Quick reviews: dramas

I’ve been watching a bit too much – though it has slowed down a bit these last few weeks in the lead up to the JLPT. As I mentioned to my cousin…I’ve still got a whole host of series lined up to watch, including a 50-episode taiga drama. That’s just a small part of the reason I chose not to pick up any new dramas, although watching Galileo or Iryuu2 certainly would have been useful for the lesson my students have recently started.

So, lately (meaning, ‘since I got to Japan’), four dramas. Two of them were of great interest at the start of my stay here, because they dealt with particular aspects of the educational system here in Japan. Both are rather cynical about it, to be honest, though they certainly do not seem to offer anything that would be all that useful unless one has their own class (I would kill for my own class of students right now).
