Finished watching My Boss My Hero a couple ago. This 10 episode JDrama finally came to an end. It started out amazing, but the slowly lost its touch. The ending was rather bad. Here’s more info on it:

The English subtitles for this series came out rather slow (serveral weeks behind), so I ended up watching it with Chinese subtitles released by G.P.S. which you can find on D-Addicts.
Spoilers: (Show)
So I mentioned this in one of my earlier posts. Story’s about a son of a Yakuza boss going to high school in order to become the next boss and the rest is just his hilarious encounters, like flying over rooftops to get pudding, falling in love with a 18 year old (he’s 28), crying in front of the masses, and finally getting accepted as one of their own.
There’s really not much more to say then it was a really fun series. Though like season 2 of Veronica Mars, it appears to have many loose ends that hasn’t been tied up. I’m guessing it’s meant for season 2.
Like who was the old lady? At first I thought it was Sakaki’s mom, but it turns out not to be. What we learnt so far is that she and Sakaki’s father are what I believe to be lovers (as Sakaki’s father comments that she’s still so cute) and that they haven’t seen each other in over 20 years. She doesn’t know how old Sakaki is, so she must not be the mother.
Then there’s the ending, where Hikari asks Sakaki that when she grows up to be an adult, would he give her a date (do remember, there’s a 10yr age difference). Sakaki says that when she does grow up, she’ll be a fine lady, and he won’t match her anymore (配不上). Though he did promise her a date, but then turns around and tells her that Sakura (Sakaki’s first friend in the school and Hikari’s friend since babies) has feelings for her.
Here’s a clip I wanted to share:
Parent Teacher Conference – when Sakaki finds out that there was going to be a parent teacher conference (really parent teacher student conference – 3 person conference), the above is what he imagined would happened.
The final episode of 結婚できない男 (Kekkon Dekinai Otoko – The Man That Can’t Marry) was just released. Awaiting subtitles currently and will be done with another series. At first I liked My Boss My Hero more than Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, but as the story progressed, Kekkon Dekinai Otoko was a much better story and Kuwano-san has quite a character. From what I hear, HKenshin wants to be just like him.
