Hana Yori Dango Movie
April 18, 2008
The Hana Yori Dango movie will become the end finale to the hugely popularized drama adaptation of the actual manga itself. I’m pretty excited to see this seeing how Season 1 completely blew me away. Ultimately, Hana Yori Dango is one of my favourite JDramas of all-time.
The only thing that irks me was how everyone seemed to hype about Season 2 and I was just caught up in the hype, I didn’t realize how draggy of a series it was. Frankly, Season 2 was just a pain to view. I basically skimmed through the episodes, hoping to see something that was entirely appealing to me.
I’m thankful that they’re planning to make this movie. However, I’m quite worried that my expectations for the movie will not hinder my viewing of this movie.
One thing that intrigued me was how they filmed this movie in Hong Kong. Just by chance, I was thinking of travelling to Hong Kong. Perhaps, I would have been able to see them filming? Lol
Hana Yori Dango will premiere in the summer of 2008, which is coming up pretty soon. So for those who have not watched the commercial clip, here you go. See here

wow, I hadn’t heard about this movie… this is great! HYD is definitely one of my favorites too. It only loses to GTO, and then maybe Nobuta wo Produce… I’d have a hard time choosing between Nobuta and HYD… And I liked Season 2, especially the last episodes…

Season 1 and 2 are like night and day but are both excellent, IMHO. I was really pissed about the early part of HYD2 but by the end of it, I was very moved. Basically, Season 1 is all about two people falling in love and not knowing why. Season 2 is about two people doubting their love, questioning whether it was real or just a fling. It’s a tortuous process but at the end, it is well worth the wait. The last episode is probably my all time favorite J-drama episode, and I’ve been watching since the mid 90s!
