Hana Yori Dango is a very solid series that deals with growing up, finding one's place in life, and not letting anything get you down no matter what. Tsukushi is the kind of character that you can't help but root for, because you know she's doing the right thing. And each episode reflects that - she even makes friends out of the F4, even when they're fighting, and they end up seeing her as much more than an adversary, but a genuinely cute girl who (gasp!) thinks for herself. She refuses to be subservient to them (she knocks out Tsukasa a couple of times), and they don't know whether to be irked or awed. She's not intimidated by the fact that they're the sons of company presidents, politicians, and entertainers that they're so powerful that school faculty practically kowtows to them. It's as if the F4 wasn't really complete until there was someone to really challenge them. Or, alternatively, be a love interest
well, for me, HANA YORI DANGO is one of the best. All the Jdoramas ive seen are all great! Ive seen gokusen 1 and 2 and like hana yori dango, it’s the best. All I can say, is that you should not miss an episode of this drama cause it has a very nice story. I always tell my friends to watch it. We always text each other about the show. We’re all addict in this drama. The cast are also great. I like Tsukasa ( Matsumoto Jun) a lot more than Rui ( Oguri Shun). Makino Tsukushi did a great job also. The episodes are great even some scenes are unrealistic. Yet, I watch it to get some lessons about love and everything. It’s a mixed genre of romance and comedy. Love it a lot. I just watched it last summer. Ive read that it has a sequel. Can’t wait to see it. All in all, I love HANA YORI DANGO very much. I love the story, the cast, the love triangle or love square I thought, the episodes and everything. Thanks JDorama for this very beautiful drama.
