Gokusen (Season 2)
1.29.2007 8:28 AM \| Link	Since I've had so many things to watch lately, it's been a while since I took the time to enjoy a nice Japanese drama. Back in August, I was addicted to Gokusen Season 1, so I decided it was time to finally watch Gokusen Season 2! Most people seem to enjoy the second season more than the first, but it's not so clear-cut to me - I think both seasons are equally fantastic, but of course there's always something special about starting a show when you already know the established characters. Since most of the cast graduated from Yankumi's high school class in the last season, there's a new bunch of delinquents for her to tame (although Kuma from Season 1 shows up a lot, too). The hideous head teacher is back, but he's not the real enemy anymore - that job goes to the superintendent, who definitely makes you hate him with each evil smile! The series formula is pretty much the same, and Yankumi's fighting scenes are just as unconvincing, but the action doesn't really matter. The story still has the unbelievable power to twist your emotions around until you're forced to sit in front of the TV, laughing and crying, until Yankumi teaches these guys (and the audience) about life! I can always use some inspiring words about doing my best and living without regrets, and they might as well come from the beautiful Yankumi! Labels: jdrama
