JDORAMA: Boss Seasons 1 & 2

I won't post spoilers, just some thoughts on the J-Dorama: Boss

*thanks to wiki for the pic*

I am very particular with the cast when it comes to watching series. I seldom watch those who are not in my F-list. Namely... J, J, J and Kimura Takuya. Anyway, since Kimura-san makes 1 series a year while Jerry Yan makes 1 series in indefinite years and Jacky Cheung doesn't make any series at all and Jay... well I could wait for him he has projects like every year... I need to fill in the spaces in between when these guys don't show up for like... months.

Thanks to my colleague, CJ, she has enlightened me and talked me into watching Boss.

I was hooked with boss because of the plot, next was... the male lead, Takenouchi Yutaka which was surprisingly there that I didn't know of, but since he was a cast in Long Vacation, I assume I can watch this dorama in a way... Also, the female character lead was really extraordinary with a strong personality... Amami Yuki and Erika Toda her apprentice. I like how she solves every case with her own twist, which is quite amusing though a bit predictable. Her humor as an oba-chan has added spice in the series. She's a funny and very open minded spinster I should say. The series is a mix of murder case + slapstick comedy + a bit of sexual abuse + love for work. You'll see how efficient and how this team which started out from diversified locations of their Interpol has become a team that has coordination and cooperation with a BOSS that is a spinster.

So if you want a good dorama with a tad of CSI and Comedy, I recommend you... BOSS.

Ji-ken daka ra... (we have a case...)
