Synopsis

The Board of Audit's Special Investigations Division punishes civil servants who cheat and waste the taxes paid by the hard-working people. The heroine, Tsutsumi Shinko (Shinohara Ryoko), is a daring character who doesn't get impressed by power and influence but mercilessly pursues the scoundrels. She who used to be a swindler and has a difficult personality gets scouted by the division and is paired up with the elite rookie, Kudou Suguru (Okada Masaki) who is a graduate of Tokyo University and comes from a family of government officials.

From the starting point, Shinko, who was a swindler met a person from elite organization. That man saw something from Shinko that was not possessed by others people, although that person, some how, know about shinko background and she was in a parole that time. That Man asked Shinko whether or not she wanted to work for him, with the huge salary but also a huge risk. The offer is to work as a civil servant for Special Auditor that punish cheating civil servants. Shinko agreed.

Even though he was a swindler, she actually had a good heart and some how, work for justice. The fact that shinko is in parole is a secret because the regulation state that peoples in parole can not work as an civil servant. In her office, she saw peoples doing nothing, such carefree, without any responsibility. She met with Kudou, an elite rookie who have a high expectation on her ability (without knowing that Shinko was a swindler). She also met her ex-boy friend Kadomatsu Ichirou (Oizumi Yo) who, somehow become her victim of swindler marriage before. She was assigned with Kudou, Ichirou, and two more people as her colleague work.

Actually, many report of cheathing was sent to that office, but the worker there take it very easy about that and not giving any attention into that report. They pretend that nothing happen in that report, afraid to precess because some of the reports is telling about the cheat in taxes by elite people. It pissed Shinko off. With her power, skill, and strong determined heart, shinko charged and beat up that tax cheater using her method with undeniable proof.

Some how, shinko that was helped by his colleagues that amazed by shinko's great work manage to solve many chases. Some of them are Tax Evading Bureaucrats, Officers who eat the Hospital Funds, The corrupted Village Head, ext. It happen that their move lead her and his team to face the Prime Minister scandal. Many things Happen. Trick, betrayal, swindler, power, money, ambission, mixed into one, some how it break the Shinko team. But Justice will always prevail. Shinko and her team will absolutely overcome that problem.

This drama has its intersting side, especially from the main character that have daring attitude and strong will to keep on fighting. The ending is also unpredictable, that is what make me give a recommendation in this drama.

The money that you cheated until this time

Please return it all back to the Golden Pig

Broadcast period: 2008-Jul-04 to 2008-Sep-12

Synopsis

To put the story simply, this drama is about Naruse Ryo's (Ohno Satoshi) journey to seek revenge for his younger brother who died of a stabbing incident caused by Serizawa Naoto (Ikuma Toma) who was a delinquent back in his junior high days. Within the period of 11 years, Naruse has been watching Serizawa and tracking the movements of him, his family and those related to the incident in one way or another. As such, this is a revenge not only on Serizawa but also the people who caused the injustice suffered by Naruse, his late brother and mother.

This is a suspense story quite unlike what other dramas have been doing. In this case, the motive and the culprit are known beforehand whereas in most dramas, viewers are taken for a ride to guess the culprit. However, Maou doesn't disappoint, in the sense that it is not a senseless series of murders but it is a web of deceit and clever manipulations which ultimately achieves what Naruse wants. It means that Naruse doesn't have to do the dirty job himself and even if he's caught, he cannot be charged with anything. Of course, in some parts of the story, there are some coincidences which fall so nicely into place that you will doubt why Lady Luck is always on Naruse's side. More on that later.

What happened 11 years ago was a tragic accident but due to a couple of misjudgments or decisions along the way, everything went out of proportion. There are a lot of what ifs in this story. What if Serizawa Eisaku (Naoto's father) had chosen to let his son speak the truth instead of protecting him with the excuse of self-defence and letting Hideo (Naruse's brother) to take the blame? What if Serizawa had managed to apologize to Naruse 11 years ago? (He did go to look for Naruse at that time but couldn't find him.) What if Yamano (Hideo's friend) had spoken out against Serizawa since he had witnessed the incident? If any of the questions raised above went towards the other way, this might not have led to the current revenge attempt. As such, what comes around goes around. It is a matter of time before the dark past catches up with someone. In this case, Serizawa's unintentional mistake 11 years ago led to such serious repercussions today which he would never have dreamt of.

I wouldn't go into the details of the plot though but would like to raise some points which I thought are worth mentioning:

1) The most "coincidental" murder - Ikehata's falling to his death in a warehouse

Frankly speaking, this was the most unbelievable murder (or so-called accident) in the whole story. How was Naruse supposed to know that Ikehata would run to the second flour of the warehouse, step on a faulty flooring and fall to his death? I know he did something to "lure" Ikehata into the warehouse but surely he wouldn't have guessed how the latter was going to run away from the yakuza he hired? That's why I thought this will be No.1 among all the cases in the story when you are talking about Lady Luck being on Naruse's side.

