~ Dragon Zakura (2005) ~

"Dragon Zakura" ada jugak aku terjumpa dorang tulis "Dragon Sakura". Aku rasa sama je kot mana-mana pun. Yang penting Jdrama nie memang layan habis hahaha! Rating untuk Jdrama nie aku bagi 4.4/5. Aku rasa kalau dorang ada buat untuk 2nd seasons, macam 'Gokusen' tu, Confirm aku akan layan sebab drama neh tak membosankan kepala serta otak aku ;p Genre drama macam nie la yang aku minat selain dari genre 'penyiasatan'. Kira drama nie lebih kurang'Gokusen', 'GTO', & macam-macam lagi la yang seumpama dengannya. Jdrama "Dragon Zakura" ni mengisarkan berkenaan sebuah sekolah yang hampir/telah mengalami kerugian dan diisytihar 'Bankrupt'. Jadi Seorang peguam (Sakuragi) telah ditugaskan untukmembantu sekolah tersebut dalam menyelesaikan masalah yang dialami. Peguam yang ditugaskan tersebut merupakan bekas geng bermotosikal yang bermasalah ketika zaman mudanya. Jadi, sendiri pikir la tengok, siapa nak ikut cakap orang yang macam tu hahaha! Tambahan pula, peguam tu  mengeluarkan kenyataan yang membuatkan semua orang di sekolah tu rasa tak senang duduk. Peguam tu cakap dia berjanji akan hantar 5 orang pelajar sekolah tersebut ke Universiti Tokyo (Toudai) dalam tahun tersebut. Dah la sekolah tu  purata markah pelajar-pelajarnya hanya 36 ja (kalau ikut dalam drama la). Macam mana dorang kira aku tak pasti. Jadi peguam tu, merangkap cikgu jugak la telah mewujudkan sebuah "Special Class" untuk ajar pelajar-pelajar yang akan ingin menduduki peperiksaan untuk memasuki Universiti Tokyo (Toudai). Jadi Peguam@Cikgu tu pun dapat la 6 orang pelajar serta seorang cikgu  untuk membantu iaitu Ino Sensei...Kemudian bermula la sesi pembelajaran selama 1 tahun.. macam-macam benda yang terjadi dalam tempoh tersebut.  Haaaa... Berjayakah 6 orang pelajar tersebut??? Sila tengok Episod 11 hehehehe!..........

Synopsis :

Sakuragi Kenji is a destitute lawyer and one-time member of a motorcyle gang trying to guide failing high school students with an average score of 36 into Japan's most prestigious educational institution, Tokyo University (Toudai). 

"If you want to change your life, get into Toudai!" 

For no other reason than Sakuragi's personal ambition, he has advertised his intention to produce 5 successful Toudai applicants from the students of a nearly bankrupt failure of a school. 

"If you want to change your life, get into Toudai!" He will get them from this lowest of all schools into Japan's number one!! 

 

Our protagonist, Sakuragi Kenji, played by Abe Hiroshi in his first role as a high school teacher, is a must see in this summer's new show. This third rate lawyer soon becomes the homeroom teacher for the special advanced class aiming for Toudai University entrance. Hasegawa Kyouko costars as english teacher and Sakuragi's opponent, and Yamashita Tomohisa from NEWS and Nagasawa Masami also appear in the role of students. This awaited original work and fascinating world view is brought to you from the popular serialized comic in Shuukan Morning (Kodansha) and has even been updated! 

In addition to revealing essential test taking techniques for everyone who wants to know how to get into Toudai, Dragon Zakura will also teach the essentials of living one's life.
