A broken man can't forgive his repented school bully.

Tsuda Kenjiro's acting is so good that I can feel his pain and rage.

How people in the 80s thought the 2020s would be.

Soda Master (Ep 8)

Enjoyed watching Soda Master, which is like a comedy mystery drama.

About three working adults in their 50s struggling in their present lives, both family and career. They get together again as they reminisce the good old days when they were kids in the 80s. That's when they start to remember their teacher who "disappeared", believed to be murdered.

So they start investigating to seek the truth which led them through a conspiracy of lies involving their hometown and families. What began as a distraction from their adult lives turned into something serious as they became a target of an unknown organization to stop them.

I really like the chemistry and close relationship the kids have with their teacher. It's funny and wholesome to watch, with her matching her energy and personality to them, being chaotic and spontaneous. She's the only teacher than understands and listens to them.

She's like their cool big sister that they can't forget even in adulthood.

They have one thing in common, being outcasts in school.

The teacher has rumors flying around about her supposedly being a former adult actress just because she's beautiful and rumors of her being a former criminal as she doesn't talk about her past that they started speculating as she's an "outsider" in the town at the time.

The students couldn't fit either in classes and clubs activities as they are "Otaku" that they form their own school club with the teacher as their advisor who encourage them to pursue their dreams no matter what others tell them to, which they hold on to into their adult lives.

I wish they would make a special drama to show more of their school days and their daily shenanigans which is fun to watch.
