If you've watched the anime or read the manga version, then you owe yourself to watch this. The anime and manga pales in comparison to this show. 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.

Even though it's not as good as GTO it's still really good. It's stands on its own and should be watched!

Well i guess i am the only person that gives this a bad review? well i thought it was okay..everyday episode was teacher saving the student from something..it gets boring at one point then i try to fast forward it torwards a better part of the show. Characters are good, pretty funny at points, but too many boring parts

This was the first drama that I saw and it was truly amazing. Yukie Nakama was a great teacher as Yankumi and Matsumoto Jun was a kool student acting as Sawada Shin. The first time I saw this show I liked it alot. There were alot of great inspiring stories in this show and it is one of the best I think.

i really like it to watch

hahaha it is soo funny

rinarina · 28 Feb 2006

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.

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.

sugoi. kore ha saikou no dorama dayo...
matumoto jun sugokatta. such an awesome actor! x)))

Etsuko · 14 Jan 2006

Funny, serious, GREAT!!! My dream is to be a teacher, and preferably like one just like 'Yankumi'!

However, would a class like this really exist???

Shindou · 5 Jan 2006

Reminiscent of GTO, Yankumi is yet another unforgettable character as the homeroom teacher of 3D. Nakama Yukie is quite humourous in this series and eventually establishes her own character somewhat different from Onizuka as the series progresses. A great cast including Jun, Shun and Hiroki make this as fun a jdorama to watch as GTO.

SUPERCHICKEN · 5 Jan 2006

everything in this show adds up to make a GREAT jdorama. the the actors did a really good job and the story was good! no jdorama fan should ever miss GOUKUSEN.

Inai · 3 Jan 2006

rahci akumatsu · 2 Jan 2006

shirokin is a school exclusive for boys but.. the students are pretty scary.. because of a bad record.. especially theclass 3-D but they have a good heart and love each other.. especially their "friend".... Yamaguchi kumiko who's called "YAKUMI" by his students is the 4th Oedo generation.. she didn't took over the family business because she love her dream than became a teacher!! XD........ FIGHTO - OH!!

youhei_mito · 22 Dec 2005

this drama is fairly amusing, to say the least. o-o female-version of gto, except tat she has the background to back her up. however, that's where the strong points stop. the drama is entertaining in a sense, however it does not have a strong plot to pull through the whole series. overall, an ok so-so drama, especially if u're a fan of school-based dramas

Antique Pop · 2 Dec 2005

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.

I loved this drama, and I did not regret of buying it.
