One of the best drama I've ever seen. The casts are wonderful espcially the five main water boys, their united friendships made the impossible possible. Every episode is entertaining, funny and meaningful. I've been skip watching Water Boys 1, and went straight to the very last episode. In my opinion, comparing the two Water Boys drama, Water Boys 2 is a lot better than Water Boys 1. Starting from the opening credits, WB2 looked a lot more professional then that of WB1. And the ending of WB2 is moving and very emotional compare to the latter. The syncronized swimming moves performed in the last episodes show some similarities to WB1 and the WB movie. If you think WB2 is a duplicate of WB1 then I would say WB1 is a duplicate of WB the movie. In WB2, the synconized swimming moves performed were some what more advanced and at times a lot more difficult. This is esp true for the 5 levels tower that almost all the WB took part of. Water Boys the movie didn't have the tower, and Water Boys 1 had a 4 levels towers, but fewer people participated.

The new version of Niji sung by Fukuyama Masaharu was just wonderful and perfect for WB2 theme song.

The casts in WB2 are fairly well known. Great chemistry for the five main WBs. They are energetic and lovable.

Water Boys 2 has higher public viewing ratings then Water Boys 1, but the difference weren't too drastic. I highly recommand Water Boys 2, and I do like it a lot better than Water Boys 1.

Think this is better than the previous one, "Water Boys". Watched this is because I like Teppei and Keita but after watching the whole thing I found out that Ichihara Hayato is the most attractive and funny character, his facial expression is very cute, especially his smile. =) But then I am not quite happy with the ending of this drama and also the theme sond which is exactly the same as the previos one.

I liked this story, it may have been a sequal to the first dorama, and also followed the movie, but it was still a great comedy which was one purpose for it.....Even though I can't compare it to the first dorama series, I still say Ichihara and Ishihara were a good combination, but a little bit of confusion as to where their relationship as cousins, was going....
Ichihara, Nakao, Saitou, Koike, and Kimura were all good parts to play as clumsy synchro swimmers.....the only thins I didn't like was the over ascting of the boys...whenever they had a serious, or exciting moment, they tend to have over acted it a bit, making it look synthetic as it shouldn't be.....but over all I liked this dorama, though may not take Ichihara seriously anymore....

Waterboys 2 is basically a clone of 1. It throws in almost the same roles played by different characters. I cant help but feel disappointed when i keep finding blatant similarities to 1. They also made it even more far fetched this time, although its supposed to be a happy go lucky show, i think they kinda overdid it abit.

small spoilers: (eg. 5 main characters/they always go to a bar/2 girls who likes the main character/alot of the moves during the final performance was the same as the first one/even the main theme is reused, albeit rearranged, and i yes prefer the original version of the song used in 1.)

This sequel only beats the first one in one aspect: eye candy. This time the main cast was really good eye candy, beating the first show totally. Other than that, i think the first show beats this sequel in every aspect.. I was touched when i finished seeing the final performance of 1. But not 2. Cos the final performance had too many moves similar to 1. When i saw them for the first time in 1, i thought "YES! they finally DID IT" , but it just isnt going to work when u do it a second time, almost copying moves from the first time.

I would only recommend this if u missed 1, though i would instead just go look for 1. Or u can watch it just for the eye candy. Its really good eye candy though.
