Since there's a few unhelpful reviews, I figured I'd leave my two cents to give those interested a fresh take.
The show touches on significant themes such as sex, teenage relationships, domestic violence, and the potential for grooming, so viewers should be prepared for some heavy topics.
From the title alone, it's clear that the show revolves around the concept of chastity, but it delves much deeper into the complexities of teenage relationships. We also knew this from the trailer & premise of the show. It's not blind siding the audience at all. If it triggers you, why watch it then?
It feels similar to that of Netflix's Sex Education, but Chastity High takes a more serious approach. Instead of quirky lessons in sexual education for an English audience, the show is made in Japan, where love hotels do exist. Sexual & fake love relationships are readily accessible & out in the open in Japan. I've been there twice, I have family there, calm down. I know what I see. So this doesn't deviate far from the norm at all, but the school rules do seem excessive, at the same time Japanese school rules usually are excessive and strict.
Anyways, the TV show focuses on a character who "protects" the romantic lives of her peers, but with a catch. This concept feels fresh, even if the execution isn't flawless.
I don't often watch Asian dramas anymore because a lot of them can be cliche, if you catch my drift. Chastity High was refreshing to say the least. As someone who doesn't often watch Asian dramas due to their often cliché nature, I found 'Chastity High' refreshing. It's not without its flaw. There are moments when the story drags, and some characters blend togethe, but it accurately portrays the ups and downs of teenage love and growth. These relationships, while often fleeting, play a crucial role in personal development, and the show captures that well.
I didn't binge watch it in one sitting; it's the kind of show that benefits from breaks due to its pacing. However, it kept me engaged enough to return and finish it. The character development was a highlight, though a bit more distinction between some characters would have improved the experience.
Overall, Chastity High may not be groundbreaking, but it's a thoughtful and decently accurate portrayal of teenage life that's worth watching nonetheless.

I've been watching Roswell, New Mexico since it first aired and the political agenda was barely there compared to the way it is now. I'm pretty disappointed that mainstream media thinks non-political TV shows that viewers watch should be filled with political mainstream concepts. Don't get me wrong, outside of TV or TV shows that are about pushing a specific movement (like Rebel for instance) I'm all for it, but for TV shows like Roswell that's fiction and about aliens or the supernatural...stick to the fiction.
People watch TV shows like this because they want to escape the stressful realities. I'm not trying to be overwhelmed 24/7. I think entertainment TV, writers, and the like really need to learn to draw a line because they've gone too far in pushing the boundaries. Just because it's been done well in the past with some other TV shows, doesn't mean it's okay. The last year has been hard enough already, don't ruin a good thing like this show to push a message we see anyway. Give us a reason to escape from our realities.
Not everything needs to be about politics, and the sooner we learn this we'll end up taking a step forward to respecting others.
I really hope Roswell and other TV shows get it together. I was really looking forward to the most recent season, but now I'm just even more exhausted watching a show that was meant to be an escape.

Honestly, this would have been better as an unscripted reality TV show as to what Korean and international college dorm students are actually doing than a drama that looks like it's catered to middle schoolers or high school teenagers.
Let's not get into all the 10 star ratings on here... It's okay, but it's not amazing.
It's watchable if you're bored and multitasking, but like I wasn't all that intrigued by it. I was really hoping they'd offer more. I had really high expectations for this. I'm pretty disappointed.
I just really couldn't get invested in it, the humor was really immature. The laugh tracks really took away from the overall experience. I felt like it was lacking plot. Now I feel like I'm repeating myself because what more can you say than, "It was okay."
If you go to Reddit, you'll see a lot more trustworthy reviews than here. This could have had so much potential, but it fell flat and just to me.
Honestly, felt really cringey and I didn't even want to finish it.
