First of all I was really surprised about how graphic this drama is. I have never seen that before and am wondering if they weren't that strict back when this was airing. ;) The acting was really great and it looked natural and believable. The characters were likeable and realistic, at least most of them. There were some things that I couldn't agree with (for example what Onizuka's police officer-friend was doing all the time), but they didn't matter that much. I like how the story was going slowly, but the character development was really fast and how beautifully the friendship and relationship between Onizuka, the students and Fuyutsuki was portrayed. I also liked that all the characters had their own background story so you could feel with them. I agree with this being a must-see. You hardly notice that it's an old drama and when you occasionally DO notice it's pretty funny. ;)
