I just watched the first 2 episode because two of my friends told me it was good and I loved it. But it's kinda hard to watch.
I think this can become my favourite drama (or one of them). Fukuda really looks like Miyabi, when I first saw Fukuda in LIFE that's was my first thought XD

Epic drama! A pretty satisfactory ending.

I am now a completely converted FukuSaki fan. Hoping for more interaction between her and Kie in the future.

Just barely watched ep. 1.

holy crap this is an intense drama.


Makes me wonder though, though shit like this actually happen in Japanese high schools (yeah I know it's probably a hyperbole) o_o Cause I've only seen this kind of bullying in Japanese drama/movies.

I'm on episode 7 and I love it. Although truthfully, Katsumi creeps me out  :shocked:

But at the same time... I absolutely adore Saki's character  :lol: Probably because I love her as an idol so much, but she totally pwns at playing the bad girl. The girl can act!

Katsumi scares the hell out of me to and he only gets worse (especially in the last episode). Saki is great at playing the bad girl.

I just watched the last episode and it doesn't feel like it's the end for some reason O.o and I feel kinda sorry for Manami O.o
But this drama really is one of my favoruites EVER (haven't seen that many XD). But when the hard subs is done by SOS Im going to download the whole drama again and watch it :P

LIFE was probably my favourite drama this season. It was totally overacted at points, but that just made me love/hate the characters even more. I've got to go pick up the manga soon, some friends at school were reading it and it looks well interesting.

Veoh doesn't like me, so I had to watch most of the drama without subs. I'm actually kind of proud of myself, as this was the first time I ever tried.

Awesome drama

Probably the most intense drama I've seen so far.

I'd read the manga but I'm not really a fan of reading shoujo manga, tried it but I lose interest, but I love drama based off them :lol:

The manga is much better than the drama. At least, it's far more intense in its subject matter and the characters are more well rounded and believable. Only read a few volumes so far, but it's great.

This series was the sleeper hit of this anemic summer dorama season.
despite the fact that I'm really tired of bullying dramas, I found this drama well written and decently acted. Kudos to the director and cast

I watched the RAW first on veoh and stopped cuz I can't stand all the bullying. But like all good drama, it's pulling me back, and this time I found one with English sub, so as horrified as I was with some of the scenes, at least I understand them better now.  It really makes me question Japan's school system. Does such bullying really a common occurrences there?

To a certain extent, I believe. Do keep in mind that the drama isn't a complete reflection of the Japanese society, teachers take more responsibility than that.

^ in some drama the teachers are very responsible for their students(or atleast try to be).

You really wouldn't have much of a story if you didn't focus on the extremes :lol:

It's like, what would get more ratings, a drama about actual high school life, or a drama about tormented children?

I probably wouldn't say that type of bullying is a common occurrence in Japan, but there's probably some schools where bullying is a major problem and some of these situations have happened.

Does anyone happen to have the theme songs of this drama (the instrumental opening, and the Mika Nakashima song)?  :3

EDIT: Nvm I got the Nakashima song, but the opening theme is still a mystery :?
