This is probably one of the best dramas ever! At first the storyline sounded weird and childish (a girl dresses as a guy in all-male-school, please!) but after two episodes i take my words back. It was hilarious and yet somehow touching. Every minute was exciting and some parts i had to watch twice even tree times :)
The actors were incredible! They are cute and hot. One of my favorites was the dorm leader Nanba Minami (played by Mizushima Hiro). Horikita Maki was ones again great in the leading role. And Ikuta Toma was so good and funny. Every character was carefully planed and all actors did really good job.
I haven't read the manga and i probably won't, because i loved this drama and this is enough :)
One minus was the music. Well there wasn't it. Music had such a small part, which is kind of sad because japanese music is really good (not just j-pop). But on the other hand the silence was better choise.
Anyone who has any doubts about this drama, i recommend this to all of you who want to laugh out loud (and wathc some really hot guys :D). This really was extremely magnificent drama.

I liked the story really much. It was funny and yet realistic. The teacher was inspiring and her teachings were so good. You can see how the students grow during the drama. Everyone's character was good and you really get to know them. The fighting wasn't that great (although Yankumi was so cool everytime) but that wasn't the main point.
Everyone did really good job. I haven't seen Nakama Yukie playing anything else but she was really good. All the main students were also good. Kamenashi Kazuya played pretty different role than i'm use to but he did also really well. Koike Teppei was so cute and charming! And Hayami Mokomichi was very cool. One of my favorites was Namase Katsuhisa who played Sawatari Goro. He was so funny and i can't believe his face! (You'll understand ones you've watched his playing)
I liked the mucis. It didn't had that big role but in some places it was really good. Plus the ending song was good.
I started this drama today and i'm already finished. I think that tells what i think about this drama. It was so absorbing! I think i will some day watch this again. This drama didn't have romance nor big plot twists but it was fun to watch it.
I recommend this to everyone who likes watch funny school dramas. It's also a story about growing up and decide what to do with your life. I think every high school student who is thinking about their future or school should watch this. It doesn't give answers but it will put you think about stuff...
You can be sure that now i'll watch the first Gokusen and then the third one. Plus all the specials and movie :)

I think that the actors did pretty good job. Well the main actors weren't that good, but all the supporting actors were incredible and so funny. The best was Kang Min Hyuk who played the drummer Yeo Joon Hee. He was so cute and funny. And Woo Ri acted realistically the anorexia girl.
And what else can you expect from music, when the main actors are Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa. I'm still not that familiar with korean music, but i'm really starting to like it. But the traditional music was somehow odd...
The ending left few question without answers and i think they could have done one more episode and explain some matters.
Anyway i liked this show. It wasn't perfect, but i would recommend this to all of you who like pretty cheesy romance with some plot twist. If you like action and surprises, this isn't your drama.
