Hotaru no Hikari 2-10! jdrama. So news of a 2nd season popped up last week, and I vaguely remember not finishing the first season (It had to compete with Coffee Prince back in 2007). I'm glad I came back to this. Hotaru Amemiya played by Haruka Ayase is a hard-working, admirable OL working at a design company. One day her boss played by Naohito Fujiki moves into her home, since it is the home owned by his father. He finds that Hotaru is a slob at home and thinks that she is a 'dried-up' woman who has given up on love. He learns to live with her, and actually encourages her with her crush. The first episode didn't really appeal to me, but it gets increasingly fun to watch the teasing between the two main characters especially when they can't really bring themselves to change their personalities or habits. The supporting characters are pretty nice, too. I enjoy comedies where there aren't unnecessary conflicts that take you away from the main story (*sigh* kdrama). I'm looking forward to the 2nd season. There are some cute manga scenes that the initial 10-episode series didn't cover. I hope the father comes to visit in the 2nd season. ~8/10 rating~ for cheery fun. It's amusing how much Naohito Fujiki looks like the manga character. Must be the wrinkles. ;)
