Sorry to jump in. I am disappointed at the rating although not at all surprised. Story about war is always a sensitive matter and some ppl just avoid it altogether.

Sho really did a great job in portraying Shirahama-sensei and he had put in so much to this drama sp. I hope his talent and effort can be recognized and appreciated and not be judged by the rating. This drama really shows he can act, not just funny dorky characters, but serious ones as well.
