Gokusen (2002)

then some how seem story but teacher version

ewly graduate Yamaguchi Kumiko an idealistic teacher who entered Shirokin High to be a math teacher. Having high hopes for her students, her world turned up side down when she finds out that she'll be teaching the class 3-D the hardest class to take care of. Class 3-D is a bunch of students who looks more like delinquents and trouble makers. The students show no respect to teachers nor a little kindness. Each and every student doesn't like teacher for almost everyone has no good memories of them. The leader of the class is Sawada Shin. He is well respected for there are rumors that he beat a teacher to death. The students try there hardest to bully and make fun of her so she'll quit but all there efforts went to waste because Yamaguchi ain't an ordinary Teacher. Yamaguchi Kumiko is actually the 4th generation heir to Oedo group, a yakuza clan. Even though everyone in there clan wants her to the next leader, she made up her mind and so everyone accepted it. Eventually in the story, the students found out that she is different from other teacher and earned their respects. They called her Yankumi...

typical story about teacher dealing with students, also full of comedy and there are so many heart warming scenes.

Both have the same elements:
1. Strong, inspiring teacher. Not to mention that the two actors have similar styles that would make you smile every time you see them on TV (especially alongside each other)
2. Tame your delinquent students and make them dream again.

Similar in the sense that 2 hardcore women who are into righting the wrong except gokusen is reforming gangsters and whatnot whereas saito san is reforming society

They are similar by:
-one female help a lot in the boys' lives
- similar feel: lots of comedy with a lot of heart.
- she goes through lengths to help the boys she comes to care for.
-There is hinted of romance, but there isn't much (veeeeeeerrrrrry small).
-the female leads do learn from the boys just as much as she helps them.

Difference:
-The female in Gokusen is a teacher while in AND, she is the boys' step-mom.
- The female lead in AND was hesitant at first before accepting them while in Gokusen, she was accepting from the start.

Although these dramas have two VERY different story lines, the main female protagonist in Make a Woman Cry (Deok In) gives off a similar vibe as Yankumi in the Gokusen series. Deok In does her best to protect the young male students from bullies, and goes to far lengths to ensure their safety, even giving them life lessons during the way (plus, she's quite a talented martial artists like Yankumi). Although Yankumi is a teacher and Deok In is in the restaurant business, I felt like the slice of life/serious feel is definitely apparent in these two as they protect those around then, especially in/near a school setting.

The female lead is an ordinary person who fix her problems by fighting the people who made the injustice. Both females were raised into fighting arts.

Both of these dramas star young Johnny's idols. The dramas' leads are Arashi Members: Ninomiya Kazunari for Stand Up!! and Matsumoto Jun for Gokusen. Also, Oguri Shun and Narimiya Hiroki are in both supporting casts. They both center around high school life and troubled youth. It's really fun to see these actors' early works.

They kind of have the same concept. A teacher trying to help all her students to graduate and at the same time help them with their personal life and when a problem arise

Both dramas are about a school full of yankees! If you like fighting and shouting, you will love it ;)

Both drama show female teachers helping their students

..................

There's no angry mom in Gokusen but there is some organized crime involved but more like Han Gong Ju-style, there is a righteous teacher, a stupid vice principal and unruly students, but also some rather preachy dialogues/monologues. Regardless, both are a fun watch with darker themes (Angry Mom is upfront with it, if not a bit gory at times while Gokusen is more careful, mostly if you care to think hard and long enough since Gokusen's premise relies more on comedy) as the students mature and grow through their actions.

Teachers with secret identities.
Yankee students.
Life lessons.

Both have the "Passionate young teacher" as the premise. Sawada and Kuma made an appearance in Yoiko no Mikata".
