Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun (2023)

Simplesmente um drama super comfort japonês!

Simplesmente amei esse Dorama, se transformou claramente no meu drama comfort só que japonês.
Preciso elogiar os personagens.
Primeiramente o Toki, nossa, atuação incrível, transmitiu muito do personagem, ele foi um personagem aberto e claro, do tipo que gosta ou não gosta de algo, sempre deixando claro as coisas, além de claramente ser um ótimo amigo que se preocupa com todos.
Sahara, obviamente incrível, uma postura de professor mas descontraída, estando lá nos momentos certos e nos fazendo surtar claramente, principalmente na parte "não se preocupe, eu não farei nada", juro, aquele tom de voz acabou comigo. Além de quê o ator fez outra série que eu amo, estando agora como Lucky, e juro, eu demorei um pouco pra reconhecer, mas admiro imensamente o trabalho dele.

A série foi muito gostosa de assistir, não tem como não gostar, você tem momentos de comédia, momentos surtos, tudo! Amei que não ficaram grudados a temática de ex-namorado, mostrando uma boa superação
Watwing, cantando a ost do drama, eu me apaixonei nessa música imensamente

Ou seja, tudo nesse drama e incrível e muito gostosinho, recomendo a todos!

Started out fun and engaging, even the cinematography (the yellowish filter which reminded me of the horror movies in the 2000s, i thought Sadako was gonna spring out out of nowhere) is A grade, Then somehow it got a little boring in the middle and then i realized i wasnt even looking forward to any of the episodes anymore, i just finished watching just for the sake of finishing the series.

One big problem is the chemistry between Sahara and Toki. I dont mind and i actually like the awkward overacting, but they just didnt show enough to make me care about their characters and to root for the relationship. I didnt even understand the 'slap in the back' thingy which were supposed to be a thing of affection considering those were such strong slaps and didnt they say Sahara has (or had) a back injury?

The addition of Nekoto- and for goodness sake his emo hair is so annoying - n the last few episodes even made the show worse, no wonder why Sahara chose Toki isntead of him.

Let me get this out of the way too. The idea of a teacher getting into a relationship with a high school student is very cringy layered with too many inappropriateness that gets worse when being romanticized. I am not a conservative but this is not something that i would feel comfortable seeing in real life no matter how small the age gap is.

Is this something that happens normally in Japan and i wonder what is the targeted demographic for these kind of contents? it smells of something predatory.

The fact that this is the second Japanese BL within the past 6 months with this age gap (the other one is One Room Angel) kinda bothered me a little. One other BL with this kind of premise is Minato's Laundromat (with not one but 2 of this kind of relationships) and that even got a second season. In these series, they show the younger leads vehemently pursuing the older guys, and they make you think it is ok. I somehow feel its not. These 3 series features younger HIGH SCHOOL male leads being partnered with adult guys (to be fair Minato's Laundromat handled it better) Im not against big age gap between partners but i think we have to be reminded that these high school students are STILL kids compared to the older guys they are running after. At least make both characters "adult" even if you make a 20-year age gap then it might be ok.

Overall, its a 6.5 for me. This is a series i wont even remember after a few months, and its not even entertaining enough to be rewatched.
