While waiting for the last few episodes for Zettai and last friends, i had also completed watching "My Boss , My Hero" . It really is darn funny!!!!! I havent heard of anyone who didnt think it was hilarious after watching it. (Watch here)
The whole drama had me laughing in stitches every time. Every spare moment I had, i couldnt wait to finish the next available episode because the guy is such an fumbling idiot but loveable dude.
The story basically revolves around this guy Sakaki Makio, also known as "Tornado" is a tough 27-year-old high school drop-out. He had lived his whole live with intention to take over the clan and everyone feared him as he never lose a fight. He is the 3rd heir to the Japanese Yakuza clan but because he is so academically inadept and screwing up billion dollars of deal for his dad, his father the current ruling Yakuza head decided to force Makio to high school. Only upon graduation will Makio be allowed to take over as the next head, otherwise the post will go to his younger brother Mikio.
So this dude had to pose as a 17yr kid and if his cover is blown, it would be the end of his high school career as well as his hopes to become boss. Things start out rough and tough as Makio's short and violent temper is tested. Initially he was thinking he was going to "kill" everyone that "screwed" him ard after he leave school especially the "Iron mask" teacher, the school bully who extorts his money etc. It was hilarious! As the lessons and days go by, he learnt there is much more to school than just tests and studying.
Also, he slowly learnt that his father had other intentions apart from wanting his sons to learn his ABC and 1,2,3.
I love Nagase Tomoya role in this and his expression when he is stumped is totally funny and laughed my socks off! He is so believeable as a dumb but inspiring guy who really tried his best. At the very first episode when he said "No! No! No!" to an offer of 35billion was so funny, because he was counting with his fingers, thinking 35 is less than 27 billion! haaa haa. Then when he started school, his obsession with the school's limited pudding was also pretty funny.
While it is a no brainer show, no cute pop idol, no special effects, no IQ gimmicks, yet I would still recommend this to anyone who is looking for a light hearted, family entertainment. The lead actor really excel in this role and the supporting cast especially his Yakuza "brother" Kazuya was equally endearing.
Just for tickling my funny bones alone, I would rate it a 7.5/10.
