BOSS 2 Review

Title: BOSS Season 2
Genre: Crime, Detective, Comedy
Episodes: 11
Broadcast period: 2011- to 2011-
Cast: Amami Yuki, Toda Erika, Takenouchi Yukata, Hasegawa Kyoko, Mizobata Junpei and Tamayama Tetsuji.

This season continues two years after a terrorist situation, where the team got split up because of an incident that happened shortly after. Osawa Eriko (Amami Yuki) is back, older, louder and much bossier, putting the team back after her friend and boss Nodate Shinjiro (Takenouchi Yutaka) becomes director. As Kimoto Mami (Toda Erika) is blamed for the mishap that happened in their last incident, she is transferred and new members join the team. But the team has trust issues towards Osawa, believing she is the one that threw Kimoto out, making them lag in action.

I love this series. Watched season one and thought it was different; funny and somewhat realistic. To be honest I watched season one because of Toda Erika, but ended up being a big fan of Amami Yuki (the one that plays boss), now waiting eagerly for subs on one of her newer dramas. Different than season 1, season 2 is a bit loose at the beginning, with random cases, but ends up pretty thrilling, was very excited at the last episode. On the other hand, the last scene(s) are a bit disappointing. Was at least expecting a big POW, or something... To sum up, good/great watch, but not too wowing: P

Jenji's verdict
Waaah, I really missed this drama, I love how japanese dramas (not saying tht other dont but mostly japanese) make you really excited and looking forward to watching the drama. This one did too, a lot of things happen and its actually a really good drama when talking about quality. It did start out a bit weird, it was confusing because you dont really get to know anything from the end of season 1, but I guess that was because of the ending. Still really great, but I missed a bit that.. they are always successful, you know that at the end of every episode its gonna end good. But again not necessarily a con, just me maybe got a bit tired of it, some times its really complicated and you feel like an idiot watching it but thats mostly typical japanese dramas lol. But if you have watched season one definitely watch this one too, its great.
