Hana Yori Dango I and II
I somehow finished the last season of Hana Yori Dango yesterday. I had started it last summer and then stopped in the middle of the sixth or seventh episode. Yesterday I started watching again from the 8th episode and finished the season. Then I thought that I should watch season two since everyone just seems to love the drama but… I did a My Girl with this one. I watched the first episode (Well I watched the first half of the first episode and then I skimmed the last half) and then the second half of the last episode(okay I skimmed that too). I really couldn’t condone spending that many hours on a drama that was already driving me crazy from episode one. I’m know I’m in the vast majority by not liking this drama.
It’s just that I can’t bring myself to like Domyouji’s character. Domyouji is an obnoxious brat and Makino has really bad taste in guys because there is nothing good about Domyouji’s character outside of the fact that he likes her. And then there’s Rui, who Makino keeps calling “Hanazawa Rui”, can she be anymore formal? Rui and Makino are much better suited for each other in my opinion. But I know I’m in the minority about that as well. I don’t know exactly what happened in Season two and I’m not to concerned about finding out (well, I might read a synopsis).

watch the taiwanese version, meteor garden instead (if you haven’t already). the acting is just as bad as the japanese version (if not more), but there’s surely more eye candy (yeay?)

Oh gawd, I couldn’t stand Hana Yori Dango either..
Yay for being Taiwanese~
I did finish Meteor Garden though :0 I liked it at the time, but then I was like.. 10 so I didn’t notice any of the bad acting haha. I guess what drove me to finish the series was of the fact that I’ve actually met the actors before

Don’t feel bad, I rooted for Rui all the way to the last minute. I kept thinking somehow it was going to work out… but it didn’t. The only time I liked Domyouji was when he waited for her in the rain. That was most possibly the cutest thing I’d ever seen.