2) Naruse being able to walk to the scrap disposal grounds despite being stabbed by Yamano in the last episode / Shiori running to the scrap disposal ground

Either Naruse has the best stamina to last throughout the journey or he has the strongest willpower to walk all the way to where his brother died. ^__^ I just don't get the meaning of running around or walking long distances when you could have easily hailed a cab or taken other modes of transport. Maybe it's because they wanted to intensify the atmosphere of the climax scene.

3) The biggest screw-up: saying the wrong character name

I can't remember which episode was it, but I remember clearly that Yoshinori (Gekidan Hitori) said Mai instead of Mari (his wife's name) while talking to Kasai (Tanaka Kei). I was a bit surprised to hear that and wonder how this mistake could have gone unnoticed. Well, if you have been reading the production blog of Maou, it seems that they were on a very tight schedule and this could have led to this blunder. Never mind about this, it's just a name. Thankfully, they didn't make a big mistake on the story.

The ending is definitely fitting for this dark story. It depends on how you view it. It can be a tragedy or a happy ending. I like how the tension built up over the episodes and when you come to the ending, all that pressure is released. I can't say whether I'm happy or sad to see this outcome but only one word comes to mind: peace. At least we won't see the saga between the two continuing. Most of the people involved are dead anyway.

Well, both Naruse and Serizawa died. I was sort-of expecting Serizawa to die first and Naruse would probably kill himself or something. However, the ending proved me half-correct. Indeed, Naruse killed Serizawa (but it was an accident and exactly in the same fashion as what happened between Serizawa and Hideo) but this time, it was with a gun. And Naruse's ultimate motive for taking revenge was for Serizawa to be filled with rage and kill him so that he can join his mother and Hideo in death. In conclusion, Naruse wanted to commit suicide in the first place but not without dragging Serizawa through living hell first. Although they both gained each other's forgiveness, it was too late since both of them achieved this consensus only through death. And it was such an anti-climax for Naruse to die from the stab wound afflicted by Yamano. Maybe suicide for Naruse might be a more "elaborate" and "dramatic" ending to this story.

Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) 1998

2015-05-26T00:30:00.001-07:00

Broadcast period: July 7 - September 22, 1998
Episodes: 12

Synopsis :

The drama series is based on the manga and anime of the same name, both created by Fujisawa Tohru. The story is a sequel of lesser known series Shounan Jun'ai-gumi (Shounan Love Gang) where Onizuka Eikichi's rogue high school days are depicted.

Sorimachi Takashi plays Onizuka Eikichi, a graduate of a third-rate University and the leader of a motorcycle gang, whose lifelong dream is to become a teacher. After being hired by a seemingly eccentric director, Onizuka begins his unconventional way of teaching a hopeless group of troublemakers. Although he meets much opposition from the students and teachers themselves, his passion for teaching, and more importantly, his students, eventually convinces everyone that Onizuka truly has the makings of a great teacher.

Detailed for episode 1
The scene opens at an crowded outdoor swimming pool with sexy bikini ladies swimming and chatting under the sun. High up outside the building's windows stands a puzzled window cleaner, Onizuka, unpleased with his job. Seeing this, his colleague asked what he wants to be most in life, and Onizuka's answer is, a teacher. Instead of being supportive, his colleague laughs at his misfit ambition that seems unlikely with his punkish character.

A police officer arrives shortly after their conversation, asking for Onizuka. The officer is Saejima, Onizuka's close buddy, who tells him that a teacher had just tried to commit suicide and shows him a notice stating urgent need for a replacement teacher. Without much thought, Onizuka runs off for the interview, telling himself that this time, he is going to make it.

During the interview conducted by the unimpressed school's headmaster and supervisor looking through his resume, they go on to ask him the reason for being a teacher. Anxiously, he answers that his versed karate skills should be of much use when it comes to teaching difficult students. Hearing this, the headmaster declines his application straightaway as the supervisor mumbles sarcastic remarks about him. When asked to leave, Onizuka stares sternly at the headmaster, who goes on further to say that the school is no place for trash like him.

In rage, he shoots up from his seat, startling the two interviewers as he did, but leaves in disappointment with an apology. At the beverage counter tended by a friendly old lady who presumes he was rejected, Onizuka questions the views of teachers towards students nowadays, and says to her that he will never think his students as trash if he is a teacher. The old lady reacts bewildered at his words.

