it's really great.. i thought.. so much of a higher calibre than GTO.. at least now you have students who can act and are funny to boot.. nakama yukie was very successful as yankumi.. and it seems like all due to this drama she has gone to greater heights in japan.. matsumoto jun is convincing as shin.. as i watched the drama.. i cannot help hoping matsujun would one day tell yankumi about his feelings for her.. :) the other guys are good too.. and they complement shin to like form a group of five guys with wierd appearances but kind hearts.. best drama i've watched for since a long time.. simply cannot forget the plot.. |

| 13. | Too self righteous for a start. [Rating: 8/10]
maybe it was because of all the good reviews, that I was really excited to watch the drama. After the first five minutes, I was stunned. Her intended introduction to the school was so self righteous and so naive, that I felt that if I were a student in the school, I would just roll my eyes and dismiss her as a fake. In the first three episodes, she had such a self righteous air about her, that matsumoto Jun always had to step in and explain things to her. HOwever, as the show progressed, the show got better, the 'cool' unity of the class was very funny to watch, and so were the teachers and Nakama's very obvious crush on Sawamura Ikki. Overall, I gave the drama 8 out of 10. Minus two for the irritating self righteous personality at the beginning and the very clique stunts. |

The best I love about this series is Yukie Nakama and Jun Matsumoto! I wish they were a couple in this series, but that was impossible cuz Yukie was Jun's teacher, it's not a good idea for a teacher to date her student...unless they truly love each other...which they were NOT! So yeah...disappointing for me...but I still think they make a cute couple! =D |

After having to wait over a few months just to only watch up to episode 5 of Gokusen subbed in English, I finally found the entire version in Chinese. And after completing it (I was in a two-day marathon), I found myself absolutely loving it!!!! It's one of the best series and one of my all time favorites! It's one series that I consistently find myself watching over and over again (without getting bored of it). Nakama Yukie does such an impressive job as Yamaguchi Kumiko, very similar to the character in the anime series. And I found myself falling in love with Matsumoto Jun (Sawada Shin). The rest of the class is just as memorable and likeable.
Even though there are more exaggerated scenes in comparison to a regular JDorama, I found myself laughing so much. Each episode was just so much fun to watch. I didn't want this series to end. Luckily, there is a "Gokusen 2" now. |

This serie is simply awesome! "Yankumi" does a great job. I like how they made her this very strong person who also has some faults like her naivety in certain matters, but keeps her spirit.
The series has a superb cast. Sawada is very enigmatic, the had-teacher someone you love to hate, the yakuza are funny and the kids in her class have realistic problems that they won't always react to in the way that is expected for them. They are not just misunderstood kids, but do quite bad stuff from time to time.
Also nice additions to the cast are the policeman, the nurse and the other female teacher. It makes it that Yankumi is not just interacting with her class but deals with people her age as well. |

| 32. | Goes beyond the GTO comparisons... [Rating: 8/10]
The show is very much GTO in so many ways its not funny, but the diferences are noticable as well. The drama follows essentially 40-50 characters maybe. GTO was about GTO, Gokusen was about everyone, her students, her family, the faculty, and the police officer love interests, all the characters are dynamic but not believable, which helps lend to the shows strong sense of humor. Humor IS the one thing the show has going for it, the jokes are funny, and they are pulled of well, there is chemistry from everyone even between those who receive the weaker lines. The show is best taken in as a whole, it is unwise to make judgements until the end of the special. Yukie Nakama is very much the star and I would probably watch Gokusen 2 only for that characther, though the show in the end is just slightly above your average disposable feel-good fluff. It is fluffy, but I have to admit, good fluff. |

I enjoyed Gokusen from start to finish. I never found myself smiling at the computer screen as often I did while watching this. Nakama Yukie was wonderful as Yankumi, and Matsumoto Jun was also great as Sawada Shin. ALL of the characters were memorable, and I loved the unity and loyalty of Sawada and his friends and the rest of 3-D. I could go on forever listing all the great things about this drama, but I have to stop somewhere. I'll say one last thing -- GTO ain't got nothing on Gokusen. |

