Hana Yori Dango

I just finished watching Hana Yori Dango, another Japanese Drama. Great production. Funny and light hearted.

Especially amazed at the props, with castles and cars and clothes. The setting is good, I like the park with the row of advertisement best. The main actress is quite cute, must find out her name sometime.

The amount of violence is actually more unbelievable than the riches. There is this guy bashing anyone and everyone up when he feels like it. Must be a deliberate adaptation from the manga it was based upon.

Romance-wise, it is not as touching as in 1 Litre of Tears since it is supposed to be light hearted. Sweet, but they do not seem to really need each other. It also does not leave as lasting an impression as the previous two I watched, 1 Litre and GTO.

I guess it is unfair to compare, might even be my preference. Still, I think it is a really good drama to watch and highly recommend it.

Might be watching Nobuta wo Produce next, another school-based Japanese drama, when I find the time. And when I am tired of the school genre, I might watch Long Vacation or something else older.
