When I first saw the synopsis and the first 5-10 minutes of it, I thought it was going to be more of a comedy oriented drama. To my complete surprise it was very serious and rather dark. Unlike many other dramas that start out slow, the story was rather fast pace and got straight to the point by the second episode. Yet it never slows down and the plot keeps evolving. The ending is also rather touching and kinda sad. After watching Uchiyama Rina play such a magnificent roll in S.O.S., I was a bit disappointed with her role in Good Luck. However, in Seito Shokun, Rina really shines in a rare leading roll for her as a dedicated and caring teacher of a troublesome class. She also showed some pretty good basketball skills to. There's a few minor mishaps. Some of the background music doesn't really fit the dark tone of the drama, although the outro song "My Generation" is awesome. The Julia-Kohei relationship wasn't utilized to its full potential and it was a bit dissapointing that they didn't advance it further than they did. Also a couple of the students overacted at times, but it's understandable when you have to cast over 50 students. It's also redeemable since all of the main characters acted out their parts really well. Overall, I think the story and the characters are all really great. I have to say this is the kind of drama I've been waiting for.

First of all, this is closely related to GTO not Gokusen and because the teacher wasn't a former gang member nor a yakuza, there were less violence but, there were many incidents of bullying. Still, the main plot is about a passionate teacher being hired to be the homeroom teacher of a so-called gproblematic classh and she tries so hard to be accepted and trusted by the students. I guess the only thing that sets this apart from other school dramas is the fact that the *entire class* had experienced a terrible incident before the story took place which prevents them from not opening-up and trusting adults ever again. And so, after things settled down, it all comes down to a certain student which has the biggest grudge because of the things experienced since childhood. And as for the ending, it was practically the same with the 2 dramas mentioned above, nothing new at all. But I must say that I really liked YUIfs song. gMy Generation.h

A teacher in a class who do not live in hope: that sounds after a long fight!
A series of conflicts between students and teachers! You can say it has not particularly well off the series, but in between it can calmly look!
weeee... horikita maki!

Another good drama since GTO and Gokusen!!!!!! Some scenes were very touching!!!I never thought that Uchiyama Rina could act so well as a teacher. Before that I only watched her in Strawberry on the Shortcake and Moto Kare and thought that her acting was not that good but in this drama she improved a lot!!!!!Horikita Maki oso performed very well.......
