Three years ago, the heart of Amemiya Hotaru, the 'dried up female', had settled on Takano 'Buchou', and the 'dried up female' was supposed to have grown up ... However, right after that, Hotaru was posted as a project team member to far-away Hong Kong. She was cut off from 'Buchou' and devoted herself to work. Then, three years later, Hotaru returns to Japan after finishing the project. She is assigned to the First Planning Department, where 'Buchou' belongs, and immediately begins work as one of the team members. However, both the staff as well as the mood in the company have changed a great deal.

    I didn't like this season quite as much as season one. I think it was mostly because the supporting cast wasn't as interesting. I missed a lot of the office people from season one. I also felt like the story was a little more repetitive. Lots of back and forth "Do I like him/her?" type stuff.

    But those are my only complaints. Hotaru and Buchou are just as cute and funny as ever, if not cuter and funnier. Their chemistry is amazing and Buchou's amazing character is helping Fujiki Naohito sneak onto my Asian Hottie List. ^_^

    So, basically, not quite as good as the first season, but definitely still worth it for the main couple. I can't wait for the movie!

    Hotaru No Hikari 2

    If the first season revolves around the love of the female lead, in this season, it is more focused nf the love the manager has for the Ahomiya (Amemiya)..

    It is romantic, funny (in some ways) and will make you realize that individuality among lovers is very important...

    Love and respect goes hand in hand...

    This season was funnier, but somehow I feel something's missing. Maybe it dragged a little or they missed a lot of opportunities with the OTP. Either way, I liked the first season better. Even though the last couple of episodes are probably the best out of S2, I was okay with Seno but then I felt he got too angsty towards the end. Anyways, on to the movie now :)

    I thought this season was funnier!!
  • Aggnes Feb 17, 2013
    Ok, I have to be honest... I kinda hate the second season. They missed a lot of opportunities to be a real couple, i mean they could be kissing since the first episode! For me it was boring i thought about dropping this drama 100 times! For me the manager showed more love than Ahomiya and for me this was sorta of sad, because in the first season she was more 'in love' with that other guy (that i can't remember the name). I don't know, but maybe the movie can be better...I hope so!

    Yeah, I'd say this one was actually a big improvement to the series. Season 1 was great, but the 2nd season is probably my favorite.

    Although I did like the first season I actually liked this one better. Reason being that I did not really like the glasses guy (forgot his name). If I could change anything however I would have not changed all the office workers, some of the old ones were better than the new ones.

    I still prefer the first season <3 I didnt get to watch the whole of this season because it kinda bored me and I somehow dropped it (even though Osamu Mukai was in it!)

    I like this better than the first one. The story of season 1 made me drop the drama a few times but this one keeps me wanting to watch the next episode. Their relationship keeps growing stronger, i like that.
  • BladeySteeleye Jun 2, 2012
    There are very few dramas that make me laugh as much as this one. Granted, number 1 was more funny. I hate sequeles but the second part was mpore like a seamless contunuation and Buchou and Amemiya are adorable..just less funny, but it;s still nice to see her make more progress haha. However, I am worried about the upcoming film...it;s like teypre trying to milk the franchise. I don;t know the manga....has anyone read the manga? does it story follow the manga and if so where does the manga end?
    • angelabsun Jan 13, 2013
      The manga is stil ongoing for English translations, and so far, she's still with Matsumoto, but he just found out she was living with Buchou. Also, buchou gets hit by a car or truck. He's alive, though. Oh, and there was some side drama with Hotaru's friend and a co-worker. Amemiya is just about to move out of the place, and it's almost chapter 50, so it's going a bit slowly.

    why am i having such a hard time looking for streaming vids for this drama ... i cant find 6th episode :(
  • JadeDarcy Feb 16, 2012
    I did not like it as much as the original one, but I thought it was a nice addition to the series.
  • BladeySteeleye Oct 21, 2011
    I really love the main leads in this one and the story of their living together. This one does a really nice job and it;s a memorable drama too.

  • LadyEclair Jun 11, 2011
    now this was fun, i can`t stop laughing =))i don`t think it was better or worse than the 1st season it`s just that here the relationship between the leads advances but the rest i feel that is the same. even so is a really good drama to watch when you`re feeling down or bored it`ll rise your spirits
