Hotaru no Hikari 2

Hey Everyone!

So, I finished a new drama recently, called Hotaru no Hikari 2. It was a sequel to Hotaru no Hikari from a few years ago. I really liked that drama, so I was excited to watch this sequel to see where things went. The main plot of the first part was a 'himono onna' (girl who wears sweats at home and is lazy and messy, but at work very professionally dressed and hardworking) named Amemiya Hotaru, and how she randomly ends up living with her boss (she calls him Bucho = boss in Jap). It was a cute love story, where they became closer as they got to know eachother under one roof. However, at the end of the first season, she left for Hong Kong for 3 years. In season 2, she returns and the two get engaged. However, there are obstacles, such as the other guy (Osamu Mukai!!!) who falls for her kwirky personality and hardworking self. Though she wavers a bit, she realizes she loves her roommate more! So, in the end, they do get married, and she stays a 'himono onna' even after marriage. Again, very cute, but not as good as the first season (typical conclusion). I give season 2 a 4 out of 5 stars.

I'm off,
