    BOSS 2

    Remember how I said that BOSS 2 was descending into a pit of mediocrity (maybe not in as many words)? Well, episode 7 happened, and it was exactly the kind of quality I’ve been wanting and expecting all season.

    (I feel like a cheat. This is an all new screencapture, I didn’t color it or anything, but it’s almost the same exact one I used when I first posted about JIN in December 09! Parallels…)

    I wasn’t even sure that this series could get any better, but it did. The political intrigue is ten times more interesting than it was last time. I remember getting bored during the second half of the very first episode of JIN, but at the time of typing this, I was about an hour into it and wondering when it would end because clearly such greatness cannot last!

    That’s all I’ll say about it for now, too busy with wrapping up the semester to elaborate anymore. Mad excited about the next episode, though. If you’re not watching this already (the whole series!), GET TO IT.

    I LOVE THIS PART (very end, episode three). Osawa Takao actually has really nice teeth haha. And can you believe this is his first drama in three years? He’s been doing movies, sure, but what a way to make a comeback. In a great drama such as this (so far, so far).

    I don’t consider this a recap because it sucks and I didn’t discuss a lot of dialogue. I’m not sure where I went with this post, but the point of it all is: WATCH THIS DRAMA. It is probably the best drama to have come out of Japan all year. I dabbled in a couple dramas each season & none of them, except for Meintantei no Okite, were as enjoyable as this one turned out to be. Solid acting all around, good story from what I can tell so far …

    It’s obvious that I got very lazy towards the end here … I’m definitely doing brief brief summaries from now on
