Synopsis
This second season of Hana Yori Dango picks up right after Domyoji leaves for New York. After confessing to Domyoji, Makino has not spoken to him for a year. Rui and the other members of F4 try and help Makino meet Domyoji again by going to New York for the christmas holidays. Though F4 and Makino meet Domyoji again, he has become a completely different person, and so they leave for Japan.

Some time later, Domyoji's mother annouces that they will be returning to Japan. There, they hold a giant super-rich and classy birthday party for Domyoji and annouce something very important. Domyoji, like in the first season, is engaged to a rich girl and heir. The only difference is that they are to be wed soon. What will Makino do?

On the side, Rui begins to fall in love with Makino... will this become a love... square?

The second season of HYD is a lot less cheesier than the first season. Acting has improved a lot, and although first half was very cheesy and repetitive, it got better in the second half, with great guest appearances.
ARASHI's 「Love so sweet」 is P.E.R.F.E.C.T song with perfect match for this series. It made the viewing experience a lot better. Hikki's 「Flavor of Life」, however, was too emotional and serious for this series.

9. Decent sequel [Rating: 8/10]
HYD2 was highly anticipated given the success of its predecessor and as a result, I was a bit wary of a weak sequel as is often the case. HYD2 fortunately didn't deviate significantly enough to warrant major concern but it certainly was a bit less enjoyable than the original. There was too much teen angst and contrived situations that made watching the series sometimes rather unbearable. Overall, I'd say this isn't too bad of a dorama but you should probably only watch it if you enjoyed HYD. An 8 is probably a bit generous given that I'd probably put this more at a 7.5.

14. Highly Diappointed [Rating: 7/10]
I was disappointed with Hana Yori Dango 2, and not because I had high expectations. I actually didn’t have ANY expectations, considering that the second season is rarely as good as the first no matter the drama. The situations were too repetitive and over dramatic. Case in point: when Domyouji ran to the hospital after Makino fainted. The parents were in the room exclaiming to Rui just how much they appreciated his presence in Makino’s life. This scene came out of nowhere, and was far too random. Did her parents even know of his existence? There’s no evidence to support their expression. And of course, Domyouji over-hears and leaves, instead of doing anything about it. And lets now forget how Tama randomly pops up EVERYWHERE.

The series could have been MUCH shorter. They filled the space with misunderstandings and miscommunications and the plot seemed to go in circles without any breakthroughs or resolutions. Most of the show is just a waste of time.

Mind you, the series wasn’t completely unfortunate. For true Hana Yori Dango fans, this drama provided all the goodies. The characters were just as great, the soundtrack was awesome, and there a few good moments. The second half of the series improved so much so that it made up for the failure that is the first half.

I’m glad they focused a bit more on the other two members of F4 (Shojiroh and Akira), and gave us viewers an insight to their individual lives. It was good character development, even if minimal. Rui, for the first time, started to annoy me a little bit. It was hard to read him and he seemed so “blah” about everything. I understand that this is probably a character trait of his, but I personally didn’t like it and found it frustrating to watch at times.

Kato Natsuki was perfect as Shigeru − the unfortunate finance − but I think the writer(s) made a mistake in making her so grand. I started to like her best, and as a result, despised everyone else for using/hurting her… everyone else being the main characters of the show. I got all teary when they recapped her presence in their lives. She was terribly used and yet walked away with a smile on her face! It really made the other characters, like Domyouji and Makino, look cruel and selfish. Toda Erika (as Umi-chan) took the counter role. She was so nasty that you felt for Domyouji and Makino.

Anyways, I don’t feel like I wasted my time watching this, but I do wish there was more to it then just a rehashing or re-writing of the first series.

24. Different but still very enjoyable [Rating: 10/10]
This isn't quite as pacey as Hana Yori Dango Season 1 but still makes for very enjoyable viewing especially if you liked the first one.

Characterization and character development is given more focus in this series compared to Season 1 and I feel it's a good move as it distinguishes season 2 from season 1 and does not make this season feel like a rehash of old ideas form the first season.

It's amazing what good actors with a good script and a good production team can do. As was the case with the first season, nothing in the second can really be said to be that ground-breaking in the sense that they are both really pretty much genre products.