Just then, two rough looking students armed with bats rushed up the stairs towards the interview room. The old lady suggests that perhaps Onizuka should try to stop the students to turn the situation around. The students upstairs chase the frightened headmaster and supervisor who run frantically out the door. At the corridor, Onizuka interferes the pursuit, and introduces himself to the students that he is someone who shows respect for the headmaster. The students explain their rage at the headmaster's crude decision to expel them even after they apologize. But when the headmaster enforces that trash like them will never change, Onizuka grows stern and turns to give the headmaster a kick on his face. The onlooking students and the old lady look in surprise at Onizuka, who walks off with a pleased look.

That evening at the arcade, two male teenagers tried to intimidate the dispirited Onizuka at the arcade, only to be threatened by him instead. Onizuka commands them to sponsor him supplies at the convenience store. Onizuka finds Saejima back home, who is in the middle of watching porn video. Saejima reveals that someone came looking for Onizuka earlier and passed him a name card knowing he wasn't around. To Onizuka's surprise, the name card belongs to the director of the school where he was interviewed that very morning. Saejima conveys that the person promises to wait till 12 am if Onizuka is interested to be hired. With less than half an hour to spare, Onizuka hops on Saejima's police car and makes haste to the school, jumping over the closed gates.

Onizuka stops panting in front of the faculty office doors barely in time, and is received by a lady just when he thinks he is too late. The lady, Akira is pleased and introduces herself as the director, who happens to be the same lady who tended the school's beverage store. She accepts Onizuka's application, to his disbelief, saying that the school's problems lie not only with the students, but the teachers as well. Thus she needs a teacher with a stout character like him, and pleads for him to help her make the school better. For the first time, Onizuka hears someone else addresses him as 'Onizuka sensei' and is overjoyed. Yet the director only agrees to hire him on one condition...

The next day, the story introduces Fuyutsuki, a beautiful female teacher dragging herself up from bed as her alarm rings, showing great reluctance to start the new school day. At the school's gates, she runs into Onizuka who stares at her in fascination, giving her the impression of a pervert. She ignores him and hastens her way to school while Onizuka stops before the gate anxiously to prepare himself for his first day as a teacher. This he does by smoking and peering at passing female students' legs under their short skirts.

Much talk about a new unqualified teacher has spread around the teachers, and the headmaster tries to dissuade the director from her reckless decision, having ownself been kicked by him on the face. The director however insists to give him a chance, and let him takes on the most problematic class, 2-4.

Onizuka's arrival is treated with unwelcome and despise from the teachers, who do not even care to look a second glance at him. Fuyutsuki, under the headmaster's order, guides Onizuka with annoyance to his class. Once in, he writes his name on the blackboard, and turns to face the students, observing him in puzzlement and fascination. A friendly looking girl, Miyabi requests him for an introduction. Some of the girls comment on his good looks, while a girl Chikako teases another female student, Nanako that Onizuka fits her type of guys. At the back, Onizuka notices two male students who were the ones he met at the arcade. A male student Murai convinces Onizuka that the two, who apologize upfront with reluctance in their eyes are repentant for their actions. As he conducts his rollcall, Miyabi's friendly exterior melts away into a cold stare, as did Murai, scribbling wildly the words 'Kill Onizuka' on paper, and Kikuchi, the intellectual class leader, takes a sneak shot of Onizuka on camera.

After school, Onizuka finds Nanako, crying alone at one corner, saying that she doesn't want to go home. So Onizuka takes her to his place hoping to help her, unaware that it is a trap she sets with her two classmates who Onizuka met the arcade. At his place, she strips before the shocked Onizuka while her classmate shoots the moment she throws her arms around Onizuka's body. The guys threaten that his picture be made public if he doesn't pay up a certain sum by the next day. Before they leave, Onizuka asks Nanako whether her saying that she has a problem was purely an act from the start. Nanako hesitates and replies that even if she really does have a problem, why would she ever come to a teacher for help.

The three students gather at a cafe in celebration, but Nanako isn't in the mood and leaves curtly. As the two chases after her, they are stopped by Onizuka who brings them to a deserted road, where mean looking bikers appear and surround them. One of them reveals meanly Onizuka as their leader.

News of the the two students being dragged on bikes across the streets reach the school next day, with the headmaster bent on having Onizuka resign on the spot. With no choice, the director agrees and requests that Onizuka passes her his preprepared resignation letter which was the condition of his hire that should he break the school rules, he will resign on his own will. However, the teachers are taken aback when the two students speak in agreement with Onizuka's actions and request for him to stay, when in truth, they are acting under Onizuka's instructions in fear. Fuyutsuki realizes this after overhearing their conversation, and declares him as despicable.

