Such an awesome dorama. Worth watching. Sorta like the female version of GTO. Must say,Matsumoto Jun and Nakama Yukie are very talented, they know how to act. Lol,this is the dorama that made me fall for MatsuJun

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.

This is Japanese comedy at its best. Perfectly timed, nothing is wasted, brilliant casting.

I've only seen several of the episodes, but I thought ..err....I KNOW it's one of the best Jdoramas I'v ever seen! I may have very simliar plot with GTO, but what's more interesting than a yazuka teacher?!

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 live version shows promise after having watched 5 episodes but the anime is soooo much better. Though I understand why it would be far to expensive to make it as good as the anime I still feel that Nakama Yukie could have been more like the Yakusa princess that she is supposed to be.

I love this drama! Matsumoto Jun is so kakkoi in here^^ If you are looking for a light-hearted drama, this is the one for you. You can get the gist of what's going on even without subtitles. Highly recommend!

I thought that Taiyou no Kisetsu was the BEST Japanese drama I have ever watched, but I didn't know just how WRONG I was! This drama is WAY better, and much more exciting and bright! While Taiyou no kisetsu was a dark and moody drama, this was a bright and exciting drama!
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

doramafans · 18 May 2004

I love this drama, even i watch it again it's not boring to me. Yukie Nakama is a great actress and Matsumoto Jun is very sugoii as well as Oguri shun and others....but still curious bout Yumiko relationship, with whom?...And this dorama is very funny

Sohma Kisa · 11 Mar 2004

It's same GTO but I think this dramas is fun more than. Sawada nice...!?

mysticalgal84 · 18 Feb 2004

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.

My favorite dorama of all time. Yukie-san did a really good job as Yankumi, and MatsuJun fit into the role of Sawada perfectly...
