Spanish version of the series "Physics or Chemistry"
The idea of creating an frank series that talks about the relationship between students and teachers, as well as the difficulties that young people face, was born in Spain. The series began to be released in Spain in 2008. The pilot series was already of great interest, so it was decided to continue shooting.
Until 2011, 7 seasons came out. But by the beginning of the last, the interest of the audience began to weaken, so at first the last season was reduced to 7 series. It was announced that season 8 would see the light. Those viewers who liked the actors of the series "Physics or Chemistry", Spain and its features, cleverly woven into the plot, an unusual story, waited for a very long time to continue. It was announced that filming for the new season was frozen. Therefore, it remains only to revise the old series or to look at adaptations.

The series takes place at Zurbaran College. Young teachers who got a job there are ready to start a new academic year and teach young people how to think. But the only problem is that the teachers themselves are close to their students by age. Therefore, they have not only to teach some lessons, but also to learn something themselves.
The peculiarity of the series is that viewers are invited to observe the relationships in the teaching staff, communication between mentors and students, as well as the dramas unfolding in the lives of students of Zurbaran.
Series Issues
In the series, each of the viewers can find what seems to him the closest and most understandable. The creators repeatedly raise the theme of first love. But among couples there are same-sex. In addition, attention is drawn to the problem of an increase in the number of anorexia patients. The pursuit of beauty standards and hatred of one’s own body turned out to be familiar and understandable not only to Spaniards and Spaniards. And, of course, the theme of teenage cruelty, sometimes based on the ideas of racism, was not without. As in many educational schools, in Zurbaran there are those who consider themselves entitled to make their fate, and those whose lives are poisoned by pain and fear of tomorrow. Adolescent pregnancy and related problems and joys were not ignored.
Spectators are not only entertained by an interesting story, but also taught to be more tolerant of people around them. So one of the heroes finds out about his HIV disease. The other has to go through all the pangs of cancer treatment.

Spanish series "Physics or Chemistry": actors and roles
Due to the fact that the series tells not only about college students, but also about teachers, the cast is large and of different ages. Sometimes even the most devoted fans of the series cannot remember all the names. But there are those heroes and actors who will remain in memory for a long time.
One of the most beloved actors was Adam Jezerski, who played Gorka. At first, his hero seems to be the most ordinary bully that is in any educational institution. It does not cause sympathy either from the audience or from the heroes of the series. But with the development of the plot, it turns out that everything is not as simple as it seemed. The behavior of the young man was the result of problems in his family. Gorka turned out to be a true friend and an intelligent young man. He was played by a young actor of Polish descent. Adam Jezersky not only often appears on Spanish television screens, but also works in the theater, and is also actively involved in music.
One of the high-profile couples of the series was David and Fer. They were played by Adrian Rodriguez and Javier Calvo. In life, young people have become good friends. They continue to communicate even after they stopped shooting the series. As the actors themselves note, almost nothing connects them with their heroes. However, they were able to show their characters in such a way that the audience fell in love and remembered both the characters and the actors who played them.
Spanish series Physics or Chemistry: Actresses and Roles
What else is remarkable about the series? Actors of the series "Physics or Chemistry" (Spanish version) woke up famous after the release of the pilot series. One of those who brought fame to this project was Andrea Duro. In the series, she played Yoli. Her character is beautiful, sociable and very friendly. She has many friends among boys and girls. But where there is popularity, there are envious people.
Many admit that Andrea is one of the most beautiful actresses in the series. The story of her heroine develops throughout all seven seasons. It is not surprising that the actress managed to become popular during this time. She not only pleased fans from the screens, but also managed to appear on the covers of several well-known Spanish magazines.
The series “Physics or Chemistry” (Spanish version) also talks about the teachers. Actors who played mentors also received their share of fame and reverence. For example, actress Blanca Romero played Irene, a teacher of philosophy. A liberal and modern teacher, like her wards, loves to have fun in nightclubs and take a walk through the streets of the city. But with the advent of her niece, she has to reconsider her views on life.
Differences between the Russian and Spanish versions of the series "Physics or Chemistry"
In the wake of the success of the series "Physics or Chemistry" around the world, it was decided to remove the adaptation of this project. The Russian version was released on the STS channel. However, there were some differences between the original series and the adaptation.
