All in all, it was a good season.  Especially, "ROOKIES" gained a lot of support as the drama progresses and became a big hit!  TBS announced to air the special drama next fall and even the movie version next year!

Even though Gokusen maintained a high rating with the support from the core fans (& Hey Say Jump fan?), ROOKIES beated Gokusen by far with its exciting storyline and each actor's powerful acting skills.

Also, Eita and Juri Ueno received a high recognition with their acting skills in "Last Friends".

My personal favorite other than ROOKIES was "CHANGE", "Last Friends", "Around 40", "Zettai Kareshi" and I liked "Osen" a lot.   Ending-wise, however, I wished a better ending for "Around 40" and "Zettai Kareshi".
