You've probably seen this type of story before.
This drama is quite entertaining, especially due to the charisma of its lead actor (Takashi Sorimachi). Overall, the story is predictable, following a typical structure: the newly arrived teacher with a different background and personality who disrupts the school's norms. The series follows a structure where the protagonist faces a challenge in each episode, stemming from the initial distrust of rebellious students and other teachers at the school where he teaches.
I haven't read the manga it's based on, so I can't compare the plot. However, it remains entertaining because the actors are good and perfectly fit the types of characters they were assigned. Plus, I believe this drama conveys very positive values regarding what the objectives of education should be, not just the academic aspect, but also the human aspect, resilience, empathy, camaraderie, and loyalty—aspects that are increasingly needed in our societies.
Furthermore, it's a series with some touches of comedy in a few subplots, but it never becomes excessive, which helps to highlight the show's attempt to emphasize the human values it wants to convey. I've already mentioned the actors, but they're all good, especially the protagonist, whom you want to succeed in his attempt to be a high school teacher and who wants the students to value themselves, even above their academic results. I also like the character of Fuyutsuki Azusa as a counterpoint to Onizuka.
Ultimately, I think it's a good series, although I wouldn't watch it again since there are several series and films with similar themes, and many more will continue to be released in the future.
