I must admit, this is a pretty good series. But it was a little too short... =//

The main girl was very cute. Although I didn't like the main guy until I watched another drama ("Kimi Wa Petto") with him in it. He's pretty cute too.

Overall it was good. But I think the Taiwanese drama series was much better than this.

Hana Yori Dango is the most addictive drama that i have ever seen. It is funny and sad. The acting is well done especially Oguri Shun who is my favorite actor. Even though it was kind of corny and predictable it is one of my favorites. I first watched this drama with some doubts but after watching the first couple of episodes i kept on going and was hooked because of the wacky characters, funny and stupid lines, and the sadness of it all.

I really wanted to watch this drama even after knowing what was gonna happen since I already read the manga. Hee hee. But omg. I'm so glad I did. It totally introduced me to the world of jdoramas and drooling over Matsujun for that matter >_~

Storyline is unrealistic, cliche and too predictable. Plot line moved way too fast, was tiresome to watch. I'd say the best acting in there goes to Tsukasa's mother who did a very good job at being evil.

azzwipe · 20 Apr 2006

The drama works very well and is very kawaii! Matsumoto Jun is just an awesome actor and I also really love him in Gokusen. Anyway definitely one of the better jdoramas out there!

Story line was a bit simple, the female lead did a great job. Was a forgetable story.

Silly, unrealistic, some dialogues don't make sense. Shun tried too hard to be dreamy! Typical Japanese ridiculous plot BUT superbly entertaining! Afterall it's manga right? Hahaha!

so nice!!! inoue mao + matsuJun act very well!!! can't wait to see the sequel!!! it's better than the taiwan's version!!! very highly recommended to watch and have!!!!

Pretty good combo with Matsumoto & Inoue, and they are so funny together. At first it was hard to get used to Matsumoto as a rich naive boy, but then everything fell into place. Inoue is a perfect fit for the girl with power, she played one in Kids War 4, so she's a great match to be Tsukushi.
I really like Oguri Shun as Rui, he looked so cool, and he became the eye of every girls dreams! I couldn't help paying attention to him, he was just always the most pronounced in my eyes. Oh and Matsuda as Nishikado was pretty cool too, his acting skills are very good, I hope to see him in more dramas.
I recommend for the fans of Johnnys and anyone that wants a good story of a powerful girl, who finally gets love. It's not a total love story, but it's so good that you can't resis watching it anyways!

the very best drama i've ever seen! i think i will never get tired of this jdrama. i mean i love watching drama (any kind..) but HYD? ohhh.. it's all-in-1.. everything that a drama could satisfy me are all in here. the cast are great! i'm addicted now. lolz. no one.. not a single one could do Domyouji character better than Matsumoto Jun. same goes to Imoue Mao as Makino Tsukushi.. ahahahaha i loved it when she gets so mad.. brings out the spirit.. I couldn't ask for more.. The best!

Kuroi_Tsubasa · 11 Apr 2006

i love it!
simply love it!
and how can i not when MatsuJun play sooooo great! <3
i love the anime but the drama is much better - Tsukushi is very sweet, likeble, honset, stuburn and Tsukasa (MatsuJun) is just aborable!
i enjoyed every minnet - so i highly recommend it!

I would've given it a 10. However, no offence, I seriously think that there is something wrong with Jun's hair in the show. I prefer the Sawada Shin look, or at least the Kindaichi Hajime look, despite the fact that Jun did a really good job. Anyway, Oguri Shun is so cool. Really good actor i must say. In comparison with Meteor Garden, I find this version more meaningful, the soundtracks were superb and everything came in at the exact right moment. Abe and Matsuda were good too, but they were a little overshadowed by Jun and Shun...

Jalapeno · 20 Mar 2006

I have never read the manga but saw the Taiwanese version "Meteor Garden". MG was ok, but I really thought Jerry Yan's acting was soooo lame. Everyone obviously was newbies to acting, except for Barbie Xu.

With HYD! OMG, it's a different story! I love how every actor was able to portray their roles well. Too bad I haven't read the manga (now I'm searching high & low for it!).

I'm not into pretty boys who can't act, (i.e, Takizawa in "Majo no Jouken") but Matsujun is really good at what he's doing. Seriously. I am very critical of my actors and Matsujun was really good at his portrayal of Domyouji. From happy to sad to mad, he was awesome. Although I'm not a fan of curly haired Matsujun but I guess that was needed in the drama.

Inoue Mao also struck me as a superb actress. She's really charming throughout the series. I can't wait to see her in more shows.

In the latter parts of the series the storyline went really fast. I wished they stretched the drama from 9 eps to 12 eps! Then they would've covered more of the manga. But it's all good. The locations, sets, etc were really thought of and perfect.

HYD is really amazing! I can't wait to see the sequel! I hope they do come out with it! And YES, it's heaps better than Meteor Garden. TRUST ME ON THIS!!! :P

Even though I have read the manga, watched the taiwan version, I still watched the whole series. The leading actress did a better job than the one in taiwan version. She is cute. The leading actor is not bad either. I like this version more.

JAP FREAK · 17 Mar 2006

i think it's much better than the taiwanese version.
i like matsu in it! so cute.

Shindou · 13 Mar 2006

Inoue Mao and Matsujun are a fabulous pair in this enjoyable series also starring Oguri Jun and Matsushima Nanako. Kaga Mariko was cast perfectly as the mother to Domyouji and provided the required amount of high-class attitude and animosity. The music suited the drama nicely and contained some rather catchy melodies. All in all, a rather satisfying series!
