While looking at the movie Killers where Rin Takanashi's character Hisae dies off-screen (man I just can't stand deaths like that and her little brother will starve), I just wanted to think of what if Nomura ran into Makoto Kiryu instead. I just thought of it since both characters are played by Rin Takanashi. Chances are, I think Makoto Kiryu will still die or she will survive depending on circumstances. Note that Hisae is a fragile person while Makoto Kiryu canactually fight. I can imagine how circumstances will be especially if Nomura might actually try to victimize any of her female students into bed for the sake of art. If you look at it, Makoto Kiryu is a tough girl and she became a P.E. teacher who tries to encourage her student (who can't walk) not to give up. What I thought was Nomura may actually view her as a threat instead of being drawn to her but he might not easily think it that way. A genocidal killer might want to make her the latest art of sorts... mayb...

Well here's Rin Takanashi's first lead role and here she is the P.E. teacher Makoto Kiryu.  So she starts off as a delinquent but changes for the better which for me, I really prefer her playing the badass bitch role rather than the flirty bitch at times.  Hmmm while I thought either Nao Nagasawa or Ayumi Kinoshita may have played the role better but hey, let's give Rin a chance shall we?  While she's no Oscar trophy winner or anything but she does pull off the job. So as a P.E. teacher for the whole ten episode J-Drama, I thought the drama itself the student life which reminds me of Gokusen (which I haven't watched the second and third seasons).  She becomes a teacher with the focus of these newbies namely Kiyoharu, Itcho, Minoru, Kotaro (who's pretty short for his age), Chinatsu (who loses her ability to walk), Emi and Aoi who are usually overshadowed by Chinatsu.  Chinatsu herself as a character is interesting considering she lost her ability to walk and Ma...

Well after some time to find some online streaming, I found it but no subs.  Boo!  Well, anyway, I'd rather watch it raw than dubbed.  So what do I think about it?  Here's my two cents and I'm up to episode four for now: The part where Rin plays the delinquent is kinda funny.  Okay she's not really all that spectacular when it comes to action but at least she did it right. Her role as a school teacher is amusing.  Well she's improved beyond her role as Mako Shiraishi. Other than that, the whole drama feels more like eye candy to me. =P
