  I liked Misaki Number 1! I thought it was charming and a cute twist on the bad / inexperienced teacher taking on troubled teens. Although it closely resembles Gokusen, Great Teacher Onizuka and other great dramas with the same plot, it had way better fashion and sincerity to it. I would not want to see a sequel for this drama because the story line wasn't deep enough to carry it a second season; and toward the 7th episode the storyline was tired.
  
  There are no real plot surprises, there are no real twists and turns. This drama is not going to blow you away or make you cry;however it's fun it's light and its sparkly. If you've seen the other dramas like this you know what's going to happen and you know what the characters will do, but sometimes it's still fun to see the process.
  
  P.s. Karina was really good in this role, but the other actors were plain awful.

  The instructive drama. The all japanese, moral dramas are similar - guide and students. Though, everything is totally schematic, I've not been bored yet. Maybe, Misaki talks too much, but I love Karina, so I don't complain.
  
  To be fair, I would like to see all Kis-My-Ft2 there. I don't know why, but since I saw ujigaya Taisuke and Kitayama Hiromits, I've though they would be great here.
  
  However, my favourite character is the headmistress and a guy, who always stays behind her. The best couple! I love their facial expressions and gestures.

  it's the same plot, about students troublemakers whose nobody listen. And about one woman from totally different backround who wants to get them on right way of life as their teacher. And Johnny's boys act here too.

  • Both dramas are about teachers from unusual backgrounds teaching a group of kids who are "inadequate".

  HAMMER SESSION!

  The exact same concept for both dramas: a rough inexperienced teacher is taken in by the principal to change the hearts of the students and the school culture while having a past that most wouldn't agree with. That fits both perfectly.