Still, even though Hana Yori Dango season 1 & 2 are very much standard romantic comedy fare, the characters are so well written and wonderfully performed, the script so logical and tight, the direction so firm and confident that you can't help but be drawn into the story.

So much credit must go to the two leads Mao Inoue and Matsumoto Jun because they really give so many layers to what could have be one-note characters. Both these young actors managed to convey the pain and the struggle of young people just trying their best to do what's right and yet at the same time preserve a modicum of dignity and pride so important to teenagers. Kudos too to Kaga Mariko for her perfect performance of Domyuji Kaede. Not only was Kaga Mariko able to bring across the ruthlessness and authority that Domyuji Kaede possessed in spades, she was also able to vary the look in her eyes so well that the viewer is always left feeling that there is more to her and in this way, Kaga Mariko was able to give her character depth.

Recommended.

25. Better than Expected [Rating: 10/10]
At first I wasn't sure how the second season of HYD would turn out. Since they already had included Ayano as the first fiancee, I wasn't sure whether they would still have Ookawahara Shigeru or not. I was hoping they wouldn't because she reallllly bugged me in the anime. But now, I'm really glad they still included her.

Kato Natsuki was the prefect Shigure, and I ended up liking her a lot more than I did during the anime. I'm sure they meant for everyone to hate Umi though, and they were pretty darn successful. Though the amnesia was an overload of cliches, it added nice touch for the near ending of the series.

I'm really glad they went into Soujiroh (I still have no idea what the proper spelling of his name is xD) and Akira's personal lives. I always felt they were under appreciated in the manga. And no offense, but Yuuki kind of annoyed me... a lot.

The proposal was VERY expected and cheesy, but still nice. The dance with the F4 was a great classic touch. It's seen everywhere in anime, but it always seems to make a great ending. As always, the actors were fantastic, and they acting was real and impressive. The music was great, and the insert song always seems to come in at the right moment.

Oh! And PS. Did anyone else CRINGE when Tsukasa ate Tsukushi's year-old cookie? I mean, it was touching and all... but the thing was a year old, probably hard as a rock, and possibly rotten. Fresh, homemade cookies don't have as many preservatives to keep them alive as store-bought ones do. I was surprised he didn't get sick after that, cookies can't last forever you know?

26. When it doubt, try communicating [Rating: 7/10]
A little disappointing but still full of somewhat calculated surprises, HYD2 ensures its audience is in for a few (or many) ups and downs as it begins with its stars in New York and generates a casual pace from there. The generic plot then develops giving Matsumoto many girls to sift through and Inoue...well, she just has her usual sulking to attend to. If only people would talk to each other? No really, if they did that in this drama, the show would be over after one episode.

27. totemo omshirokatta [Rating: 9/10]
The drama picks up from the last episode of season 1. It's actually a 2 hour seaon opener which explains why the first seaon had only nine episodes. It starts with Makino lost and alone in New York being robbed and about to attacked until her hero comes to save her. Could it be Tsukasa or somebody else?
Another excellent performance from everybody especially Inoue Mao and Matsu Jun. They got into their characters really well. Of course a few characters and guests were added into the series that made the drama more interesting. I liked Shigeru's character and how she always played an innocent villain all the way up to the end when she finally stabbed Makino in the back by lying to her only to take it back right away and play the heroine. They could have made Umi's character a little more evil but I guess they don't want her to be as annoying as Sakurako's character.
I was hoping they would have gotten deeper into Akira's background and maybe developed a sort of Gokusen story out of it. Instead they focused more on Shouichiro's love story. I was hoping they'd lay off Domyouji's violent scenes but I guess family entertainment is quite different in Japanese standards than that of American Standards. Seriously all these headbutting and beating up a group of guys by yourself gets ridiculous and redundant after a while. Because of my limited Japanese skills, I had to watch it in subtitles and was kinda disappointed with the translation sometimes. One of the funniest parts is how Domyouji is always using the wrong words or phrases in Japanese and I know it's suppose to be funny but it's not as funny translated.
Overall, I'm sad the series ended I kinda wanted to see more. the ending was the usual fairy tale ending but quite nice. HYD 2 is not a sequel but more of a continuation of the whole story so I suggest you watch it if you liked the first one. It's longer than the first one so you wouldn't be disappointed.

