Dragon Sakura ドラゴン桜 Season 2

Abe Hiroshi is definitely my favorite Japanese actor.  I've been trying to watch every movie and drama he's been in but with access to so many Asian dramas available, it's been at a stand still.  UNTIL now!

I have been patiently waiting for S02 of Dragon Sakura ever since I first read about it.  I have to be honest and say that it's been many years since I saw S01 and I don't quite remember any of it but I do remember I loved it.

I don't remember Naomi-san from the first season so I had to look it up and make sure she was the same actress from the original.  While I was researching that, I noticed Masami Nagasawa was the lead in the drama "Last Friends".  If you haven't seen that one, OMG, you have to!  I had such a crush on Ryo Nishikido at that time because I had seen him in "Ichi Ritoru no Namida" but I have to say, after seeing "Last Friends", I couldn't help but see him as his character, Sosuke.  I still had a crush but I could never forget him as Sosuke.       

Anyway, yes, Naomi-san from S02 is the original actress.  I think it's great that she returned. 

As I started watching the first episode, I was unsure if I was going to like it.  As always, it started out a little slow for me but once I saw Abe Hiroshi, I was okay.

I'm just about done with the 3rd episode and so far it's great!  I meant to come here and do a quick summary but I didn't have time.  Once I'm done with E03, I'll try and do it.  

I do need to go back and watch S01 again!
