Escola dos Romances Proibidos

The show had a great premise but for the sake of drama it messed up a lot of things. The pace was kinda slow. The initial premise of "love-keeper" was great but they added a lot of side stories that felt like fillers. Maybe those will be useful in the coming seasons(if netflix don't treat it like it's others shows) but removing those from the show would've helped the pacing a lot. The love stories were a hit or miss. This Show Had a lot of love triangles that I was actually confused in the end about who ended up with who. Acting,Art direction, Cinematography and Music was flawless in most cases. I know this show would not feel appropriate to many people specially adults but as a teenager I enjoyed it.

Overall it's a show that doesn't do anything great but fun to binge in a weekend.

A lot of these negative reviews here are not about the plot but rather about their own views on the "is sex in high school bad?" dilemma.

Reviews should be about the TV show, not about whatever you think is morally correct or not. So for those who want a quick review regarding the quality of the actual TV show, read below.

It shows how teenage students in a private high school in Japan tackle with a no-romance rule that is imposed by the principal. It is emotional and shows different variations of love and heartbreak and the different ways people cope with these feelings, a bit of diversity if you will. I thought that it portrayed quite a realistic view of how japanese people think of love and expressing feelings.

The cinematics were very eye pleasing, a 9/10. Lots of romance scenes had beautiful, mesmerising set ups, very beautiful cinematography and I cannot praise it enough.

Up until the last 2 episodes it was very exciting to watch. The last episode felt a bit unrealistic, maybe a bit rushed. The last episode had quite a lot going on, and I think it could've been prolonged to 12 episodes instead, to ease the unevenly rushed final episode. It was of course left open for a potential second season and had (in my opinion) an interesting twist to a twist if you would.

Would I recommend it? Yes. It tugged at my heartstrings, though I am maybe a bit too emotional. If you're looking for a TV show to binge at night and want to cry a bit, it is definitely for you.

Did it have flaws? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Also yes. That's why I give it a 8/10.

Since there's a few unhelpful reviews, I figured I'd leave my two cents to give those interested a fresh take.

The show touches on significant themes such as sex, teenage relationships, domestic violence, and the potential for grooming, so viewers should be prepared for some heavy topics.

From the title alone, it's clear that the show revolves around the concept of chastity, but it delves much deeper into the complexities of teenage relationships. We also knew this from the trailer & premise of the show. It's not blind siding the audience at all. If it triggers you, why watch it then?

It feels similar to that of Netflix's Sex Education, but Chastity High takes a more serious approach. Instead of quirky lessons in sexual education for an English audience, the show is made in Japan, where love hotels do exist. Sexual & fake love relationships are readily accessible & out in the open in Japan. I've been there twice, I have family there, calm down. I know what I see. So this doesn't deviate far from the norm at all, but the school rules do seem excessive, at the same time Japanese school rules usually are excessive and strict.

Anyways, the TV show focuses on a character who "protects" the romantic lives of her peers, but with a catch. This concept feels fresh, even if the execution isn't flawless.

I don't often watch Asian dramas anymore because a lot of them can be cliche, if you catch my drift. Chastity High was refreshing to say the least. As someone who doesn't often watch Asian dramas due to their often cliché nature, I found 'Chastity High' refreshing. It's not without its flaw. There are moments when the story drags, and some characters blend togethe, but it accurately portrays the ups and downs of teenage love and growth. These relationships, while often fleeting, play a crucial role in personal development, and the show captures that well.

I didn't binge watch it in one sitting; it's the kind of show that benefits from breaks due to its pacing. However, it kept me engaged enough to return and finish it. The character development was a highlight, though a bit more distinction between some characters would have improved the experience.

Overall, Chastity High may not be groundbreaking, but it's a thoughtful and decently accurate portrayal of teenage life that's worth watching nonetheless.

Chastity High is a mind-boggling disaster. I watched the entire series hoping for a reality check, but it never came - even in the final 15 minutes of the last episode I still held out for one, alas... This show promotes teenage pregnancy and devalues the education system, which is scary. It's set in Japan, a first-world country that apparently has run out of real problems to tackle.

The premise is flawed: why must high school students fight for their right to sexual/intimate relationships? Can't they wait until they finish high school, go to university, and then have the freedom to make their own choices? Isn't that the idea - to delay intimacy until they're older and more mature? These are 14-17yrs olds. I shudder.

The rule wasn't about banning love, but about delaying its physical expression. Yet, the show insists on pushing this unhealthy narrative. The main character's audacity is staggering, especially after extorting and shaming others due to her own daddy issues. It's a classic case of immature writers making decisions about life without experiencing it themselves. Overall, Chastity High is a cringeworthy and misguided attempt at exploring complex issues.

This is the 2nd one from Japan with a no romance rule. The first one was from an all boys school and they won the right to have romance. This one the girl sued the school and still lost through a vote. Kind of a double standard if you ask me. One of the teachers whose younger brother was a student at the school was also having an affair with a student. Another student was in love with a school counselor. The other reviewers are complaining about this series promoting teen sex and romance and that they are too young. People get real this is the 21st century. What needs to happen is that they need to start teaching sex education in schools and explaining to the students the consequences of their actions for whatever they do. As for the ending it would have been perfect if they left it alone. Instead they added a part in which the lead actress has a picture taken of her with a blackmail demand and the group calls themselves romance killers. This series needed only one season but with this ending it opens it up for a 2nd to tie the loose ends. The 2nd season if it does get made should only consist of 6 episodes.