The actors called a lot of attention in the new series “Physics or Chemistry”. The Russian version, unlike the Spanish version, shines with names familiar to lovers of Russian cinema. Favorite actors were invited to the roles of teachers and parents. And the schoolchildren themselves played young talents. Many actors in the series "Physics or Chemistry" (Russian version) admitted that this project opened the way for them to the cinema and gave their first roles.
If the action of the Spanish series takes place in college, then Russian characters are in the 10th grade of the school. This difference is due to the characteristics of life in different countries. But the Spanish and Russian heroes are of the same age, which makes their problems relevant for young people.
Screenwriters, director and actors of the series "Physics or Chemistry" (Russian version) said that the adaptation will consider several other problems inherent in youth. And again this is due to the peculiarities of the mentality. This approach made it possible to make the heroes closest to ordinary Russian schoolchildren.
The plot of the Russian version of the series "Physics or Chemistry"
The adaptation turned out to be of high quality and interesting, as the creators and actors of the film "Physics or Chemistry" promised. The Russian version begins with the fact that the young teacher sees off the last day of summer at a party. There she meets a guy with whom she spends the night. But only the next day she has to find out that her new lover is studying in the class in which she is forced to work.
Other schoolchildren are celebrating the new school year with great interest, because there is a huge replenishment in their teaching staff. Four new teachers come to them at once: in literature, philosophy, visual arts and physical education. The actors and roles correspond to each other in the series "Physics or Chemistry". Therefore, one can understand the confusion of schoolgirls when they see young and pretty teachers in front of them. Imagine how difficult it will be for the latter to teach their lesson when they see peers and comrades rather than mentors in them.
The problems of the Russian version of the series "Physics or Chemistry"
It was promised that the series Physics or Chemistry would raise many questions. Actors (Russian version) noted that among the topics raised there will be the problem of young teachers when they just come to a new job. Senior colleagues accept them with a degree of distrust and skepticism, because young professionals have twice as much difficulty.
In addition, as in the Spanish version, the problem of drug addiction was raised. One of the teachers will turn out to be dependent, which will call into question his career.
There will be those in the school who suffer bullying from more confident classmates. Such, for example, will be a capable and intelligent boy, Jan. Actors talked about this turn in the series "Physics or Chemistry". The Russian version will also talk about the problems of racism in school, as well as the Spanish series.
The series "Physics or Chemistry": actors. Russian version
One of the new teachers at the school was physical education teacher Yevgeny Tigranovich Zakoyan. It was played by a young actor Alexander Luchinin. He was to embody on the screen a man trying to keep up with modern youth and understand how it lives. He loves his subject, but not to the point of fanaticism. In communication with schoolchildren, he achieved success, so some consider him their friend and seek advice.
Another new teacher was Rick Artemovich Kramerov. It was played by Sergey Godin. A straightforward and honest mentor is sympathetic to students. And it seems that his new work will not be overshadowed by any factors. But soon the audience will find out that Rick’s father works in the same school.
One of the links to the Spanish version of the series was the hero of Alexei Koval. He played a school bully Igor Gorku. Viewers will be interested in knowing what made this badass what it is. And, perhaps, he will fall in love as much as the Spanish Gorka.
One of the most prominent heroes was the teacher of philosophy and ethics, Irina Sergeevna Nekrasova. She was played by Victoria Poltorak. Actors spoke a little about her character in the series "Physics or Chemistry". The Russian version (the photo of the heroine, by the way, was decorated by many magazines and newspapers) was decorated with her appearance. Irina Sergeevna is beautiful and knows this. She is a good specialist, but outside of school she enjoys having fun in a youth company. This will cause her problems.
The almost complete opposite of Irina Sergeevna is Lada Konstantinovna Belova, a literature teacher. She was played by Maria Viktorova. Actors described this character in a bit more detail in an interview about the series “Physics or Chemistry”. The Russian version will introduce a teacher who sincerely loves his subject and always wanted to work at school. But after the very first lesson, it turns out that Lada Konstantinovna cannot at all find a common language with her students. They are not interested in her subject. Any initiative of Lada Konstantinovna causes only a new wave of ridicule.
Now you know what actors and roles are in the series "Physics or Chemistry". Russia and Spain are somewhat similar and somewhat different. You can draw parallels by looking at two versions. Each of them has something that can catch the viewer.
