Hammer Session! (2010)

[school dramas]

Teacher helps their students with their personal problems...RELIABLE TEACHER XD

Have a similar concept, about a male protagonist that goes to school to become a teacher, though the teacher in GTO is originally a yankee..

Both have very similar story; a teacher with a background. In Gokusen she's from yakuza family while in HS he's from jail. Both teachers solve their student's problems.

This drama is very similar to HAMMER SESSION since they both involve teachers, who solve the students' problems in unconventional ways.

It has , the same plot where there teacher has a hidden background , that helps troubled students that need help .

They , both have very similar pot. And are funny in there own ways .

Well,the whole idea of helping kids deal with their problems and whatnot is the same. They are also both lighthearted and serious at the same time. If u enjoyed one, you will definitely enjoy the other.

Both about the teacher changes their students' lives.

Both about a weird teacher coming to a school to teach with a different style than all the other norm teachers. HAMMER SESSION is about getting the students to an elite school while Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu is about keeping your good mark to get to your 1st choice school. In both dramas, the students learn to trust the teachers and learn a lot of moral lessons along the way.

Teachers that try to understand their students and help them resolve emotional issues and grow personally. Not very convenient methods. Hammer Session is better, IMHO... somehow hiring a convict as a teacher became less absurd when the masked-teachers-sanctioned-to-beat-up-students came into the picture.

teaching, studying, real-life lessons. informative, realistic, make senses in every episode/lesson. Awesome lead actor (teacher)

Both stories deal with teenagers, their problems with law and how they learn to trust people. Main characters are forced into dificult situations but they manage to escape it and gain trust from their friends. Besides, the leads in both dramas are cute)

The exact same concept for both dramas: a rough inexperienced teacher is taken in by the principal to change the hearts of the students and the school culture while having a past that most wouldn't agree with. That fits both perfectly.

Unconventional Teachers reforming delinquents with their unconventional methods in both dramas. One is from LGBT community and another is an ex convict

They are both about swindlers on the run, who eventually run into people who soften them and make them consider changing their lives. Hammer Session is way lighter feeling, and funnier than kurosagi which really lives up to its dark name.
