If you're looking for a good school drama, then look no further! As a second-year high school student, I find that this drama really does teach you, or rather remind you of what's right, and what should be done. It's aimed for the youth that are struggling with growing up and living in this world. It has a message, actually a lot of them! You begin to love every single character, relate to their feelings and I personally feel that each character couldn't be portrayed better by another actor. The casting really is outstanding! I judge on whether a Movie/Drama is good by if it made me shed some tears or not, be it happy tears or sad ones. Even if it's a cliche moment, if the acting, music and atmosphere were able to make me cry, then they have succeeded in sending the message and illustrating those feelings. 'Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu' made me cry many times. Definitely worth the watch!
