Watching Shiroi Haru ep 4. The show isn't perfect- not crazy about the directing and the frequent reuse of the same flashbacks over and over,I don't like the way the 1st 2 episodes were directed eithe ... |

Only watched the 1st 2 episodes. Ep. 1 was OK; although it's hard for me to relate to and rationalize some of Uchino Masaaki's actions. Anyone who has worked in a big corporation for years w/ fully ... |

Watched 2 episodes.
The good:
- Fujiki smooching the ladies' feet.
- Best score of all the Spring dramas I've watched (I'm a sucker for Latin-Flamenco music).
- Natsukawa Yui, and pretty solid ... |

Boss is stylish, glitzy and beautiful but that seems to be both its strength and weakness.
