  When I've start watching Taiyou to umi no kyoushitsu I was convinced the drama is the only a nice story for free time without any message. However, then I've changed my mind. Hachirou's death was shocking...
  
  Dear Sakurai Sakutaro discretely teaches students how to make good decisions, teaches responsibility... Hmm.. He was annoying, but nothing new - generations conflict.
  
  The simple school drama, but... with a moral.

  Dream High

  The same genre just just without music, classmates, friends who are graduating, dreams about future...
