One Pound Gospel is such a fun story. It makes you feel better whenever you watch it. The great thing about it is that it's not only funny, it also has it's hard moments, romantic moments, and what I find one of the most important things, it makes you really energetic and willing to sport! Kazuya/Kosaku is so enthousiastic that you cannot help but love him, and the rest of the cast is fantastic and you'll love them all right away.
This Drama is based off of Princess Princess, which, as an Anime, I really enjoyed. Sadly, the story of Princess Princess D isn't all that enjoyable. For one, it seems as though the budget for this Drama was really, really low. There are some good actors in it, but when there is supposed to be a crowd you only see about three people at a time, you never see any impressive overviews of crowds or buildings and the lighting is quite bad. There are a lot of scenes which don't make any sense (a lot of random dancing, for example) and the story makes strange and shaky progress. All in all I'd say the Drama, especially if you've either seen the Anime of Princess Princess or read the Manga, or both, is very disappointing.
This drama is a lot of fun to watch. The acting is superb and you immediately grow to love the entire cast. The most special thing about Gokusen is that, even if it's about a teacher and a class, almost every student of 3D has their fair share of on-screen action. Yankumi's speeches tend to get a bit repetitive at times, which of course is no problem when you watch one episode every week, but is something you might get annoyed by when watching more than three episodes in one day. All in all, it's a very enjoyable drama!
