Timeless classic that i can always come back to

I remember watching this show ages ago, maybe like 15 years ago or something. It popped back on my radar recently. I rewatched the show because it I remembered that it was funny with silly moments, and ofc the heartwarming moments of her getting to really know the students. Its a lot of older jokes that don't land the same, since nowadays its a bit more cliche. But the action comedy part of her being yakuza and also a teacher just makes the entire show funny. You can tell that she really want this but her quicks of how she grew up makes the teaching part much more difficult.
It's a light drama for the most part, its easy to get through and be immersed in, as its got this "we are human, we make mistakes, its okay".
This is really a show that doesn't take itself too seriously but still somewhat serious. You have your silly moments - but you also have your heartwarming and moving moments.
If you want to watch this just keep in mind that this is an old show. So a lot might feel cliche and the archetypes that they play are overused, but this is a timeless classic.
