男的不坏，。。。My boss My Hero
If you like Japanese anime in general, you might love this drama: My Boss My Hero (2006), a Japanese drama serie adaptation of the korean movie My Boss My Hero (2001).There is the typical case in which the character of the male lead resonances loud in the plot. Well, the male lead makio is "LOUD" and hard to ignore. For the typical exaggeration, you have him flying after being kicked in the face and his body, contorted in the most unbelievable of fashion. Very nostalgia of anime... Then, you have the typical plot about friendship, the belief to protect everyone around you and, YES!, to be a HERO. This story is about the story of the baddie turned good, and how in the end, he not only gains his self-belief, and also the belief of those around him.
At the age of 27, this son of the triad leader returned to high school study against his will, but in the end, he fell in love with school life, which he branded as his search for 'youth', or rather lost youth for his case. In the process, he experienced his many 'first' like his first love etc and you can imagine how ignorant he had been before. Along the way, he saved his fellow classmates both physically and spiritually and became their leader and their hero not by instilling fear but by his driven never-say-die attitude and persistent forceful actions.
Well, if you think this is one role model to be modeled yourself after, then you will be in for the shock of your life. First of all, he is so moronic it is almost unreal. He is the guy who cannot think over a matter for more than 90 sec. When he is in deep thought, he rolls up his eyeballs. When he wants to hide away from the view of someone, he would do as what the ostrich does: hide its head in a pile of sand. Get what I mean?
Nevertheless, I was impressed that there is yet someone still (Nagase Tomoya) who possess rubbery facial expression like that of Jim Carrey. Note how he is able to morph his facial look akin to that of an orc in warcraft to scare off people. However, I find it disturbing to notice that split personality between him being a student in high sch and a triad leader. So, which is his real personality and which is not? Can both coexist to be who he really is?
Maybe you should be your own judge...
