Dragon Zakura Review
A struggling lawyer, Kenji Sakuragi, takes a position at private school Tatsuyama Gakuen to pay off his debts. Kenji decides to try to turn this hopeless school into one of the elite institutions in Japan to help rejuvenate his career. His barometer of success will be to get five of his students admitted to the prestigious Tokyo University the following year. But rather than cramming them with lots of general information, his down-to-earth class concentrates on unknown techniques for passing the entrance examination and how to live a good life in these turbulent times. His refreshing outlook and strategy may just be what is needed to turn around the future prospects of himself and his students, and teach the rest of us a thing or two as well!
### About Series "Dragon Zakura (2005)"
Dragon Zakura tells about Sakuragi Kenji, a doomed lawyer and one-time member of a motorcycle gang that tries to guide failed high school students with a GPA of 36 into Japan's most prestigious educational institution, University Tokyo (Toudai). For no other reason than Sakuragi's personal ambition, he advertised his intention to create 5 successful Toudai candidates from the students of a failed near-bankrupt school. In addition to revealing the necessary test-taking techniques for all who want to know how to enter Toudai, "Dragon Zakura" will also teach the essentials of one's life.

**#Review: **
A funny yet heart warming drama Dragon Zakura tackles the lives of teens who are always looked down upon and called "idiots".
This drama deals with very realistic problems that teens face everyday in schools and in their homes. I quite liked how there are many lessons you will learn just by watching this drama. I think you will be left with a little bit of a new outlook on life as i was.
The cast is jammed packed full of great actors and actresses such as Aragaki Yui (from Koi Zora), Koike Teppei (from Lovely Complex), Yamashita Tomohisa (from Kurosagi) along with the charming Abe Hiroshi. I think the cast was perfectly matched to this drama and kept it interesting. Plenty of eye candy for both boys and girls!
Music wise all the music seem to fit really well into the story especially the opening theme song Realize by Melody.
I would recommend this drama to everyone, It has its funny moments but also has a very serious side to the drama that most people would understand and relate to.
