An enternal love it was
Just a quick review of watching this drama. I thought it was very good but not like the best ever. I liked the drama but didn't love it.Story: Theres like 3 arcs you can say in this drama that involves the story of the romance between the main couple. I enjoyed the first arc and then the final one but I got bored during the second one. I didn't enjoy Susu because she is the type of character where they have no memories of their past, this I don't like. I must say that at first I was pulling for Mo Yuan and Qian Qian but later on Ye Hua won me over as the drama went. I have to say I did enjoy most of the love story between the 2. But here's the problem for me, I didn't care for the second couple of this drama. I wasn't into it as most people were. After the 2 leads I had a hard time enjoying any characters outside of them except for thier kid, Yan Zhi, and Li Jing of the ghost tribe. I really thought they should have focused more of Yan Zhi than Qian Qian's niece.
Acting/Cast: I think the 2 leads played their parts to the best. I enjoyed the kid who played the son of the couple. Then I adore the actress who played Yan Zhi (she deserves more work) and Li Jing who has become a new actor that I have started to like. I couldn't care for anyone else.
Music: This is the most important part of the drama. I happened to find out the ending song called bracing the chill in a youtube video of best chinese drama osts. I really enjoyed this song and found this drama leading me to watch it. The song is very good for the tone of the drama. The other soundtracks in this drama are quite good too.
Rewatch: The middle part of the drama was difficult for me to watch because I didn't enjoy it. Also some episodes at the end were too happy mood that they drag as well. I was waiting for the climax but it was taking a while. I would only watch some of the episodes again one in particular was my favorite episode. I believe this episode has the most viewed of any episode on youtube.
Overall: A very good drama but not the best ever.

Story- I think it was an interesting story about Onizuka returning to the school he graduated from to be a teacher there. I enjoyed learning about Onizuka's past and why he became a teacher. I loved where this new school was located, it felt like a different atmosphere to the drama. There were some students problems I didn't enjoy at all but there were 2 of the student's problems story I did enjoy and that was Taichi and Serizawa. I felt like the episodes at the end were in the wrong order. I would of prefer ep 10 to be the finale instead of ep 11 but with more details. Episode 1 could have been better it should have been something special to start it off.
Cast/Characters- There weren't many memorable characters for this one. Some of the students looked like each other which made it hard to remember who is who. I wished they had the students hang out with Onizuka more often because after he makes them a better person they just fade into the background with no lines. Principal Uchiyamada was brought back for this season and I felt was not needed at all. His story was the same in both previous series which felt boring. Director Sakurai returning for this season was great, her roles as the director and lunch lady didn't bother me, in fact, she was a key role to help Onizuka be the person he once was. Now to Fujikawa sensei played by Higa Manami, she reminded me of a mix of Fuyutsuki sensei in the 1998 and 2012 version. Fujikawa didn't have the passion to teach but in the end became a better teacher. She had a similar story to the 2012 Fuyutsuki as well. But Fujikawa had something later on that tied her with Onizuka. To me, I would prefer a different actor to play this role.
Music- In this season they had this wonderful music playing in the background. It's hard to find online but its called "A calling". It just reminded me of the one in the 1998 GTO. The ending song is ok I guess.
Rewatch?- I would rewatch this one more because it's new and fresh. It was better than trying to remake something that was already perfect. New characters, some old characters, and Onizuka's past make this one interesting.
Overall- Looking back at this one I felt that Onizuka was different than usual but in a good way. At least The new students were better than watching my favorite students in the 1998 version be watered down in the 2012 version.

Story: The story is very good and simple. 4 heroes( 3 guys and 1 girl) help the poor people and their problems caused by high class rank people . This type of plot where the main actors are the good and have to fight evil will always be a favorite. I loved how each character was different so you could tell who is who and they all stand out. It was so hard to pick which one you loved the best but I just loved all 4 of them. Lots of challenges for them to overcome especially for Li Ge Xiao .
Acting/Cast: I think the choices for each role was well done. I don't think anyone else would have made the drama better than this cast. I love the chemistry between Wallace Huo and Liu ShiShi. Xing Yu as Chai Hu was just wonderful to watch his comedy mixed with his fighting was fun.
Music: I don't think its well known but the music is not a problem. The opening is good, it gives you a good feeling to get ready to kick ass. The ending song is much different more of a soft tone, quiet, or sad/love song. In the end I liked the music in this drama.
Rewatch Value: 30 episodes seems about right if the drama is gonna be long. I would love to watch it all over again.
Overall: If your new to Chinese dramas, then I suggest this to be your first one to watch. I really think more people should watch it.
