My Boss, My Hero

I wish this show's rating can be anything higher than 10, its just so sooo good. It makes me relive my high school moments, all the moments in this show are the best. AND OMG HIS BABY FACES ARE JUST SO FUNNY AND ACCURATE, LIKE IT JUST CAPTURES THE ESSENCE SO CORRECTLY. Its a really emotional ride, the character development is so good and accurate, there are less good words to speak how loving this drama is. The opening and ending OSTs are really good. Please give this show a try, you won't regret a thing. This show is just so wholesome in all senses, it makes you feel so alive. AND AT LAST - THE YOUNG MASTER HAS ARRIVED.

I completely agree with others 5-star rating. this show is so awesome it's like the best show i've watched in my life. funny, inspirational and deeply emotional at the same time.

My general knowledge about Japaese TV is rather limited, as in non existing. Sure enough, I know something about Japanese movies, mainly of Kurosawa's work, so I really had no expectations, when a friend suggested "My Boss, My Hero" to me. And despite some of the cultural references fly over my head, as a comedy oriented drama the series really was a pleasant surprise.

Sakaki Makio (Tomoya Nagase) is a bit slow, yet furiously strong member of Yakuza crime family, that his father is leading with a firm hand. After Makio blunders a huge deal his father decides to throw his 27-years old son back in high school to get some wisdom is his head. So from that forward Makio must pretend to be a 17-years old and study, while he tries to balance between his other duties as an upcoming third boss of the family.

The comedy is a mixture of situation comedy, that arises from the whole fact of 27-years old pretending to be a 17-years old, and slapstick. The episodes are reasonably well balanced, but some episodes are more drama oriented than others and all in all, the series is a pleasant experience despite I have clear gap in my understatement of Japanese culture.

I wish I can give 100 rating this show is the by far the best comedy show you will see <3 i still can't believe this show ended so quickly : ( perfect show, there are some emotional moments in the last episodes which made me cry like a baby the acting is awesome by far the best acting The comedy is a mixture of situation comedy, that arises from the whole fact of 27-years old pretending to be a 17-years old, and slapstick.