28. Pretty Good [Rating: 10/10]
[WARNING - SPOILERS]

I felt Season two was just as good as one, but I really didn't like how there were just so many coincidences and caused so much conflict out of sheer misfortune. In season one there was more comedy as well as a better storyline, and in season two it involves a lot more drama and serious parts.

The cast played very well as always, though I felt that Jun and Mao acted better in season one because of the fact that they seemed much more cheerful and funny. I like how we get to see more of Rui, Akira and Nishikada.

The music is great as always, I REALLY loved Flavor of Life, whenever I listen to it I feel the emotions rushing back to me from the episodes where I cried since the song always played then.

The story was pretty good (excluding the coincidences). Shigeru added a lot of BANG to the season because of the conflict - I'm sorry to say but I didn't like her as a character; she was super crazy, then all lovey-dovey, then all evil and back to goody-goody. I think that she caused too much miscommunication for Makino and Domyouji.

I would also have to say to people who claim this drama was very predictible, that I disagree. This is because there were many characters that could possibly have gotten together with Makino and Domyouji. At several points into the drama I really thought that Makino would get together with Rui and Domyouji with Shigeru. Also because of the coincidences it was hard to predict what would happen.

Overall season two was really good. The only person I reallllly HATED was Umi. Totally pissed me off when she stole Domyouji AND almost killed Makino. My favourite parts would be when Domyouji went all tense and started making dumb jokes - shakePEER LOL,(I think ep4 or so), the part when they see Shigeru off and Domyouji and Makino hold hands (SO CUTE FOR LIKE 5 SECONDS ;_;), and a bunch of other parts with Makino and Domyouji together.

The ending was beautiful; I felt very satisfied after watching it and I would have to say it is a very good drama - Makino and Domyouji FOREVER. <3

Didn't have any high expectations for the sequel because sequels never seem to do well. But surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I thought. More focus was given to the supporting characters and there's a bit more expansion on the plot thanks to the love triangle. Some scenes were not neccessary as they didn't serve any purpose to the story. If you're hooked to the first one, you'd definitely love this one too.

I found myself rushing to continue the Hana Yori Dango series and I was nicely surprised. :) The cast was even better with nice guest appearances and I'm happy to say that **MINI-SPOILER** all their hard work paid off. The interactions between the characters were very nice and the acting was good as well - though some things just made me wince. Then again, it's who the roles were, so who am I to complain? It's a really sweet romance and I can't wait for the movie to come out later this month! I HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

The difference of HYD 1 to HYD 2 is that, HYD 2 villains makes me more pissed. But the drama itself is nice! Just like the previous HYD, I first saw this on TV. Because of plenty of commercials, I finally run out of patience and bought a CD.

I swear, this season is better than the 1st one although both are really amazing! I love sojiro and yuuki here.^___^ And the ending (surprise!) is super good! Shun is also cute as always!
7. Comments by Hinano [Rating: 5/10]
Season 1 was way better. Season 2 is just recycled scenes from S1 and an endless loop of miscommunication that tries to get the characters into a conflict only to come back to the fact that "I still love you" crap. *sigh What a shame.

Yes, I do love this Dorama..I could watch it 1000 times and do not get sick of it. Oguri Shun is the most charming and sexiest guy, he knows exactly how to handle his role, MatsuJun plays the role of the rebel perfectly and Mao Inoue ist just a unique and great actress. The 1st season was awesome and this one becomes even better! You can expect a lot of surprises and new characters ! MUST WATCH IT!

I love this!! But I still think the 1st season's better (happens all the time, i know...)
Then again, their imaging were GREAT!!! Love the new Domyouji look, and Hanazawa's "White Prince" image... Soujiro too!! And Akira's family simply cracks me up!
26. Comments by Dr_Pain [Rating: 9/10]
Well for that - it wasn't that interesting like the 1st season but that was obvious right before the show started.
it's still the same problem so whatever happens it's not shocking at all cause you know that drama can't have a bad ending.
Don't ask me why but he has to be like that I think.
If you don't watch the second season it's not like you miss something important. okay maybe there is - Domyouji's perm. lol
but not more I guess. But for HYD addicts it's a must. xD
27. Comments by Nermal [Rating: 7/10]
Okay, now that the series finally ended last Friday, I will review this.

I am personally half frustrated about this series, half happy. And lord knows that everyone that praises this one so high really do it only for the cast of actors and not even for the story. Fandom... a scary thing!


