I didn't watch 2003 version, but I heard 1993 version is better than its 2003 counterpart.
It's starring Sanada Hiroyuki and Sakurai Sachiko. It's very good.
Nojima Shinji, its writer, shows his pure genius here.
There are so many memorable quotes, and it made me to think a lot.
It's a sad drama, about the evil inside humans, but still, it's a reality. These things happen in real life. This drama is very different with typical Japanese high school drama or typical teacher/student drama.
