The Queen's Classroom

Luckily, a kind user of YouTube uploaded the English subbed version of this series so that people like me can watch them and I have to say that I'm enjoying every single episode!

Each character is well played by splendid actors. You can't help but to fall in love with Kazumi and her "Despite everything, I believe people are good at heart" attitude. Yuki Amami's "Maya" is positively scary and will make you glad that you didn't have a teacher like her when you were in the 6th grade. If you did have a teacher like her, you may not want to watch this show or you'll have to sign up for therapy. What's really amazing about this show are the super-talented kids - they're not background actors and actresses to a few star classmates. Their characters have their own personalities that make a major contribution to the show and the kids do an excellent job of bringing them out.

I haven't finished the series yet, but I'm going through the episodes like crazy. Each one will have you avoiding studying (like me) or working so you can find out what will happen next. "The Queen's Classroom" - great actors, great writing, great show. Watch it and fall in love like I did!
