A classic masterpiece

This was very fun and entertaining to watch. The plot is very original and the overdramatic-ness is hilarious , although it tends to be too overdramatic sometimes, in a way that it's giving anime in an overwhelming way.

I didn't find it realistic to involve all the characters in each and every episode. There is literally no point in having 27+ high school boys running around the city and getting involved in their teacher or classmate’s private business.

The characters are all unique and well crafted, which make the interactions engaging and entertaining to watch. Each episode left me wanting more, and it was definitely worth the watch. A bit sad that we never got to see if Shin and Yamaguchi ended up together (my ship!), and it's even more disappointing to see that Matsumoto Jun is nowhere to be found in the setlist of the other seasons (TT).

Gokusen is packed with cliques and scenes that will give you second hand embarrassment, but despite all this it still somehow manages to make me laugh, tear up and cover my face all at the same time. Truly a classic masterpiece.

TEEN GANG PLOTS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST

I'm not sure if it was this drama or the manga of Crows Zero from the 90's who kick started the almost genere of teen gangs with cute boys that rule with loyalty and friendship; whoever was it I own everything to them, because it's this genere what made me discover this drama, and so many more.

At times it might seem a bit silly, maybe a bit dumb and child-like, but once you can ignore those moments, if you're an adult or aren't simply into that content, I think the acting is fairly good, just as the plot, writting and maybe even the music.

I'm the most judgy person when it comes to dramas who have idols in it, because, in my experience, all of them tend to be so shitty and badly acted, I still have war flashbacks from 'The Killer In Me'. But surprisingly, or not that surprisingly, Jun Matsumoto fits the role of Sawada pretty well and does a fairly good acting in it. All to be said that maybe it's not needed to have such a talent for this kind of job, but it was still nice to see I never cringed or laughed with the writting or any scene.

The story, always revolving about forgotten children for society, the problematic kind, with no prospects or future who have gave up on trusting adults, only for one adult who genuinely care about them and show it through each episode never gets old. Maybe tiring at times if you binge watch the drama in a day, but definitely always entertaining in my opinion, with the typical Japanese humour that everyone who grew up with anime is used to.

So in short, I would recommend it if you're into friendship, loyalty gang stories or you like cute boys. It's not a masterpiece, but it's definitely neither something that would make you regret watching it.

This drama, Gokusen, gives a lot of joy for me to spare time at summer. The story base is great and every actors are some how handsome (especially one of them) and it have caused me to become one of his fans.
This drama teaches all kinds of people. Many people may think "They are bad, so they are bad, they can't change", while others just excludes them without a thought. Watching Gokusen will hopefully teach them something to change their thoughts.

Overall, I will (of-course) recommend this to my friends whether or not they like it. Ha ha ha ha!

It's the best teen friendship drama ever....no real romance here... pity...

De Volta aos Anos 2000

Gokusen foi uma das gratas surpresas recentes que tive. Um drama descomplicado, leve e engraçado. Me senti de volta aos anos 2000 onde as coisas eram mais simples e nada pretensiosas.

O drama não é uma mega produção nem nada do tipo mas tudo funciona, o elenco todo trabalhou bem junto, a história é boba, mas envolvente.

A protagonista é sem noção mas é isto que a torna engraçada. Cada episódio se resolve de forma interessante e simples, nada rebuscado ou complicado bem cara de mangá mesmo. Foi ótimo acompanhar esta heroína doida e divertida!

Ahh que J-drama maravilhoso

Tinha muito tempo que não me divertia tanto assistindo um drama dessa temática escolar. Gokusen chegou como quem não quer nada e acabou se tornando um dos J-dramas que mais gostei de assistir.

Não tenho o costume de assistir dramas antigos, e confesso que quando vi 2002 no ano de exibição desse drama fiquei com um certo pé atrás. No entanto, tudo isso embora quando embarquei nessa jornada.

O que aconteceria se a herdeira da quarta geração do Grupo Ooedo, um notório clã yakuza, resolvesse se tornar uma professora de ensino médio?

Yamaguchi Kumiko é uma professora nada convencional, que acaba de ser contratada pela escola Shirokin Gakuen para ensinar matemática aos problemáticos estudantes do 3D. Acostumados a espantar qualquer professor com seu péssimo comportamento, esses estudantes sequer sonharam que encontrariam uma adversária à altura desse embate.

Ao longo dos episódios temos a oportunidade de conhecer a história de vida de cada um desses estudantes enquanto aprendem a respeitar e admirar essa excêntrica professora que não mede esforços para ensiná-los importantes lições de vida.

Em meio a tantos dramas que se perdem no caminho Gokusen está ai para nos mostrar que não precisa de muito para entregar uma história engraçada, interessante, repleta de personagens cativantes e boas lições de vida. Vale muito a pena assistir esse J-drama.

