Hana Yori Dango

Tsukushi and the F4, from left (Nishikado Soujiro, Hanazawa Rui, Tsukushi Makino, Doumyouji Tsukasa, and Mimasaka Akira)

Hana Yori Dango is a japanese shojo manga series by Yukio Kamio. I guess if you watch Meteor Garden, the story is the same. Its about a poor working class gal who attended an exclusively rich and high-society school named Eitoku Academy. The school is practically dominated by the F4 knows as flowery four;

1) Doumyouji Tsukasa, the hot tempered, richest and leader of the F4

2) Rui Hanazawa, a violinist, quiet and the most handsome guy (to me) and Tsukushi's 1st love

3) Nishikado Soujiro, the heir to the largest tea ceremony practitioner and an unrepentant playboy

4) Mimasaka Akira, seems to be the heir to the largest mafia group and he likes older women as his two twin sisters and mother are actually very childish.

Tsukushi decided she wanted to keep a low profile in school but when she tried to save a friend who accidentally provoked the F4 leader, she practically lead a life in hell at school. Her only pillar of support and her 1st love was hanazawa rui, one of the F4 members who is in love with his childhood friend Toudou Shizuka while Tsukasa later fell in love with her but due to his high egoness, and always losing his temper was a major turn off to Tsukushi.

Over the course of the series, Tsukushi's feelings for Tsukasa evolve, and she begins to appreciate the degree of change that occurred in Tsukasa once he fell in love with her. He becomes fiercely loyal to Tsukushi and believes in her beyond all doubt, and slowly gets her to see him in a different light. The physical obstacles and emotional challenges of their rocky high-school courtship form the basis of the story. Other themes include Tsukushi's attempt to fit in at the school, the problems of her family's lifestyle and income, and the decadent lifestyle of upper-class Japanese girls.

A recommended drama if you are looking for comedy and romance series to kill time. I dont feel bored watching it all over again. Just like spongebob. Lolz. Here are my 2 favorite characters which i have developed feelings for them while enjoying the drama. *blush blush* This kind of dream will never come true. *sob sob*

My most handsome boyfriend,Doumyouji Tsukasa; real name Matsumoto Jun. He is also one of the members of a boyband - Arashi which sang the opening song for Hana Yori Dango Season 1 and Season 2.




My second most admired person,Tsukushi Makino,real name Inoue Mao

MuahX to both of them for making a successful drama series for Hana Yori Dango. Love you both so much. Thanks to Arashi too for coming out with a song who made me addicted listening to it without stopping.

~Never hear the same song for 24 hours a day. It will gett into your head and you can't think of anything else other than get a headache~
