I never thought that i would watch something like this. Romance is the only thing for me! But somehow i liked the storyline so i wanted to give it a try. Probably because i'm also senior in high school and my graduation is in a month. I watched first 10 minutes of all gokusen and liked this one the best so i kept watching this one. (should have started the first one) I liked the story really much. It was funny and yet realistic. The teacher was inspiring and her teachings were so good. You can see how the students grow during the drama. Everyone's character was good and you really get to know them. The fighting wasn't that great (although Yankumi was so cool everytime) but that wasn't the main point. Everyone did really good job. I haven't seen Nakama Yukie playing anything else but she was really good. All the main students were also good. Kamenashi Kazuya played pretty different role than i'm use to but he did also really well. Koike Teppei was so cute and charming! And Hayami Mokomichi was very cool. One of my favorites was Namase Katsuhisa who played Sawatari Goro. He was so funny and i can't believe his face! (You'll understand ones you've watched his playing) I liked the mucis. It didn't had that big role but in some places it was really good. Plus the ending song was good. I started this drama today and i'm already finished. I think that tells what i think about this drama. It was so absorbing! I think i will some day watch this again. This drama didn't have romance nor big plot twists but it was fun to watch it. I recommend this to everyone who likes watch funny school dramas. It's also a story about growing up and decide what to do with your life. I think every high school student who is thinking about their future or school should watch this. It doesn't give answers but it will put you think about stuff... You can be sure that now i'll watch the first Gokusen and then the third one. Plus all the specials and movie :)
