Meet Me After School

I'm not sure how to feel about this drama. For one it really is an excellent drama with some of the best chemistry I've seen and great performances. The obvious issue though is the ML is a 15 year old falling for his 25 year old teacher. For the life of me I'll never understand why they didn't make the ML 18 instead of 15 and avoid controversy altogether, I mean why even go there? But they went there. The drama does not glorify or condone this behavior, but it definitely romanticizes it and that's what a lot of people understandably have a problem with.

I suggest you watch for yourself and see what you think, there is a lot to be felt in this drama.

Very good the lead actor is so handsome could look at him all day. The story was heartbreak in parts really felt empathy for the lead actors . considering it was his first lead acting he was excellent cant wait to see him in other movies or dramas .

When I started it, I didn't know what to expect from the story ( I thought boy would be 18 and even if he had feelings for the teacher, he would confess after few years or something) but boom, not at all like it, everything happens so quickly.

The teacher is very sweet, friendly and cheerful ( trying her best ) and the student ( 15 years old) is complicated ( haha not bad personality, little tired of family drama I guess ). I was in shock how their relationship gradually built ( it is definitely shocking).

I believe if the teacher was more strict, such situation would not arise ( she literally fell for him instantly which seems disappointing, like one should atleast have discipline and professionalism).

The storyline takes many unpredictable turns so it's interesting. It was definitely not at all boring ( a good binge watch) but I believe the concept is very controversial.

Basically she is a teacher with " passion" for teaching. At the age of "15" she shd have guided her student to complete his education at any cost first and then think about other things. When she realizes infatuation of one of her students aged 15, she was ,"25" quite old enough to understand the implications. In due course too she just gives her love as "excuse" as her co worker rightly points out. Age gap might not be deterrent but in that case both shd be ADULTS with their heads firmly on their shoulders. Here the boy is still high schooler? Fanning his feelings is CRIMINAL. She shd have refrained and guided him properly as TEACHER. Rather than doing the correct thing she keeps on justifying her misendevour. Plus she had her ex by her side who has been shown to be a dependable rational person. Rather than going with him this selfish in late 20s teacher keeps on seducing her student!

Irrational and criminal!

It seems that rather director WANTS it this way just for (?) cheap sensationalism.

Second Japanese series I watch that a woman falls in love with an 15-year old. It feels uncomfortable. I have nothing against an age gap but a 15-year old guy (boy!)?! I just can't understand... It made the series very burdened. I totally don't get why the script writers made this decision.

That being said, I hoped when he became an adult, it would become a more lighthearted series but it didn't. We almost never saw them smile with/at each other.

11 episodes weren't needed, it felt dragged on.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad but I would have liked it more if the romance became more lighthearted.
