Honestly, I rather invest myself in japanese slice of life/thriller/mystery shows set in school. They could be dark but at the same time, it reflected the modern society. As for this drama, I was intrigued by the title. Ethics? I rarely found my experiences with Ethics or Philosophy lessons to be interesting but I decided to give a shot because teaching and learning is my field. I expected a darker side of school's environment, but turned out, it was very relatable.

The drama has no major plot; it mainly focused on the ethics students' real life chunks and how Takayanagi approached them using philosophy which also contributed to his growth as an Ethics teacher. I personally think we can get to know more on each character's life especially Takayanagi but they probably had limitations on screenplays (who knows) since jdramas have been 8-10 episodes only. It has so many potentials to be elaborated as a solid and complete drama as a whole.

My knowledge on Ethics Education is very limited so I cannot simply judge the lesson contents delivered in this drama. Nevertheless, I like the dialogue session. I'm not a person that opens to a discussion or small talks hence I didn't apply this strategy in teaching but I guess this method is applicable and meaningful to Ethics. It was brief but it did spark interests; at least for me.

I love Takayanagi although I always go against the smokers lol. I would have loved Ethics too. He showed another side of an educator; calm and seem hard to be approached yet with the best comforting words and presence. Quite an inspiring personality to me. Also, I love other characters too especially Aizawa. She has been bold and I like her learning spirit. Similarly, Taniguchi in the first episode stole me with him being a comedic relief. I originally found his intention to be a teacher is pure, it reminds me of my reasons to be one, although we were in a different boat.

Overall, as a person who likes to relate and reflect, I enjoy this drama. I learnt a lot!