Having read Hana Yori Dango for the first time almost 10 years ago now, this is still one of my favorite manga of all times, and not just me. It`s not exagerate to say that I had been looking very much forward to this series.

Now I thought in the first season that the directors had shot themselves in the foot by making it too short, and also leaving out key scenes. They left out so much that they had to "rewrite" a lot of scenes. For example, Sakurako abducting Tsukushi instead of Junpei doing it.

Now that left me very sour in the first season, and then in the second season, they come back with Junpei! O.O Why?? I mean Junpei had a fairly big role in the manga but they had already used his scenes with Sakurako. What now? Of course they had to rewrite that too.

In my opinion, they did too much rewriting and they lost the main idea along with it. Trust me, I am not the only one in Japan thinking this way. Yes it`s a nice series if it`s on it`s on! But you`re talking about Hana Yori Dango!

When did Tsukasa become.... lovable? Tsukasa was always an idiot in the manga... yet they managed to make him... endearing to an extent in the drama. That`s something I will never understand. -_-


Don`t get me wrong, it`s was a good drama in the making (and expensive) but it just wasn`t up to my expectations. I do salute the cast however for a great performances through both seasons!

Not too bad for a sequel. It certainly maintained the surreal Cinderella-like quality of the first season. However, the plots seemed to be less interesting due to the large amount of time dedicated towards dragging out the teen angst to an almost unbearable extent. If you liked the first and you want some closure, then watch HYD2.

HYD 2 was really good. Espeacially the last episode was really good *loves* Only sometimes they seemed to rush it a little bit and I think ... maybe, 12 episodes would have been better? But I still love it. But I give 9, because I liked season 1 more.^^

42. Comments by Susan [Rating: 8/10]
My first drama watched for 2007! The cast, as always, were superb in their roles. I enjoyed the slightly more serious tone of the series this time. But I felt like the love story between Makino and Doumyouji was far too drawn out. This became especially true in episode 10 when they began a new, although short-lived, love triangle! I felt like that story was put in just as filler. Still, the series was enjoyable! At last, almost a conclusion. I have a sneaking suspicion, however, that there will be series 3, or a special episode, in which even more hurdles crop up...

episode one was kinda jumpy.. too many scenes forcefully made to fit in one. BUT! i love how this version is so true to the manga and included all the best parts of the manga~ the ending scene was kinda corny, but the important thing is that it showed us how strong Tsukasa & Tsukushi's love is (as opposed to Meteor Garden II where Tsukasa actually fell in love with another woman.. >:( )

There is a reason why most great dramas don't have sequels. The first season was great, but this second one was horrible. I guess everyone just got tired of playing their characters. The acting was sloppy and the storyline was sloppier. All hype, no substance.

If i could give this series more than a 10 rating, i would. Every time i think about it, it gives me goosebumps and makes my heart flutter, seriously. I'm not one of those people who has never watched dramas and picked up Hana Yori Dango because their friends told them about it, then pretend to be an expert on the subject of dramas. On the contrary, i've watched many different dramas and feel i have a good point of view on the subject. This story of love makes me hope for true love and to fight for it. It's really a sweet story and makes me want to hug every character for their wonderful performance. 10/10, only because that's the highest possible rating. Kanpeki.

Pretty good (just like the first season...) I didn't like the last episode tough.... That "thing" that happen with Tsukasa over the 2 last episodes was really unecessary (at least imo...) it didn add nthing to the plot... and it was kind of silly and unrealistic....!!!
Well... in the end... Hana Yori Dango is a quite enjoyable dorama.. If u like the first season u ought to watch this one!!!

When I watched the first episode I'm not too fussed about it. I was thinking that I liked the previous one better, but like before I changed my oppinion and liked it.

I was just thinking.....
why do Hanazwa Rui always have to give and suffer the consiquences of Tsukasa and Tsukushi's actions?!!
78. Comments by dekatrain [Rating: 7/10]
A little disappointing but still full of somewhat calculated surprises, HYD2 ensures its audience is in for a few (or many) ups and downs as it begins with its stars in New York and generates a casual pace from there. The generic plot then develops giving Matsumoto many girls to sift through and Inoue...well, she just has her usual sulking to attend to. If only people would talk to each other? No really, if they did that in this drama, the show would be over after one episode.

