I remember seeing this movie in a suggested list before and I read one review that wasn't very positive about it so I put it on hold as I thought it wasn't worth my time and I'd only watch it if I had nothing else but boy was I wrong.
I've watched a lot of these dramas revolving around school life and I wasn't sure how I felt about the dynamic of student and teacher but this is by far the best one I've ever seen. I can not fault this movie in any way. It was just enough in every aspect. The drama between the two main leads had me on edge and just dying with anticipation. I can't fathom why so many people thought this movie was average it was beyond amazing for me.
Their relationship was beautiful and I felt every single emotion Yuni felt in it. I adore that actress and the reason I watched it was because she was in it.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone whos on the fence about watching it. It's amazing. 10/10

This is  very typical japanese school drama featuring the 'bully' main and the 'insecure' girl. I definetely enjoyed this movie but as a stand alone. It's not a great adapation from the manga. The one main problem I had with this movie was the cinematography. As someone who did a tv and film course I can properly ask what the hell? There are scenes in this movie that just feels like that guy editing it didn't want to go through all the possible clips and pick the best ones. And they chose the completely wrong time to make these mistakes. For example during the emotional scenes. They start with a wide shot of the main couple talking and instead of cutting in close so the audience can see the emotions being portrayed by the actors they just stay on the wide shot for like 5 minutes longer than necessary and it just makes the movie lose so much value. Other than that I would have rated this movie an 8/10 as I'm a huge fan of the mean boy good girl troupe used in a lot of japanese dramas.

Over all a good movie and a must see if you enjoy school romance movies as much as I do!
