I saw BOSS dvd with 50% off during my visit to my favourite japanese dvd shop. I read the synopsis and the casting, hmmm...I bought it and give it a try. Never heard about this dorama from my friends who love jdorama, but after watching it for 2 episodes, I totally love this dorama and spread the news to my fellow jdorama friends..Amami Yuki looks so charismatic and kakkoi here and she is the BOSS of the weird detective team. At first, the team is falling apart but the BOSS try to build their relationship from one episodes to another! The crime scenes and cases they have to solve is ery compicated and keep me guessing uneasy..As a thriller jdorama fan, I really enjoyed this dorama so much and BOSS is my favourite dorama of the year, 2009! The storyline is great, suspense and sometimes funny while the casting is superb. |

Old theme with a new twist. I like the cast and shooting style more than the story, though I applaud the story for having a mix of suspense and humor to keep things somewhat interesting but still lighthearted. The storyline kept on getting more and more cliche and cheesy, but episode 10 brought a new twist that really came out of no where and took me by surprise. I thought it was going to have a dramatic ending based on what happened in episode 10, but the ending turned out to be hilarious, which I think goes along better with the rhythm and flow of the entire dorama. So the surprising ending plus the appearance of Sorimachi Takeshi in episodes 10 and 11 made it semi-worthwhile to watch the entire show for me. Love the Beach Boys reunion!!! ^^ |

This was overall a fun series with a great cast. The episodes were fairly suspenseful with a good amount of comedy, though the series lacked firm character development as a whole. Even the great group of actors in this series weren't able to do much with characters that didn't seem "finished." The ending was too melodramatic (and painfully unrealistic at times) for my tastes. As a matter of fact, the entire series had a "cops and robbers" feel to it. The series has definite entertainment value, but it doesn't go much beyond that. |

My favorite of the Spring season this year. Turned out to be a very fun yet suspenseful drama. The cast was brilliant, the cases were intriguing, the guests were excellent (Yamada Takayuki for 2 whole episodes?! Weehee!) and seriously overall the making of it is also very well rounded. 2 thumbs up! |

the first ep already blown me away. the profiling and pyschological analysis are very interesting to watch. Erika Toda is also very nice to watch. |

Surprisingly good. The characters were all well written and acted. The ending was a little... weird? Still a good ending though. |

wonderful casts |
| 19. | Comments by gaijinmark [Rating: 7/10]
The last three episodes were some of the best in any drama, if the rest of the drama were this good, I'd have given this a 9. Unfortunately, the first eight episodes are so lame, it gets a charitable 7. |

Star power (in a good way not in a Smap dude way) + mystery + style = excellent drama??? Wrong! What a wasted opportunity - somebody shoot the scriptwriter and the people who greenlighted this. It probably deserves a 6 but I am particularly harsh as most of the actors have quite good to excellent dramas under their belt so the disappointment is double. Triple if you think of how successful this bland police drama was. This season's Rinjo is not flawless, but much better! |

Nice cast, interesting plot. The best drama of the season |
| 24. | Comments by nickylynn [Rating: 7/10]
The last 3 episodes were really good. Wish Takenouchi Yutaka was in it more. His character was fun and he done it well. It was fun to see Sorimachi Takashi in the last 2 episodes...he looked so cool. ;) The cast had some moments that were really amusing. |

good story, but sometimes ruined by the idiot character of Nukumizu Youichi. |

Interesting cast. Witty in part. Something left missing though. |
| 31. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 9/10]
The highlight of the series for me was the interrogation scenes and their play-acting, that scene on episode 1 triggered my interest and curiosity for the next episodes. The idea of having different types of people work together is nothing new but having a boss like Osawa Eriko who is an excellent detective to command them and has many tricks up on her sleeves really stole the show not to mention Takenouchi Yutaka’s weird character. The many twists and turn of events makes this series fun and at the same time hilarious, and I must say that the ending really did surprised me though I was hoping that it would eventually turn out that way because I don't want to hate *that character*. |

