Different plots on the whole, but I feel like both sort of tell the story of a person that was backed into a corner and how she tries to fight her way out. Also, both dramas deal with both very evil characters and those with shades of gray. Both are on the darker side (AM is Def darkerr) with specks of humor. Finally, both have story that really sucks you in.
The main similarity between both dramas is the main characters pretending to be someone they're not. In Angry Mom, a mom pretends to be a high-school student to protect her daughter. In High School King of Savvy is about a high-schooler pretending to be a successful CO.
Warning: Angry Mom is surprisingly a very serious story that doesn't shy away from bullying and child abuse. High School King of Savvy is a goofy comedy that is very weird but has a lot of charm with its characters... The atmosphere is very different but both stories do have a similar theme with the main characters.

There's no angry mom in Gokusen but there is some organized crime involved but more like Han Gong Ju-style, there is a righteous teacher, a stupid vice principal and unruly students, but also some rather preachy dialogues/monologues. Regardless, both are a fun watch with darker themes (Angry Mom is upfront with it, if not a bit gory at times while Gokusen is more careful, mostly if you care to think hard and long enough since Gokusen's premise relies more on comedy) as the students mature and grow through their actions.
