don't want to end it" or "make another season"..
.
..but still, like the other comments and reviews, I also love this film, so cool, so badass..