The story got a bit heavy towards the end; too many unpleasant events happened...but it's from such scenes that Inoue Mao's acting really shone. Her crying scenes were brilliant and her eyes convey such sadness which broke my heart. Gosh, if anything, watch for the splendid performance by Mao, all the heartaches in-between is worth it.

Hana yori dango 2. Maybe just a little little less good than the first. But this is NOT A DRAMA ANYMORE. Hana dan is more than that. Every single second of it is magic. Yes, it's a fairy tail. There are no words to describe it unless HANA YORI DANGO.

It was kinda rushed in comparison to the first one and I missed some more emotional scenes, but all in one it was just very funny and adorable (I fucking love the main-actors... love 'em all... can never ever get enough of F4 and Makino!). And the end was jsut very very lovely... ^.^ (I could cry... xD It's over... oh I soooo miss them.)

April 2007: This sequel has way too many flashbacks, it's draggy and not funny anymore.... Seems like the producers running out of ideas to make the relationship between Tsukushi and Domyouji more tragic, it gets boring fast, whats the point of having Toda Eriko in the end anyway? Even though she's nice to look at lol. Luckily the hotness of Rui and Hikki's Flavour of Life made it watchable. Oh and Nanako =D

Wooh, this is cool stuff. The first season was so excellent and good, but this season is the double! The cast has really improved in acting, they are really good. There were lots of surprising moments, especially in the end. There were lots of times were I went "Uuuah! Noway... Who who who?! Can't be.. !"
It was really exciting and I loved and enjoyed every minute of this. Everything you wish for is in this series; love, evilness, friendship, hardship, amazing and exciting moments.. I got really amazed by the strong bond of love between Makino-san and Tsukasa-san. I kept reapeting myself "How can they love each other so much? How can such strong love exist? How is it possible? Is it only dorama or can this actually be real; that kind of love?". It makes you think and wonder..

I highly recommend you to watch this dorama! It's one of the most best. It contains lots of surprises that you didn't imagine could be possible.

Not as good as the first but still worth a watch and I still enjoyed it very much.
It was nice to see how everyone had moved on and developed since the first show and the ending was really sweet and well desrved... especially after the last couple of painful episodes.
MatsuJun made me laugh so much in places his character can be agressive and arguementitive one moment and hyperactive and childish the next.

I dislike the whole amnesia storyline, but good thing they kept that at a minimum. The actors are good. Shigeru wasn't annoying, altho Ume is. But it was easy to see how evil Ume was, which I liked...they didn't try to make her all nice and sweet. Again, Oguri & Matsumoto impressed me.

With all the misunderstandings and lack of communication between the 2 main characters, this series gets tiring. The inclusion of a couple of female characters are another factor that comes between them. Throw in some Korean-style amnesia and we're in for a frustrating time. Still, this drama wasn't bad, it was actually pretty decent. Though with all the eye candy here, I'm sure that a lot of people (female) rated this series higher than it should be.
127. Comments by ssie [Rating: 8/10]
i cant really understand those saying that this was a disappointment. actually, this is good for a sequel. of course, there are lots of complication so you can't really expect this to be way better than the first. but it was good on its own, more complicated scenes, more matured characters. must watch if you're looking for a closure.

actually, i really love this sequel. though i must admit that there are lots of draggy scenes, this is not totally absurd. love love rui in this show. and of course, my ever favorite tsukushi. i really think that she's a great actress.

As usual with sequels, they don't surpass the original. The main plotline's ok & if they would've kept it simple the result would've been better. Instead they added too many stupid incidents that only harmed the story.
Anyway, if you liked the first series, which you most likely did, you'll like this one as well. 8-

Au moins aussi bon que la premiere saison, malgre une fin un peu bidon.

The first season of HYD seemed unbelievably short to me, so I was ecstatic when I found out there was a second season. It definitely did not disappoint! Though I do feel bad for Rui though since he did not end up with Tsukushi (k thats not really a spoiler because everyone knew that Tsukushi and Tsukasa were gonna get together in the end!) xD

not as good as the first season i didnt think, they're pretty much parts of the same thing, so its still just as good really. idk

Great, but the ceaseless fighting and struggle between Domyoji and Tsukushi for their relationship to make happen got tiring for me. I wished it could be Rui and Tsukushi instead. I did not like the end, either.

