On the day of graduation, 10 days away, 'Hiiragi Ibuki', a homeroom teacher who was ignored by his students, began to speak strangely after greeting in the morning. “From now on, you are hostages.”

The students initially thought the teacher's strange words were just a joke, but after several explosions and complete isolation, they realized the seriousness of the situation. The classroom windows were locked, and it was impossible to move to other floors. There were even CCTV cameras in the classroom, making it impossible to avoid the teacher's gaze. The only space available for 30 students for 10 days is the classroom and the bathroom. Moreover, the teacher has a bomb-detonating button on his wristwatch. Will the students be able to graduate safely from school?

The Japanese drama “3-nen A-ban (Mr. hiiragi's homeroom)” is a mystery genre drama that aired in 2019. It features a large number of young Japanese actors such as Suda Masaki, Nagano Mei, Imada Mio, and Mori Nana. If you've seen a few Japanese dramas, you might recognize many familiar actors.

With the unique setting of the teacher taking the students hostage, the students experience more conflict than cooperation, even in an extreme situation where they are all taken hostage. The teacher watching these students gives them special lessons every day. You wonder what the teacher wants to teach his students by holding them hostage.

Actor Suda Masaki played the role of 'Hiiragi Ibuki', the teacher. Suda Masaki is an actor who has appeared in dramas such as “Modest but Wonderful! Proofreader Kono Etsuko”, “Todome no Kiss”, “dele”, “The Story Begins”, and is one of Japan's most popular actors. He is also active as a singer and has released several albums so far. In 2021, he announced his marriage to actress Komatsu Nana.

Unlike other students who rebel against the teacher and show aggression, 'Kayano Sakura', the class president, is the only student who is almost friendly to the teacher. She is also the student who gave the answer that the teacher wanted to hear about the reason for the hostage situation. You wonder what Kayano Sakura knows, who was particularly close to a friend in an empty seat.

The role of Kayano Sakura was played by actress Nagano Mei. Nagano Mei is an actress who has appeared in films such as “And the Baton Was Passed On”, “My Broken Mariko” and dramas such as “Half Blue”, “Hakozume”, “Because You Gave Your Heart” and starred in “Half Blue” in 2018. After starring in “Half Blue”, she has been active as a leading actress, breaking away from supporting roles.

It is said that teaching lessons is a characteristic of Japanese dramas, and this drama shows the epitome of instructional dramas. This is because the drama teaches students a message that the teacher wants to give them through extreme methods by taking them hostage. This drama uses SNS, which has become a social problem, to make viewers feel what might happen if SNS is used incorrectly.
