Alrighty, honestly, I thought that Dragon Zakura was a pretty good drama. Yet, again, there are similiarities from other dramas, but I never base my reviews on similarities with dramas that I've already watched. Dragon Zakura has an interesting beginning. It's just so much of a coincidence that something from the beginning of the drama is repeated at the end. It's testing your memory, so beware XD

As far as the development of the plot...I thought that a lot of problems that happened was pretty odd. I understand the poverty part. Tokyo University seem to be emphasized a lot in this drama. It teaches you a lesson, too. If you do not like society's rules, create your own laws [that are still justified and right in your opinion].

Yamapi is the main reason why I wanted to watch it, then Koike Teppei caught my eyes...and also, Saeko was really cute XDD I thought that the lawyer was enjoyable to watch~ I reccommend it! Well, to those that don't mind similiarities from other dramas and wants to watch something pretty touching.

Alrighty, I never saw Gokusen. The original/first drama.
Even if I did, I would never compare dramas. I know it's hard nowadays to create an original plot. Even I have trouble myself when I find myself trying to write fanfictions or just a story for my friends to enjoy reading.

I really like how the drama is really touching. I'm a sucker for emotional stuff, so bite me if you must. Despite the fact that yes, the fighting looks really fake, but you have to admit something about it. At least they tried to imitate it. I know if I was the actress, I would have messed up so badly, so you got to give them credit for trying that kind of stunt even if it looked fake.

And yes, I'm a sucker for dramas with some of my favorite actors or singers. I watched Dragon Zakura first out of everything that had to do with the same plot. Alright, lots of similiarities, but that does not matter to me. I watched dozens of dramas and read a lot of stories regarding this kind of plots. Gokusen 2 is really enjoyable if you watched it as the first time you've ever heard about this plot. I like how they show that women can be fighters, too, so don't misjudge her for a pretty girl <3

Overall, I have not watched the whole drama, but I still continue to finish watching this drama. It's just so tear-jerking to me. And Kame...he keeps getting beat up, but it's enjoyable to see that they don't live in this fantasy land with everything being all innocent and good. That's just not how reality is, and I like how they show different aspects of people that seemed to be bad.

I reccommend this series to those that would never compare it to another drama. It's really good if you just ignore facts that it is similar. So what? If you ignore those facts, you'll see it's really a good drama if you're into the emotional stuff.