Just a note that this is 12 episodes + a special. I also like when they are having the welcome party in ep1 that sawatari (head-teacher) calls yankumi yamada sensei referring back to when they were back in Trick together, nice touch that. If you liked this then you must watch Trick, the chemistry and comedy is far beyond what this has (and that's saying something) |

From NTV comes another teacher genre show, Gokusen puts a new twist to the original Kinpachi-character, having Yukie Nakama playing the heiress to a powerful yakuza family whose life ambition is to become a teacher like her father.
Here we are treated to the comic talent of the beautiful Yukie Nakama as the goofy but dedicated first-time high school Yankumi (a nickname given by her student). Its inevitable in watching this show, you would start falling to the charms of the delectable Yankumi, as she goofs up trying to hide her sometimes overly fierce yakuza persona from the school or going all out to to save and understand her student. She is at the same time cute , funny, beautiful and caring. In the words of the school's principal: "she is someone who can really bring about some good to the school"
But what is such show without the students. The "problem" pack, lead by Matsumoto Jun, is a gang of misfits who has no interest in school and constantly gets into the trouble. They areof course not really rotten in a core just misguided and as the show proceed, you realize each of them are just simple boys hiding in their tough exteriors. The boys put in a good performance and handle their part well alongside Yukie Nakama.
The fine performance and good scripting means that this show will definitely tugged your heartstrings as the show winds down to the grand finale. Really makes one wish for a good teacher in the like of Yankumi. yosh! |

This drama got me hooked until the end, and no parts were dragging in my case. The story is not entirely original, and the stories in the manga were still better in my opinion (it was like a whole new story; they just kept the basic theme and the characters). But, the drama was still as enjoyable.
The acting, I think, was quite good. Nakama Yukie's performance as Yankumi was funny, and I loved her in this drama. :) My favorite actor in this one is Oguri Shun. The difference of his role as Uchiyama and his role in GTO as Noburu is quite huge, and it's interesting to see him act as the bully this time around. Narimiya Hiroki was good, even though this was his first big role. Matsumoto Jun was absolutely pretty as Sawada. Overall, he didn't give off the impression that manga-Shin made on me, but he was still cool.

Outstanding acting by Nakama Yukie. I have not seen her doramas until this one and I became a fan of her after finishing this Dorama.
The student cast has actors who can act. Sawada Shin is surprisingly cool and is suitable for his role. Aside from some of the superfluous one-dimensional male teachers in this drama, most of the supporting class is strong.
Like GTO, the plot is basically formed from merging the different subplots of the problems and troubles faced by the students and some of Nakama's colleagues. The story can be predictable at times, but the ideas and lessons that Yankumi delivers after the different scenes in which Yankumi comes to the rescue after her students beat up someone (or get beaten up) are quite touching. In the end Yukie delivers a lesson on what being a "nakama" (or friend) is about, and I think I learned much from that.
Overall, a refreshing drama. 10 for the acting. Some marks off for those annoying male teachers. But a recommended dorama for sure. |

It's really funny drama, saw Yukie acted so hars and impolite (not her style) is really a new thing. This is a funny, touched drama (I cried when Kuma's dad died).
The soundtrack also nice, but I probably won't watch the sequel, because the love story was missing in this drama and maybe in the sequel too (Yukie liked somebody) Yup she was but at the end she's ended with nobody. TOO BAD. I think GTO is the only teacher-student's drama which has a love story (onizuka ended with his beloved), Naomi (cast. Fujiwara norika) also didn't have a love story and guess what? Yup that is a teacher-student's drama. |

I actually fell off my chair from laughing while watching this drama. Its THAT good. Yukie Nakama is absolutely funny and every episode makes you want to watch more. Watch it NOW. |

I like this drama... It is so funny and enjoyable especially Yankumi. She try hard to be 3D teacher though she did not look like a teacher... Well, What I want to say is that this drama is worth of watching. Anyway, I am curious Yankumi will choose who to be his lover. At the end of the series, you can see that there are 4 people like her. One of them are Sawada Shin. Haha... Maybe only Yankumi know. |