Vine por Jun Matsumoto y Shun Oguri, me quedé por la historia (y por ellos, obvio jaja)

¡Hola, gente bella! ¿Les duelen los ojos por la combinación de colores de la placa? A mí también... En fin, hoy me paso por acá para hablarles de un jdrama (sí, otro) ya considerado clásico: #Gokusen.

El sueño de Yamaguchi Kumiko siempre ha sido convertirse en profesora. El día en el que su sueño se hace realidad, se lleva una sorpresa cuando se encuentra como tutora de la clase 3-D, la clase más problemática de la escuela, que no muestra nada de respeto hacia ella.

Esta serie parte de la clásica premisa de dorama escolar protagonizado por un profesor, pero eso no la hace menos original o interesante (sobre todo si tenemos en cuenta que se estrenó en 2002). Yamaguchi es una protagonista muy única; su personalidad fuerte, su manera de expresarse y la forma en la que resuelve los conflictos son más propias de algunos personajes masculinos (como es el caso del prota de GTO, que fue una inspiración para esta historia). Ver cómo ella comienza a relacionarse con los alumnos de la clase 3-D y los ayuda a resolver sus problemas, es muy lindo.

Pasando a los alumnos, mi cariño hacia ellos fue creciendo lentamente. Al principio sentía que no iba a poder conectar con nadie, por lo que fue una linda sorpresa notar lo mucho que había disfrutado el dorama cuando estaba por terminarlo. Mi interés en la trama fue igual de creciente, con cada capítulo me iba metiendo más en lo que estaba pasando, cada vez me reía más con la comedia y sufría más con el drama. Además, Jun Matsumoto y Shun Oguri son todo lo que está bien en esta vida y nunca me voy a cansar de decirlo.

Algo que me gustó un montón es que varias de las problemáticas que se tocan dentro del programa no las había visto antes en otros shows de este tipo. Encima no me dio la impresión de que se exagerara con los conflictos, todos son bastante realistas (dentro de lo que podría esperarse). Y que la prota sea nieta del líder de una familia Yakuza (cosa que no había dicho), también me encantó, sobre todo porque su familia es una genialidad.

En definitiva, una serie que, aunque no se metió entre mis favoritas, se terminó ganando mi cariño. ¡Ahora quiero ver la segunda temporada!

Вот так по простому. И правильно - каждому поколению нужен свой учитель Онидзука На этот раз это молоденькая девушка Кумико, которые детишки ласково кличут Янкуми. Она не обижается, хотя дерется приотлично. И всё потому, что она - по происхождению - наследницей клана якудзы. Мелкого клана, но якудза есть якудза. И, конечно, ей приходится скрывать своё происхождение, потому что все же общество как то не очень допускает криминал в школу.

Мне вот интересно, почему показывают, что только выходцы из криминальной среды справятся с трудными подростками. Они так похожи по состоянию души? В Японии.
Но если серьезно, все сделано очень хорошо. Так же в наличии правильные слова и поступки. Легкий налет "бандитской романтики" не сильно бросается в глаза.Отдельное спасибо Накама Юкиэ, она молодец - справилась на отлично. Главный позитивчик сериала. Она смогла за секунду переключатся от наивной училки - до опасной женщины- якудзы, всего лишь распустив волосы и сняв очки. А уж как она втюрилась в полицейского (ё-моё, он мент!) и когда волновалась сыпала блатным жаргоном - это отдельная песня. Да и вообще, красивая женщина.

El mejor dorama escolar que haya existido.

Bueno, es maravillosa. La primer temporada es un lujo en todo sentido. Para alguien como yo, que desconocía la existencia del anime o del manga original de la obra, esto fue un hallazgo precioso. No sólo por sus actuaciones, o el hecho de que co-existieran en el mismo universo tantos Johnny's, si no porque cada capítulo da una enseñanza de vida excelente sobre la amistad, el honor y la justicia. Sin mencionar que tiene una de las mejores canciones de cierre que haya escuchado hasta hoy (y ya llevo 14 años de ver doramas). Todavía se me pone la piel de gallina cuando escucho el "I SAAAAAY", me encanta. Transmite toda la buena energía y alegría que en general logra la serie. Pero, además, nos deja un gancho que de haber continuado habría sido excelente (me refiero a Sawada). Matsumoto Jun como Sawada Shin es, sin duda, el mejor de los protagonistas de todas las temporadas, y tiene también la mejor escena de "descubrimiento" de las tres. Por otro lado, amo volver a ver a una Kumiko tan joven y el tanto el anteúltimo como el último capítulo me hicieron llorar fuerte. Recomiendo mucho verla aunque sea una vez en la vida (hasta le dediqué una entrada en mi blog).