The 2nd season!! I like this too, it's funny and has a great story!! Everyone is so cute in this too.
But I hate that selfish mom.....

HYD2 delivers! I had as much fun watching this as season one. The show is real eye-candy as everybody is soo good looking, from Makino to F4, from Yukie to Makino´s brother, the prettiest being Rui. I gave this a seven because the plot is not entirely convincing, even less then in season one and because the corny wedding proposal in front of 1000 people followed by a badly choreographed dance made me cringe. It simply doesn´t fit a though ping-pong couple and besides, they are way too young!

Hanadan 2 was great, kinda wished it would continue and i wanted rui to win!! But all in all it was good!

it's getting bored for the second season...it's so irritating. I keep forwarding the last 6 episodes.
152. Comments by Wynter [Rating: 7/10]
Not at all as good as the first one, but still decent enough. The last few episodes were grand.
153. Comments by DarthMoe [Rating: 10/10]
I definatly think that this season is better than the first. The first is awesome and very important in order for anyone to FULLY enjoy the second one. I absolutely loved this season and the ending was just perfect.

Acting was good, but the story was not... Just rehashing conflicts between Makino and Domyouji.. What a waste!

Looooving it!
162. Comments by G-Pjube [Rating: 9/10]
Great drama, I liked it even more then the first season because of all the plot changes and all the dramatic scenes. Although I find Domyouji quite stupid to choose for Tsukushi instead of Shigeru, but that are just some of my perverted thoughts. XDDD

But a really great drama though!

as requested, here is the oh-so-long-awaited HYDII~~~ haha. the first half was practically draggy and repetitive and pointless ^^; however the second half kinda picked up paced to compensate for the lousy first half. overall, still a nice way to end the HYD chronicles ;) no more HYDIII pls.

Toda Erika shouldn't have played Umi. I hated Umi so muchh!!

a really long expansion of season 1... i liked it because it had more character development... but the most of the stuff was dragged out so much. LOTS OF COOL GUEST STARS TOO!

Good, but not much different from the 1st season, and also I was cheering for Rui...

Great to see them altogether again. Love triangles are always enjoyable. Recommend it if you are looking for a lighthearted romantic comedy.

So nice! Very dramatic! Love it!
192. Comments by kneehard [Rating: 10/10]
At first I was afraid that this series would be a disappointment like Gokusen 2, but when I saw that the entire cast was the same as the original Hana Yori Dango that reassured me a bit. This series is better than the first one to me because it shows the development of the relationship between Tsukushi and Domyouji, with a bit more input from Hanazawa Rui, Nishikadou Soujiroh, and Mimasaka Akira. And I love how the drama showcased more of Yuki.
193. Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10]
Hmmm, a little slow to start with the Shigeru saga but picked up slightly towards the finale. Despite all the fighting and rejection between Tsukushi and Doumyouji, it really is a sweet sweet love story between them. The insert song, Hikki's Flavor of Life, is a must-hear song. :)
194. Comments by CuPxxCaKE [Rating: ?/10]
i love the cast... great story and good ending ^_^ i can't wait till the movie comes out
195. Comments by shortmei [Rating: 8/10]
It was surprisingly good for a sequel. Although I think it would've been fine without a season 2, it was refreshing to see the cast once again. I liked the fact that it still stuck to the manga somewhat. Pleasant drama, but I hope they don't try to make it into a trilogy.
196. Comments by xiong_here [Rating: 6/10]
...yep, I watched it....the first was more enjoyable than this one. HYD2 felt too rushed, plot lines felt like they were smashed together and some characters just didn't work. Just because you have a cute face doesn't neccessarily mean its going to work out. I think it had a lot going for it but somewhere along the lines...like...episode two, it lost its charm and well...for completeness-sake I had to watch it. (Just like I had to watch Star Wars Ep.II and III....)

So much expectation and yet got pretty much disappointed.
204. Comments by kireiyuhi [Rating: 9/10]
The first season ended in a good enough place that you don't necessarily need to watch the second season, but if you do have time to watch the second season, there's no doubt you'll fall in love with Hana Yori Dango all over again. Even in such an unrealistic setting, the feelings, worries, and problems are very much real. Now that I've seen such a great drama, I expect the same out of all jdramas.
