BOSS

Osawa Eriko (Amami Yuki), having returned from a US assignment, was tasked to lead the Metropolitian Police Countermeasures Unit, a new division created to fight against the increase in atrocious crimes. Her subordinates consists of supposedly the handpicked elites from the other units, but were in fact, troublesome personnels whom the other units are trying to get rid of from their hands.



Though her capability at work is undeniable, she has problems dealing with guys romantically related to her, which is the reason she, being in her 40s, is still not settled down.



Nodate Shinjiro (KYAAA!!~~~ Takenouchi Yutaka!! *drools*), the assistant counsel who initiated the Countermeasures Unit and recruited his ex-classmate Eriko as the BOSS, is a rather carefree superior whose only work he does in the institute is flirting with the ladies in the force.

*swoons*

Nodate plays the comical role in the drama, and together with Eriko and her bunch of incompetent subordinates, goes about changing the image of the Countermeasures Unit from a "rubbish dump" to an elite force through solving cases that buffered even the Major Crimes Unit.



In the finale, Sorimachi Takashi appears to give the viewers a throwback to the Beach Boys days.

Oh my.. how he had aged.. compared to Yutaka.

Other than the plot focusing too much on the crime investigation/solving aspect and not the actual crime scene, this series is good, for the ikemen factor (Yutaka Yutaka Yutaka! and ermm.. Tamayama Tetsuji and Mizobata Junpei). :D
