JDorama review: Boss 2

Title: Boss season 2 Broadcast dates: 4/14/11 - 6/30/11 Number of episodes: 11 Genre: Detective Cast: Amami Yuki, Takenouchi Yutaka, Tamayama Tetsuji, Toda Erika, Mizobata Junpei, Kendo Kobayashi, Nukumizu Youichi, Hasegawa Kyoko, Narumi Riko Plot: Two years have passed. Nodate (Takenouchi) has received a promotion, thanks to the work of Osawa (Amami) and her team. Now it is time to bring the team back together. What is good: Amami Yuki is an amazing actress. What is bad: Kimoto (Toda) is missing from most of the series. Letter rating: A

I absolutely loved the first season of Boss so I was looking forward to the second season. For the most part, it didn't let me down. The only part I didn't like was Kimoto's "banishment." While they tried to replace her with two characters, it just wasn't the same. Granted, I would love to see Kurohara Rika become Kimoto's protege of sorts. That would be a pretty awesome spin-off.

My favorite part of the series is that it is a detective series but it keeps humor in their lives as well. It's not all stuffy or anything. I am really looking forward to news of a third season.