It's soo funny I love the way the story goes funny but not to the point that it's super idiotic . The cast are perfect for their roles. Though I think there should be more shots of Kumiko's somewhat disfunctional type of family. But all in all its still a great laugh and a great way to learn your values. |

I loved the whole series it was so interesting. I liked the actress who played "Yankumi" because she was the perfect person to play the part. When I finished watching theis season I was so upset because I had no idea there was a second season. The reason I voted it a 9 instead of a tenparts seemed a little too fake for me but... I still loved it considering it was like my first jdrama in a really long time. |

| 89. | More violence perhaps? [Rating: 6/10]
I guess the high ratings are understandable. The story really was entertaining.
However, personally I thought it was a bit lacking. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it enough that I finished all 12 episodes in a week. But I found it too idealistic maybe? Sometimes Yankumi really pissed me off. We all know that in real life, problems cannot be settled with just a fight and good long lectures. If it was so, it'd be a breeze, ne?
So in that respect, I found some of the more intense episodes tiresome to watch. Also, I was expecting much more violence; such as that of the manga! I'm a big fan of mob movies, so when I found out she was of yakuza descent, I was hoping that the family business would at least be more pronounced even if it's just a side dish. Instead, we have yakuza members selling takoyaki, and we don't find out anything else. That disappointed me severely.
The actors were brilliant in their stead though, especially Yukie, so the show carries a charisma that is hard to ignore. It's passable in my books. |

| 90. | Incredibly Cheesy GTO Clone [Rating: 5/10]
The show mixes things up with the Yakuza family aspect and has some funny moments. However the drama is mukkied up by too much excessive sentimental junk that serves no real purpose. The worst parts are the fight scenes that are rediculously campy where they're trying to portray her as this super heroine..... In the end the show fails in so many aspects in comparison to GTO that I found it rather dissapointing. This has got to be one of the most overrated Jdramas out there. I did enjoy watching it through, however the current placement under GTO on ratings is disgusting really. |

i must say, lilke alot of others, when i first saw the synopsis of this drama, i was thinking "this is going to be like GTO, gangster-like teacher with delinquent students but eventually she wins them over". however, i soon found out that while it on the surface reminded me of it, this is by no means a GTO-esque drama. much like sorimachi eikichi seemed to perfectly epitomize his role as onizuka, so did yukie nakama play her role brilliantly. playing a teacher trying to hide her yakuza background with a cutesy exterior, she showed it to perfection. i really felt i could follow the story and it took the story beyond what onizuka had accomplished. with GTO it is a feel good with a teacher being able to connect with students who trust noone, however with gokusen, not only does she create the connection, it does not end there, she even brings out the best in her students leading them to the ultimate reward for a teacher, taking her delinquent students that noone believed in, and bringing them to the graduation stage, showing a disbelieving body that yes her students were capable of graduating too. it had it's moments, and seeing her students respond to her was hearfelt, her neverending trust breaking the tough exterior to reveal a heart of gold not only in the teacher, but in the students
to sum up, this drama went beyond where i thought it would, and it is only my belief that nothing is perfect that i gave it a 9, but in actuality this deserves a 9.99999999, not a 10 for nothing is perfect, but damn close to it |

Everything aligns near-perfectly to make for a spirited comedy-drama in the spirit of GTO. The plot isn't completely unfamiliar: a high school teacher also happens to be the next in line to succeed a yakuza family.
What really makes it special is the cast. This series is packed with top talent, and the script is crisp and energetic. With GTO and Shomuni, one of my all-time favorites. |

Has no one noticed this? There isn't much to a storyline for this series. It's quite overrated and too similar to GTO.
Each episode begins with a student having a problem(usually with another group of punk kids), teachers don't believe the student and tries to expels them, YanKumi defends them is is doubted. Her grandfather gives her some random advise that seems to answer her doubts and another student comes to her and tells her that the student with the problem is getting beat up.
YanKumi goes and fights off(horrible fighting by the way) random punk kids attacking her student, student starts to "believe" in her and goes her posse of followers.
Other than the crappy storyline, awesome acting for Oguri & Matsumoto. |
