A former motorcycle gang leader with exactly no qualifications becomes a middle school teacher after lying his way through an interview — and turns out to be the only person willing to actually deal with a class that has deliberately destroyed every previous teacher who tried to manage them. A workplace comedy that turns the school setting into something as specifically observed as any office comedy, built on the premise that the one person uncontrollable by the system is also the one person who can reach the students the system has given up on. Iconic J-drama, remade multiple times.
