Entertaining although a total GTO rip off ... with 2 downsides, Kaba-chan and the worst, Inoue Waka instead of Matsushima Nanako . I can understand the poor ratings, it has nothing to do with it being a high school dorama (Dragon Zakura and Nobuta went really well). It lacks more originality and a better cast.

Oh my God. It's true!! It's a total GTO rip off, pakuri!! <___< So disappointing =__=
No wonder why the ratings were quite low,,, I suggest trying "Kami wa saikoro wo furanai" instead, it's a different genre, but it's really good!! (At least the first episode )
...and by the way, Takashi Sorimachi (GTO) is the best

I don't think it's fair to say it's a direct rip off from GTO
Gokusen is similar too, but it was still popular.
There is only so much theme you can have to a high school drama.
Sports, Romance, Teacher vs student.
the other drama that was on at the same time, didn't have a much higher rating also. And it has a much stronger cast. Therefore I'm hoping that next week the rating would go up.

Just finished watching the first episode, and like cereza, i also don't think it's fair to say it's a GTO rip-off. I thought it was pretty good, considering how many J-dramas have been done in a high school settings. Although, i don't think it is as good as GTO and Gokusen. Those two would be very hard to beat.

I was also surprised by Tegoshi's character, i think he did a really good job so far! I think what was happening with the whole pool thing was that he was really good at swimming, but then he broke his shoulder (?) so couldnt swim anymore. So sad T.T. Yuuya-kun was crying!

I watched half of eps 1 and then fastforwarded to the end. GTO was the first that came in mind and then I was thinking GTO mixed with Gokusen, Tegoshi's character reminds me of Jun's in the first Gokusen while the girl who lured the teacher to karaoke is a direct rip from GTO. The teacher is so unconvincing. This drama really lack originality as somebody mentioned earlier.........although Tegoshi looks quite cute in this drama.

somehow very disappointed with this drama. The acting by the cast are fine but the script is totally unoriginal. The characters and theme are not well developed and after watching the first episode, the "problematic " class 3E does not seem problematic at all to me .Only Tomoka, Tegoshi and masuda left me any impression and virtually all the remaining students are just shadows behind them.
The theme of the first episode is also not clear with too many ripped off ideas from other drama. The rape setup idea is recycled from GTO , the potential love triangle is similar to Nobuta ( 2 good looking guys from Johnny + 1 girl ) while Takahashi attempts to get Tegoshi to school is just too familar. I agree that it is not wrong to recycle some old ideas but it must at least be convincing. For example the rape setup is just meaningless - after the setup I expected more to happen but suddenly the drama change its direction to Tegoshi's part -> the school didn't pursue, Takahashi didn't care much, the girl just gave up pursuing Takahashi to quit immediately the next day after Takahashi said he wanted to marry her. This made me wonder why the rape setup is put inside the script in the first place .
Takahashi , Tegoshi , Tomoka all did well for their part but sadly the script is bad in the first place( probably TBS had already spent most its budget in Byakuyakou and Rondo)

I think Gachi means school? (<--not sure, think it's slang)
and baka means idiot, stupid...along the lines of that, different people have different ways of interpreting it~
EDIT: sorry for posting the wrong meaning...haha, i'm gonna work on my japanese...
