Fast Forward to AVOID: A Review of a Waste of Time

Oh boy, where do I even start with "Homeroom"? I thought I was signing up for a heartwarming teacher-student story with a dash of drama, but what I got was a one-way ticket to Creepyville!

First of all, let’s talk about Mr. Rintaro Aida. Handsome? Sure. But behind that charming smile is a guy who makes even the creepiest of villains look like teddy bears. Here I was, thinking he was the knight in shining armor for poor Sachiko Sakurai, only to find out he's the one orchestrating her daily nightmares. Plot twist of the century? More like plot twist straight out of a horror movie!

The whole premise of the show is like something out of a bizarre fever dream. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to portray psychological manipulation and abuse as some twisted form of romance? Watching this drama felt like getting stuck in a cringy and uncomfortable loop, and trust me, I wanted out by the first commercial break. Don't get me started on the "romantic" undertones – there’s nothing romantic about a teacher playing puppet master with his student’s life.

After painfully enduring the first episode, I thought, "Maybe it gets better?" Spoiler alert: it doesn't. I ended up skipping episodes 5-9, hoping to find some redeeming quality, but all I got was more of the same creepy antics. By the end, I was more horrified than entertained.

In conclusion, "Homeroom" is a one-way ticket to an unsettling and weird experience. If you're into creepy teachers and misguided plotlines, this might be your jam. But for me? One episode was more than enough to say, "Thanks, but no thanks." If you value your time and sanity, I’d recommend steering clear of this drama.
