remember the hospital in HYD2? the one which Erika Toda's role started? it is the same hospital as in the Liar Game (episode 1)


NO WONDER! I was feeling deja vu when I saw that hospital in Liar Game... :sweat: Thanks for clarifying! ^-^

I totally agree with you. Her character sucked in this drama. But then again, she was the necessary catalyst for the end. But I still hated her role!

:victory:


LOL it's true I guess she certainly did add DRAMA to the last couple of eps XDDDD and it did make the ending seem more worthy ^_^

oh ya i thought that was so funny lol she was just there!!

i also hated her character in HYD2 but wow she pulled it off very very well. very convincing. i also didnt like HYD2 as much as HYD1, but it had its moments. i just... dont want a HYD3 to come out, its too much.

halow everyone...
This is a very good drama, beside the story there is also other thing that make it a cool drama, the costume of F4..
compare to MG, HYD is much2 more cool!! they really look like a milionare.
I've watch the first and the second season, they never put the same clothes, every day they change their outfits and it always look good. if you see they wear something like this then u will never see it again the next time in the whole drama.
the producer surely spent lots of money for this film.
I wonder is there any website or thread that discussed obout actors-actresses outfit..

^^^^

agreed! they're clearly handsome and their clothes were like signatured-style. BTW, im currently watching chapter 5 of season 2 so who's that Umi character? i still havent seen her. based on your posts she really seems an interesting character and i would love to be spoiled even a little. :woot:
11 May 2007, 20:27 #4309
actress played as Umi is Toda Erika, I think u should know her.
she only appear on two last ep.. just be patient

Just finished! My Review: 7/10

I was disappointed with Hana Yori Dango 2, and not because I had high expectations. I actually didnft 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fs life. This scene came out of nowhere, and was far too random. Did her parents even know of his existence? Therefs 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ft 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fm 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 gblahh about everything. I understand that this is probably a character trait of his, but I personally didnft 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c 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ft 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.

This wouldn't be the first time for a drama... A cheap attempt for a fast buck, IMO.

Yea, it definitely seemed like the whole series was just an excuse to re-use the characters. :shakehead:
