Chastity High

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.

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.

Despite its flaws, the series delves into relevant modern themes, set against the backdrop of a strict school environment where romantic relationships are forbidden. It explores the emotional struggle of navigating a romance while concealing true feelings, all under the pressure of rigid rules and societal expectations. The story masterfully portrays the tension between personal desires and external constraints, offering a compelling narrative that resonates deeply. Despite its imperfections, the series captures the complexity of love and connection, making it worth watching and reflecting on.

Only those who do not know how to admire the theme of the work would not know how to evaluate this series.

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.

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 ''.
