Gokusen 1

Story:
Yet another tale of a Yakuza/ gang member going to school in secret… You’d think that school was the last place drop-outs would  want to go back to. Then again, Yankumi isn’t a drop-out; just her family.
The drama will remind you of GTO, but thankfully it stands on it’s own. Each episode follows pretty much the same format, so it can get boring at times, however the comedy aspect of the drama was done very well. If the drama wasn’t funny then I wouldn’t have given it more than 5 stars.

Acting:
Nakama Yukie did a FANTASTIC job on her character! There’s no doubt that she practically carries the whole drama on her shoulders, and successfully too! The supporting cast did a great job too, but Nakama was just in a league of her own.  No one can compare to her awesome-ness!

Music:
Matched well with the comic theme. You’ll notice specific characters have their own tunes, which was cute .

Satisfaction:
If you’re looking for a laugh and something mindless then go to school (oxymoron!) with Gokusen. You’ll find plenty here.

Couple of Fantasy

Story:
Absolutely hilarious! The drama might be slow at times, but I thought the pace was generally okay. It gave the story a more realistic feeling, as if you were witnessing each day of their live. They even parody Automn Tale, which is something to watch for.

Acting:
Lead actress was WOW! Her lines coupled with the Ye Seul’s perfect comic timing made her scenes the most enjoyable. I cannot imagine another actress taking on the role of Na Sang Shil! The supporting cast was really good too especially the actress playing Na Jang.

Ooooo! And look for those cute little kids who play the brothers. So adorable ^.^
Music:
At first I found the background sounds a little weird, but after a few episodes you get used to it and sometimes I even laughed because of it!

Satisfaction:
Overall the drama was really good. It’s the best k-drama I’ve seen so far. Might’ve been better if they’d made it a little more concise. Fourteen episodes might’ve made it better. Still good though and I highly recommend it!

14-sai no Haha

Story:
Unorthodox plot for sure that explores some of the consequences of being a teen mother.

The reporter in the drama was really annoying. It made the drama feel unreal at times. Other than that the scenes involving the family members were the most touching.

Acting:
Shida Mirai was spectacular in her role and I thought she far outperformed her older colleagues. The actors in her “family” were great too particularly lil Kenta. The boy (kiri-chan) wasn’t good though. A bit too stiff for me.

Overall:
It was a nice drama to sit through since it was different from the usual fare. I thought it could’ve been a lot edgier though considering the subject matter.
