Not your average tv show...
I have watched many Japanese dramas since I started watching asian dramas to begin with. Every single one feels like a bad dream.
Maybe I haven’t had a good pick of the litter so to speak, I might just be attracted to the strange titles and descriptions. After all, those crazy titles and descriptions are what always seem to draw me in.
Homeroom was no exception to this.
I think the first episode of this series really sums up what you’re going to get by watching this show.
The girl’s teacher is an absolute psychopath, and she’s not far from one as well, as the show progresses. She’s a victim to her teacher's creepy obsession with her, but simultaneously becomes infatuated with him as well. I don’t want to say anymore on the plot, as you’ll see that yourself when watching it.
The show really hit me in the gut. It was strange, and the story kept progressively getting stranger and stranger. Weird actions kept popping out of no where, as if the characters themselves were on some sort of psychotic drug.
It was sad watching every character seem to fall apart one by one. Feelings of love for characters would become disgust incredibly fast, and I realized how stupid it was to become attached to anyone in this genre of drama.
Do I recommend watching the show? I suppose, although it’s not for the faint of heart. I finished it in about 2.5 hours, although I would skip over some scenes that disturbed me too much.
I ought to put a trigger warning for major depressive symptoms in the characters. It’s a psycho show, so maybe that’s not so crazy to most looking into watching this show.
