Misaki Number One!! (2011)

I liked Misaki Number 1! I thought it was charming and a cute twist on the bad / inexperienced teacher taking on troubled teens. Although it closely resembles Gokusen, Great Teacher Onizuka and other great dramas with the same plot, it had way better fashion and sincerity to it. I would not want to see a sequel for this drama because the story line wasn't deep enough to carry it a second season; and toward the 7th episode the storyline was tired.

There are no real plot surprises, there are no real twists and turns. This drama is not going to blow you away or make you cry;however it's fun it's light and its sparkly. If you've seen the other dramas like this you know what's going to happen and you know what the characters will do, but sometimes it's still fun to see the process.

P.s. Karina was really good in this role, but the other actors were plain awful.

Usually, just based on the description for this drama, I wouldn't have given this a chance. But I was coming off of watching Gokusen and wanted something similar to watch afterwards. This hit the spot perfectly.

Story: Just like Gokusen its a school drama and everything is centered around getting a class full of hooligans to graduate/clean up their act. The only real difference between the 2 dramas is that in Gokusen Yankumi is trying to hide her yakuza family ties and in Misaki Number One!! Misaki is trying to hide her past as a hostess. There are people from the club who rally around to help her when things get tough and her want to help her students is nothing short of cuteness!

Acting/Cast: This is a goofy, feel good show, so the acting isn't necessarily award-worthy, but solid. I liked everyone in their roles and believed them

Music: Good, not great.

Rewatch Value: If you're in the mood for an uplifting and light comedy that makes you feel all warm inside, then there is no limit to the amount of times you can watch this.

Overall: At 10 episodes at 45 minutes this is a perfect weekend drama that I often revisit when I want to cleanse my drama palate with something I know will not disappoint.

Misaki Number One was surprisingly good. Although the plot was short of predictable, it stuck with the original story about the teacher who tries to connect with her students, and it never went astray as to add a love story out of nowhere or something over the top dramatic, even though the ending was emotional.

So, one thing that I loved was the relationship between the teacher and her students. Also, I enjoyed the leading lady. As a character, she was adoralbe and easily lovable. And the actress suited the role, as she was pretty and dynamic.

However, the small stories centered mainly on the group of students that we watch in the first episode and it never really presents the whole class properly. And, some of them were just annoying.

So, six out of ten.

И чего меня занесло в эту дораму - ума не приложу. Наверное, неистребимая любовь к школьной тематике. Молодая учительница и куча непослушных учеников обоего пола и разной красоты - неиссякаемый источник вдохновения на долгие и долгие дорамы. Иногда это срабатывает, иногда нет.
Тут главная героиня была не из гангстеров, как из "Гокусенов", а из хосстес, что тоже слегка за чертой в Японии. Как говорят, и с ними никак и без них скучно. Ну так вот, поработала она поработала и решила сменить профессию - стала учительницей. С вытекающими последствиями в виде красивой внешности и упаковки и замалчивания своей биографии от всех. Конечно, биография еще та и долго скрываться не захотела, посему уже в первых паре серий почти всем стала известна. Ну, а дальше по шаблону - трудные подростки, драки, траблы с родителями, влюбленности, определение будущей жизни и т.д. и т.п. и тому подобное. По сюжетно - скучно, но где то в середине дорамки я поняла, что что-то все ж в ней меня привлекает. Народ играл хороший. Не по отдельности, а вот в целом, все сразу.
А еще я стала смотреть, ибо хотела увидеть такую звезду (а ведь она звезда? да?) Карину. Честно говоря, внешне она меня совсем не впечатлила, лицом слегка в сторону европейского типажа оказалось и как-то никак, но потом впечатление в целом улучшилось и стало благоприятным.
