A School Behind Bars塀の中の中学校 담장안의 중학교 監獄裡的中學 150 min x 1 ep｜1 episode Although Junpei is aiming to become a professional photographer, he has just completed a five-year teaching post at a reform school. His next assignment is deputy homeroom teacher at a prison school. Junpei will be working alongside senior teacher, Miyake. The students of the prison school are all convicted felons. Those who have not yet finished compulsory education but show the will to learn and have a clean slate of behavior in prison are the conditions for admission to the school. However, the screening process is strict, and only those judged worthy by the admissions committee are permitted to take 14 subjects and study for seven hours a day. The students are something of a motley crew and this drama traces not only their rocky path to graduation but also how Junpei grows through coming into contact with them. Dragonflyとんぼ 잠자리 蜻蜓 90 min. x 1 ep. / 60 min. x 7 eps.｜8 episodes This is the story of a rebellious young man who is trapped in a violent existence and nevertheless tries to do what he feels is right. The main character is a member of a yakuza gang who is quick to strike back at things he dislikes and just as quick to correct what he sees to be wrong. His struggle to define and uphold his own code of ethics makes for a deeply searching drama that is far removed from “feel-good” stories about family and parent-child relationships. |