On the other hand, Nanako grows interest in Onizuka as he is the first teacher to resist the students' notorious threats. She invites him to her big house, where Onizuka learns that she actually comes from a well to do family, though Nanako resents her parents' constant absence from home. Nanako decides to stay at Onizuka's place for the night, without telling her parents, who call up the school the next day to learn of her daughter's whereabouts. When the headmaster pressures Nanako to tell where she went the night before, Onizuka stands in to testify that she was at his place because she didn't want to go home. Despite the headmaster's order, she insists to stay at Onizuka's place.

During dinner which she prepares for Onizuka at his place, Nanako reveals how badly she misses the days when her house was smaller, and her parents were closer to each other. Now that her parents are rich, their relationship turn cold, they hardly talk and even sleep in separate rooms blocked by wall that seem inpenetrable. Hearing this, Onizuka tells her to leave, saying that she doesn't belong here. At once, Nanako throws down her apron and leaves in rage.

Wandering alone, Nanako encounters Fuyutsuki outside the arcade, who just received a call from her supervisor about Nanako parents' concern that their daughter has yet to return. Nanako asked Fuyutsuki about her opinions of Onizuka, which puzzled Fuyutsuki. She sent Nanako home, meanwhile followed by Nanako's two male classmates. At Nanako's house are the headmaster and her parents. When her parents ask why she did such an irresponsible thing for letting them worry, she simply says that they aren't fit to be her parents for realizing their daughters' disappearance only at such a late hour.

Furious at her answer, her parents blame each other, and eventually the school's mishandling for letting such an incident to happen. Fuyutsuki refuses to acknowledge this as the school's fault, until the cowardly headmaster presses her to do so and apologize for her attitude. Suddenly, Onizuka shows up with a sledge hammer in one hand before the startled group, yelling for Nanako who later runs out from her room upstairs. He asks Nanako 'Where is it?' The next scene shows a determined Onizuka storming into her father's room, stopping upon the wall. He slowly lifts the hammer and begins hammering. While Nanako's parents run to call the police, the headmaster goes after to stop them. Nanako watches on in silence moved to tears, along with Fuyutsuki and her two classmates who look on speechlessly while Onizuka hammers.

The smashed wall reveals a hole that leads to Nanako's mother's room. As Nanako peers from her mom's room, she breaks into a cheery smile. Onizuka tells her that the rest is up to her and walks off. The next day, he hands in his resignation letter to the director. When asked if he has any regrets, his answer is a no. Meanwhile Fuyutsuki and Nanako's two classmates' opinions of him begins to change. Nanako arrives in time to thank Onizuka as it was through that hole her parents saw each other's faces and smiled again for the first in a long time the night before. Nanako's parents then call saying they would lodge a complaint if the school fires Onizuka. The director gladly withdraws his resignation while the headmaster retreats in dismay.

Onizuka asks Fuyutsuki out for a date, who agrees to his rejoice. However, while passing by a commotion at the noticeboard, Fuyutsuki goes forward to check and sees a poster of a naked Onizuka posed in a S & M treatment with two ladies at his side. Stunned with disgust, she slaps Onizuka and runs off. Onizuka is no less shocked than Fuyutsuki to see such an obscene poster of himself.

Then,. please watch the rest by your self. It will be worth your time.^^

As she notes in one entry, "I write because writing is evidence that I am still alive."

Synopsis

The story of a young, idealistic teacher who enters Shirokin Gakuen with hopes of making a difference in the students' lives. However, Yamaguchi Kumiko (Nakama Yukie) is in for a rude awakening when she finds that she will be the homeroom teacher of 3-D, the hardest class to maintain in the school. The students have multi-colored hair, sloppy uniforms, and show absolutely no respect to her. The leader of the class, Sawada Shin is lazy but bright and shows some interest in Yamaguchi when he notices that she is very different from other teachers. The students try to bully her to make her quit, but their attempts don't get them very far.

What the class and the rest of the school does not know is that Yamaguchi Kumiko is actually the 4th generation heir to the Ooedo Group, a notorious yakuza clan. Even though her family would like her to take the title of Ojou when her grandfather dies, they have accepted the fact that Yamaguchi would rather be a teacher.

Eventually, the students learn to respect their quirky teacher because of her devotion to them, and even give her a nickname: Yankumi.

So Sawatari goes far away to a southern island to search for Yankumi, and convince her to work for Akado. Yankumi accepts the offer, only to find that her class (again) is full of punks, where two rival groups of students are always at each other's throats. Will Yankumi's strong belief in students and teaching work this time?

My opinion about this drama :

Those drama are very touching, with the idealism of kumiko the teacher, the friendship of her students, and so many good point there. Some how, i wonder if i can meet teacher like her. "Oretachi no Seishun" is my favourite theme song here.
