Chastity High

This show is as I mentioned (in my opinion) the Japanese equivalent of Netflix's Sex Education. The soundtrack and use of music to create tension alongside cinematic shots was the highlight of the later episodes of the series for me and I felt this show actually got better as it went on, rather than more boring and messy like alot of jdramas and kdramas tend to do.

All the characters were well thought out and likeable, (aside from some obvious antagonists) and I especially loved how no characters (even the antagonists) were represented as wholly good or bad, they were all morally grey just as reality is. However I didn't feel as though I was watching some gritty and depressing thought provoking peice, it was still a fun and giggly teen romance show.

The reason I didn't give this show a 10/10 is because although I think many diverse issues were covered in this show, there were a few places I found potentially lacking in conviction, as the 'comeuppance' and punishment for certain characters and actions fell flat and lacking, despite this being a potentially more realistic result.

I think most negative reviews of this show come from people who either morally disagree with some aspects of the show, which, in my opinion, does not have to ruin the show as it is not outrageously provocative or in your face. Or, the reviews come from people who were expecting an innocent and sweet romance, like many kdrama and jdramas tend to have, without any sense of reality for our current society.

I would love to see a second season of this show as it very quickly became one of my favourites on Netflix !!

Im actually only writing this as a response to the ridiculously negative reviews. The negative reviews have got to be from boomers, or maybe hyper-conservative folks, either way they have no idea how the real world works. They're the ones crying about sex scenes in popular media i presume. Newsflash, high school kids have been having sex since.... forever. Also important to note, there is literally only one single sex scene in this series. Apart from one, everyone always has their clothes on, the sex is simply implied. I know i'm on my high horse here but i have a problem with people leaving bad reviews just because they're mad about the subject matter.

Anyway.... this show was entertaining! I have a short attention span personally but i actually watched the whole thing. It's a japanese high school romance/drama fighting the powers that be, and they told the story well. Kids wanna love who they want but the school says nuh uh, chaos ensues. What's not to like? They even wrap it up nicely, which is something most shows definitely mess up nowadays. People may disagree with the main protagonists actions, but that's adolescence baby, even fully grown adults make mistakes, kids are allowed to mess up too. If you love love, then i recommend this show.

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.

It was inappropriate and full of sexual content, i watched the first and second episodes with my sister thinking that its a good highschool series like the kdrama the hierarchy , pyramid games etc , i ended up watching a japanesse version of elite , so disappointed to be honest . This serie is broadcast internationally on netflix meaning everyone will watch it and it does not promote anything good at all ! I just stopped watching because i couldn't handle what im seeing relation between the teacher and the student ! Blackmailing each others what kind of morals this gonna give to the young people watching this.

Japanese Drama '' Chastity High '' is a school melodrama.

The story centers around the main lead, Arisawa Ichika, as she struggles to survive financially and becomes an unexpected hero.

The drama tackles a lot of themes, with sensitivity and care, but, due to its length, it doesn't manage to present them properly. None of them has the proper organic development and some of them, especially the romance, feel rashed.

Still, the characters were interesting and the actors and actresses of the cast did an amazing job with their performances.

So, overall, seven out of ten for '' Chastity High ''.
