I wonder why the rating is so low in MDL.... This is one of the best jdramas, one of my all time favorites. This drama actually helped me a lot with studying when I was a student. It gave me new insights about the reason to study, and how to cope with demotivation when studying. The life lessons this drama taught still relevant up to this day. This is an old drama but it's still worth to watch in 2022, especially for students.

Abe Hiroshi is excellent in this drama, as expected from him. It's one of his best works.
