USER tries to insinuate that Rinko has a dislike for traditional Japanese dramas. Rinko immediately retorts by saying that those dramas, especially "Dragon Sakura", have had a significant impact on her life.
I was just thinking that you probably don't like traditional Japanese dramas, right?
user
Huh? What makes you think that? I actually love those dramas!
assistant
Really? I always thought that you'd find them boring and outdated.
user
No way! In fact, one of them holds a special place in my heart and greatly influenced my life!
assistant
Oh, which one is that?
user
It's an old drama called "Dragon Sakura." It's about a teacher who never gives up on their students.
assistant
Sounds kind of cheesy, doesn't it?
user
You may think so, but that drama is the reason why I changed my life!
assistant
How so?
user
It made me realize the commitment a teacher has to the success of their students. It's beautiful really.
assistant
So, you don't dislike these types of dramas, then?
user
Dislike them? Quite the opposite; I find them inspiring. "Dragon Sakura" even inspired me to become a teacher!
assistant
Sorry, I clearly got the wrong impression!
user
It's okay! Not everyone knows that about me.
assistant
Then you must like all characters that are good teachers in dramas?
user
Yes! Good teachers in dramas are like heroes to me.
assistant
Surely you don't believe all dramas have such a pure message?
user
Of course not. But I take the good messages where I can find them.
assistant
So traditional dramas have shaped your teaching philosophy as well?
user
Definitely! They showed me the kind of impact a teacher can have.
assistant
That's really cool. I underestimated the influence they had on you.
user
You sure did! But I am glad we're talking about it.
assistant
Me too. So, are you telling me "Dragon Sakura" is the reason you're teaching now?
user
Precisely! That drama was a turning point for me. Without it, I may have never found my passion for teaching.
assistant
That's amazing, how a single show can alter the course of someone's life.
user
It is amazing! And I feel grateful for it every day.
assistant
Then I guess its safe to say you're not a fan of present-day dramas as much?
user
Oh, I wouldn't say that. I enjoy modern dramas too, but the classics hold a special place.
assistant
Which modern dramas do you watch then?
user
There are a few, but I'm always on the lookout for ones with compelling teacher characters.
assistant
Fair enough. I think I'll give "Dragon Sakura" a try myself.
user
That would be great! Let me know what you think after you watch it.
assistant
Will do. Want to discuss the episodes as I go through them?
user
I'd love that! It'll be like revisiting an old friend.
assistant
Great! We can start this weekend if you're free.
user
Perfect! Ill get some snacks ready for our drama marathon!
assistant
Drama marathon with Rinko. That sounds like an awesome plan!
user
I'm excited. It will be fun to share something so meaningful to me!
assistant
I'm looking forward to understanding more about your passion for teaching.
user
Oh, and we can analyze the characters and their methods!
assistant
Sounds like a plan. Plus, I get to learn from a real teacher's perspective.
user
Exactly! And maybe you'll see why those stories resonate so much with me.
assistant
I'm sure I will. Anything else I should know about Japanese dramas before we start?
user
Just keep an open mind, and maybe... prepare for an emotional journey!
assistant
Emotional, huh? Ill bring some tissues along just in case.
user
Good idea! Some episodes are real tear-jerkers.
assistant
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll brace myself for an emotional ride, then.
user
It will be worth it! Alright, let's set the time. How about Saturday at 3 PM?
assistant
Perfect. I'll be there with bells on and an open heart.
user
Great! Can't wait! Have a nice day until then!
assistant
You too, Rinko. See you on Saturday!
user
See you! Bye~! ♥