Flashy, simple stories, couldn't get into the characters. |
| 34. | Comments by chibichan [Rating: 9/10]
Always a fan of Amami Yuki, the story of her as the boss of bunch of unwanted detectives but in the end they are make the turn and become the great team. The story and the casts are great... |
| 35. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 8/10]
Amami Yuki really pulls this drama and the cast together. While there are a number of things that don't really make sense in this drama, the episodes go by and you get rather entertained by the stories. Probably could have developed a bit more both with the character development and with the plots but certainly not a bad job. |

I love every moment of this drama!! All the guests are incredible actors!! I hope that there will be a second season. Amami Yuki is just a fantastic actress!! So forceful and cool~~ |
| 37. | Comments by d0npian0 [Rating: 8/10]
At times I thought everyone was trying too hard to make it look cool, so at times I found it hard to take serious. I did love the cast and the characters' funnier moments though and I have a soft spot for detective dramas in general, so it's still an 8 for me. |
| 38. | Comments by KAZdoramma [Rating: 5/10]
not bad,, a light watch japanese dorama |
| 39. | Comments by kyunspark [Rating: 8/10]

love the veterans. I've always been impressed with Amami Yuki. And Yutaka has been one of my favourite actors. I need a break from the young'ins' dramas and enjoy those stars who shines back then in the 'pevious generation'. The earlier episodes however wer not up to my expectation since I expected lots from the combination between Amami Yuki and Yutaka but was given with few lame episodes which forced audiences to believe in the superiority of Eriko's (Yuki) character when I was not convinced for a bit. They are not really 'WOW' afterall. But then I somehow fairly enjoy the injected comedy, and was amused by Nodate's (yutaka) weird character. And what have been making me rate this an 8 has lots to do with ep7/8 onward because it was even funnier because of the characters and interaction of the crime-sumthing-section's members. And the case has also gotten pretty interesting towards the end. it's not an overall good story, but the few last episodes make it up for me. oh yes the shooting style, cinematography is very interesting. caught my attention really. |

All the characters in this drama were so fun and amazing. I love Osawa Eriko. She's possibly the most kickass female character ever. Wish the cases in the beginning were a bit more entertaining/interesting though. |
| 43. | Comments by docalion [Rating: 10/10]
Unexpectedly great! After losing hope of finding worth watching jdoramas, I stumble upon this one and tried seeing it. And i can't believe this is really great! Amami Yuki is surely superb! She's really the Queen not only in the classroom but also in Police Force!! Try this one!! Superrrrrrrrr Recommmmmmmended! |

Solid drama, got much better as it went on, would rate a 6 up until the 6th episode, then close to a 10 after that. Nice guest appearence by Takeshi Sorimachi. |
| 45. | Comments by Sorata [Rating: 7/10]
This was an ok dorama, nothing outstanding but nothing really bad at the same time.
The acting was average and the same to the plot; some episodes were better than others, specially 9 and 4-5, those 3 were really great.
Episodes 4-5 were so intense and Yamada Takayuki really brought his A game for the episode 5, the guy just rocks; episode 9 was good too, the plot was a lot like Fight Club but still good.
The female main characters, Eriko(Amami Yuki) and Kimoto(Toda Erika), were really annoying, i love both actress´s but i really can´t stand their characters in this, they were never funny and when they tried to be serious they failed big time(specialy Kimoto).
I´m a guy but i have to say that i enjoyed the male characters much more, all of them even Hanagata(Mizobata Junpei). Yamamura(Nukumizu Youichi), the gay one(can´t remember his name and Nodate(Takenouchi Yutaka) allways cracked me up, really funny characters, they made Boss much more enjoyable.
I rate this a 7 because i was entertained, but episodes 4, 5 and 9 deserve more than 7. |

Wasn't the most hilarious but the twist at the end earned it an extra point in my books. |
