JDrama: BOSS 2!

Ironically, being in Japan has really slowed my Jdrama schedule down.  The internet here is kind of slow.  Not in all of Japan, but on Rebun Island.  I did manage to get the last few episodes of BOSS 2. I loved the origianal (see my original review).  Everything good about the first one remains good. YAY! The line up is a bit different, but BOSS is still BOSS, which is all that maters.

You should definitely watch season 2 if you liked season 1.  If you haven't watched season 1 - what are you waiting for?  Watch it! Bonus point: Hasegawa kyoko from Dragonsukara is in it! (my review)



PS - the show doesn't do that much with personal development, but I really want Nodate and Boss to realize that they would be awesome together . . . I can be such a girl sometimes! 

JDrama: Boss

I just finished another great JDrama: Boss.  This drama skipped the line.  I had noticed it, but dismissed it.  After reading a review over at The Geek Within, I decided to give it a try - immediately (as instructed).  I was looking for something different, not to long, and fun (read as not emotionally draining).  Boss defiantly fit the bill.

First, the older cast was refreshing after gorging myself on mainly high school dramas.  Sometimes adults are good.  Boss is also kind of a CSI style procedural.  I do mean kind of its a procedural and there are dead bodies, but it doesn't take itself too seriously.  Its a funny show after all.  The cases are fun.  I usually figured they out way in advance, but I still enjoyed watching the team solve the case . . . I pretty much just enjoyed watching the team.

Amami Yuki is fantastic as the Boss.  In fact, she is the best part of the show in my opinion.  Intelligent, tough, and a bit ridiculous . . . I wonder if she reminds me of someone . . . All the side characters are fun.  And Bosses interactions with Nodate are great.  Its nice seeing old friends portrayed well on screen.  Anyway, its the characters that make the show.

Sorimachi Takashi (GTO) is a guest star!  \(^_^)/

Overall, I would highly recommend for drama lovers.  Particularly ones who get overwhelmed by teen angst and love triangles sometimes!  I look forward to watching the sequel!
