Just wanna ask one question: during the last year, are there other dramas than Watashitachi no kyokasho and LIFE that have been about bullying??
Quote from: shirenu on September 20, 2007, 07:39:42 AMJust wanna ask one question: during the last year, are there other dramas than Watashitachi no kyokasho and LIFE that have been about bullying?? Seito Shokun! had a lot of bullying moments (especially in later episodes), although that wasn't intended to be the main theme...and I expect new season of Kinpachi Sensei will keep this trend going on too...
