[edit]Synopsis

The drama series is based on the manga and anime of the same name, both created by Fujisawa Tohru. The story is a sequel of lesser known series Shounan Jun'ai-gumi (Shounan Love Gang) where Onizuka Eikichi's rogue high school days are depicted. Sorimachi Takashi plays Onizuka Eikichi, a graduate of a third-rate University and the leader of a motorcycle gang, whose lifelong dream is to become a teacher. After being hired by a seemingly eccentric director, Onizuka begins his unconventional way of teaching a hopeless group of troublemakers. Although he meets much opposition from the students and teachers themselves, his passion for teaching, and more importantly, his students, eventually convinces everyone that Onizuka truly has the makings of a great teacher.

    IT was an AMAZING!! drama to watch . The bond that is created by got and his students is just , amazing . No matter , what challenge might come in his way , he will overcome it because he is The Great Teacher Onizuka . Overall, it was a funny and at the same time a serious drama show to watch ... After each episode I was waiting to find out what surprises were in the next one . I just wish they make a second season to this.

    This is a great drama!!!! I have already read the original manga and I'm pretty pleased. The acting is superb as well. You Must watch this!!! It made me laugh, cry and inspired me as well. There were many life lessons and I wished that I had a teacher like Onizuka as well.



    Anyway, this drama is not one to miss!!!!

    I had heard great things about this drama and I confirm after watching it that it is a lovely story with a great cast. Even if it was released in 1998 it is still a very contemporary and believable story. It was the first time that I see a drama with Sorimachi Takashi and he is truly wonderful in this main role.
