I am happy to declare that the second Dragon Zakura is must watch! Enough time has passed since the first season that this glorified study tips jdorama wrapped up in a GTO coat of paint seems fresh and new again!
We get the same teaching tips and guest teachers from the first season. Well not the same teachers but similar. Except the English teacher is very cringey. TBC should hire me as a consultant anytime they have English in jdoramas.
Every element is working very well. You want to root for the underdog students and Nagasawa Masami does her job to connect all the characters together and do the expositions. The students are all likable and Dragon Zakura knows how to create plenty of feel good moments and character arcs. The main story of if 5 students pass the school gets sold does create a interesting rock and hard place conundrum for Sakuragi sensei.
Abe Hiroshi has been on a roll two two consecutive jdoramas sequels that have turned out to be good in KDO and now Dragon Zakura. Absolutely must watch and if you have not seen the first season get it first but don't marathon both seasons in a roll. A big thank you to miamaw subs for subbing!
You missed out tagging this post as must watch!
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a good impression of the first season, but I found this very entertaining. Everyone should be watching this!
