Boys Over Flower

OH MY GOSH. I absolutely i cannot believe I actually forgot to blog about this drama the moment I finished this series. I must have been that busy then!

Anyway, I was the faster batch to catch onto the F4 craze when it was still airing in Korea. The day it was broadcasted in Korea, I watched it the exact following day. I was THAT desperate to watch. The craze reached almost the same level as Goong in SG which is considerered a huge success in my nation.

I've watched everything about Hana Yori Dango (from the manga, TW ver, all of JAP versions) and I'm definately stopping. No way am I going to watch the Chinese version. So, goodbye F4 for good!

But still, its muchly over-rated and there were some scenes of bad acting, bad cutting - the scenes don't match at times.

As you all know, the storyline is the same.. Four perfect rich guys. blah blah. However! This time round, I was a complete SO-EUL MATE! Meaning- Soujira + Yuki. / Ken Zhu + Rainie romance! Who cares about Domyoji + Makino, their story had been known forever.

So here's my favourite couple..

I was soooo into them, that I was reading their fanfictions almost everyday!

AND! I almost forgot about Lee Min Ho. aka Domyoji. he was never popular until this drama. I still remembered him looking darn cute in I am Sam beside TOP! The best domyoji ever. He's nothing stupid like the Japanese one, only that he's darn afraid of flying bugs. HAHAHA!

Ratings: 9/10 lots of scenes didnt match and I wanted to kill the PD for failing to make Ga Eul and Yi Jeong kisssss!!!

Hana Yori Dango: Final- the movie

FINALLY. Hana Yori Dango is completed. After the manga, season 1 & 2, and the movie.. I could take a break from Tsukushi and the F4. Heard that the korean Hana Yori Dango is coming out.. =/ why do they like to film this show so much?! ENOUGH ENOUGH. I'd be delighted if they would film an Ouran drama!

Back to the movie. The opening of the movie, I was disturbed by a crying child, screaming dad in the theatres. How unlucky! Somehow, I liked the idea of the filming in Las Vegas and Hong Kong but not skinny Jun running around along the shores of the deserted island. He's way too skinny and I've never thought he was suitable as Domyoji right from the beginning, it might be his weirdly tattoo-ed eyebrows in the show?

The wedding! It was absolutely hillarious when the lights went off and Hanazawa Rui became the priest infront of the couple.

Storyline wise, it was pretty disappointing- revolves around a tiara which represents their love. After the show, i was like "what? thats it?" Nevertheless, it was an excellent wrap, nothing was left hanging and now we bid Hana Yori Dango farewell..

Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2

oh wretched me. i've lost the zest to blog. it took me such a long time to start this post.


properly now, After 1 year a few months, I've finally finished Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2. It took me such a long time to start Hana Yori Dango 2 because after the manga (a long one), and a few episodes of the Taiwanese version (featuring taiwanese boyband F4) I've felt i've had enought with Hana Yori Dango.

side note: i'm watching Zettai Kareshi currently and Hiro Mizushima is so cute! HEHEHEHE. he's a dead ringer for Jun Matsumoto at certain angles but wayyyyy cuter. When I first saw Hiro on Hana Kimi then Jun on Hana Yori Dango previews, I was so certain it was the same person.. one of the reasons why i started this series.


Season 1

I enjoyed it so much even though some parts were from the manga, they did not follow entirely. Thats what I love about JDramas, they don't just copy directly from the manga yet keeping the storyline. I hate to say that I was more of a Hanazawa Rui (Shun Oguri) camper instead of Domyoji Tsukasa (Jun Matsumoto). Comparing sShun Oguri's role in Hana Kimi and him as Hanazawa Rui, I felt he fits perfectly into both roles despite the characters being different miles apart. Season 1 scenes were much sweeter compared to Season 2. Moving on...

Season 2
I brawled like a baby in the first few episodes. It was too sad, I was screaming inside "JUST GET TOGETHER WILL'YA!" I gave them 3 episodes to be together.. NOOOO i was wrong! Domyoji lost his memory about Makino in episode 9 when there were only 11 episodes in the series. I stopped crying at episode 5 because it did not get any better. However, last episode was really touching when he ran out to save her in the cold. OKAY, enough of spoilers. The ending dance was real cheesy and I'm having doubts with watching the new movie. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE SO MANY!!!!!
