"When you cut a fig in half, it looks like a heart. Thats why they say its bittersweetness is the flavor of love. But to me, the flavor of love, tastes like that lousy cookie you made.." - Domyoji Tsukasa, Hana Yori Dango

self declared drama addict & hopeless romantic.

watched Hana Yori Dango, season 1(9 episodes) & season 2(11 episodes) + Hana Yori Dango Final movie(2 hours), in 3 days.
so.damn.addictive.
whyyyyy, why did the series have to end?! T^T

in case you have no idea what i'm rambling about this time, i'll explain.

Hana Yori Dango, the j-drama version of Boys Over Flowers.
possibly, the most cheesiest drama created.. EVER.

summary by DramaWiki;

"Makino Tsukushi is the only poor student at Eitoku Gakuen, the school of the ridiculously rich and privileged that is ruled by Flower 4 or F4, a group of four boys who come from extremely powerful families: Domyoji Tsukasa, the leader and heir of the Domyoji World Finance Group; Hanazawa Rui, the introverted son of a large company; Nishikado Sojiro, a player who is the heir of a tea ceremony school; and Mimasaka Akira, a lady killer with ties to the underground. If a student gets on the F4’s bad side, he/she gets a red notice and is bullied and driven out of school.

Makino hopes to pass her days quietly-- without drawing any attention to herself-- but one day, she stands up to Domyoji in defense of her friend. The next day, Makino gets the dreaded red notice. Even though she is harassed, Makino decides to keep going to school because she is a “tough weed”. She declares war right back on the F4. Her resolve gets the attention of her crush Hanazawa Rui and oddly enough, rouses romantic feelings in her worst enemy, Domyoji Tsukasa."

poor girl- rich boy, bullying, love triangle(love square in season 2), love-hate relationship, forbidden love, evil opposing mother, revenge & more cheese. Hana Yori Dango, wouldn't be the way it is, minus the cheesiness.

out of all the HK & J dramas i've watched. this is the best, by a long shot. the storyline & character developments are amazing. Domyoji goes from a heartless, violent bully, to a humane, loving guy. this drama has made me cry & laugh so many times. it's so emotional & romantic. though it is unrealistic, it seems so real & amazing. the casting was carefully selected, & all the actors kept in character.

i am completely in love with Hanazawa Rui. he's so adorable & cares so much for Makino, even when Makino tells him that she doesn't want to go out with him, he continues to protect her & help her.

Oguri Shun, plays Hanazawa Rui. he also starred in another one of my favorite dramas. as Sano Izumi, the high jumper in Hana Kimi.

sigh.. only if Shirota Yuu, starred in Hana Yori Dango too.. <3

take care in holidays!
