Drama Digest

Kuroki Kurodo becomes the director of a cram school that was known for its many students clearing the middle school exam but not anymore. He was a very brilliant teacher and has come to this cram school to get the student’s life back on track and promises them all that they will clear the middle school exam. he is a competent teacher and is determined to make all his students pass this exam and choose their dream careers.

The Feel-Good Part

It is a good motivational show, with a very modern setting. It is not the typical high-school drama, there are many new, good changes. The show has diverse characters and everything is fresh and refreshing. It inspires you to achieve great things and is a good motivational show. It is a good boost if you are looking for inspiration to study for your upcoming exams.

The Disappointing Factor

The starting was slow and the ending was rather rushed. The first episode is not a catch and you don’t even get a little bit glimpse of any character’s development, though the first episode is too soon to judge the premises of the whole show. But if the audience doesn’t like the first episode itself, how are they going to watch the other? And the last few episodes were a bit fast-paced and it doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

In-Depth Analysis

Pay to ace shows the exact image of the flaws in our education system and the business the schools are running in the name of education. The education system today is so competent that every parent wants their kid to be the best and for that, they are ready to pay any amount of money, and the cram schools depicted in the show are using this for their own benefit.

Kuroki Kuroda is a brilliant teacher and he doesn’t care about the money but the future of the students and so he is determined to help every student clear the middle school examination.

Star Power

The star cast is good. The student-teacher relationship is fully developed and each character is played out well.

Overall Opinion

The drama is not a typical school drama but a rather serious version of it. if you are looking for an inspirational drama, this one is for you.
