you know i still cant get over the part where domyouji bites nishida's ear, i thought he was gonna do a mike tyson and tear it off, i was sorta disappointed that he didnt
this is my first jdrama but i think the acting for HYD is really good , its not too dramatic or not dramatic enough. After watching sailormoon live i was a bit hesitant in watching this, but im glad i did. i never really got into the GTO drama because i thought it was kinda overdone, and that some things cant really be really accomplished live. HYD on the other hand would seem more plausible and seeing it with real people does give it more, uh, "Umph" to it.
dunno if i made sense
maybe i'll get into jdrama, maybe. though its more likely i'll just wait for japan to produce another manga/anime based drama

Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2005 2:42 pm Post subject: The secretive smile
I have another question. During the scene where Tsubaki went into her mother's room to tell her the result of the TOJ, when Tsubaki said that a promise is a promise (or something like that), she has this secretive smile as she finishes her conversation and walks out of the room. It is a smile that hints at she is planning something. I could almost see a twinkle in her eyes too.
Can someone comment on this or just straight out tell me that I have overdosed on my Christmas shopping and needed to get some sleep to make up for deprived rest.

well i kinda knew what was gonna happen at the end due to new siggies popping up and new wallpaperags w/o spoiler tags...

she does have that secretive smile and twinkle in her eye but i think its jus cuz she knows that perhaps makino has already affected the mother's heart and whatnot...
anyway maybe this stuff should be in spoiler tag.. i dont wanna spoil this epi for anyone.. it was a good one.
but still left me a lil unfulfilled... wahh jun _________________

I FINISHED! I FINISHED! Finally! Gah, I'm so late.
Wow, I'm so sad to see it go.
about the "takosuke" thing- the funny part about that is in the manga "octopus head" (or something to that extent) was one of Makino's favorite things to call Domyoji, because of his hair. So hear him call HER that is just bizzare, ironic and amusing.
and now for the fun part!
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:
y'know that little part of me that adores happy endings really wanted them to change the outcome of the TOJ pagent and have Makino win, and then get Baba-sama's blessing and then Makino and Dom would frolic off into the sunset aruging the entire way. But they didn't, and that was ok too. Her talent was GREAT. The part where Domyoji bursts in and tells people to shut the hell up on his mega-phone was SOOOO RANDOM! But oddly enough, it made sense since it was Domyoji and he's a nutjob and filthy rich and he can pull off shit like that. Anyway it made me laugh, and then grin like an idiot because as bizzare as it was, it was still a very sweet gesture. Watching Makino play with those kids reminds me of the years I spent teaching 3 and 4 yr olds at church, so tiring, and you look like a freak most of the time, but still very fun.
I didn't care what he had to do, I wanted Domyoji to show up at that damn party! And sending Rui to go see Makino in his place when he said to go meet him was sneaky too. And she speant alll that time picking out an outfit and baking... Well at least Rui set her straight. Was I the only one that thought Makino's running past all the airport security was funny? They were just talking away, and she gets out of the car and runs right in. And then Baba-sama's random white bodyguards/business partners??? let her through to the runway. And YES IT WAS THERE. The final fashion disaster of the series!!! It was for a split second and probably because if we saw it longer than that our eyes would like- melt in their sockets or something. I'll probably make a cap later, since I know a lot of people were holding out for subs.
But it was in fact:
LONG
PINK
TRIMMED IN SOME SORT OF ANIMAL SKIN/COVERING (Black fur or feathers)
and he paired it over that purple printed dress shirt thing w/ flowers.
He doesn't disappoint.
The last scene with them together, I think it would have been nice to see Makino make a move for once. He's always grabbing her or something, but like- this was the point where she realized that she loved him and she was telling him that and he interrupts her Not out of character, but still I kinda wanted to see Makino finally kiss him after saying she had "something more important to tell him" (y'know that whole "actions speak louder than words" schpiel put into practice) all that other talking could have been said later, but yeah. It was still a good ending even though I totally felt like the sun was in my eyes. Shizuka coming back was really random, and so was stalker-Yuuki! They actually hit it off in the manga! And Akira/Sakurako=weird. I'd rather see him w/ Okami-san (but I'm biased because she is one of my fav characters in the drama "Jooooooohn!" )
I can't believe it's over! There better be a special!! I mean they can at least throw us a bone right?
Oh and it's official. Baba-sama's eyebrows are on two different physical planes.

minna-san, just finished watching HYD Ep9 with eng subs. Altho' i've watched it already with chinese subs, was way too busy trying to read the subs and catch the action at the same time, watching it again with eng subs, i still cried. i absolutely adore
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:
1. the sunset in the background. altho' many people have said that the sunset thingy is so cheesy, i still felt that it added that romantic feel to the kiss.
2. the kiss (with the sunset in the background). yeah sure we cldn't actually see the kiss but it was good enough that i could see lip/chin movement.
i have a question, gomen-ne if it's a stupid question. why can't domyoji enroll makino in the same university that he'll be going to? i'm sure the fees and living expenses etc would just be a drop in the ocean for him. technically he'll still be obeying his mother cos he'll be studying management but at the same time he'll have makino with him right. why must they spend 3 years apart? pardon me if it's a stupid question, i'm just too affected by HYD.
(thanks from the bottom of my heart. this drama brought back the warmth of human feelings to my cold heart.
my husband died last christmas eve, and since then, i've lived each day without a feeling of touch in my heart and of course, nowhere close to a flutter. While recalling the process where my son and i were being healed by jun throughout the drama... i became aware that i was being attracted to jun's charm.
in the drama, his happy face, lonely face, angry face, gentle face, no matter what face, is great.
if it's not for jun, this won't be such a great series, right?
"pleasure is a possibility." my son is also becoming happier. we started searching for all jun's past shows. we started to like arashi very much. as mother and son, we share the pleasure of buying their cds and dvds together. who knows, my husband in heaven would be surprised... but, i'm truely thankful to jun kun.
thank you for for giving me back the happiness and joy of being touched and all the wonderful sensations that was once lost to me. from now on, i will always love/support jun, arashi.
looking forward to seeing more from everyone of you.)

*speechless*
And that pink Jacket at the end...I was laughing so hard ~ & then Makino running down the run-way made me laugh even more.
I just hope Jun gets a new drama again soon so I have something to look forward to every week.

i think it must feel great to receive such a mail, to know that by your acting you've managed to move people. sigh! well done jun-kun. ganbatte ne! we are all waiting impatiently for your next drama.
maybe that's why jun-kun took it off before he got onto the plane (letting it be an eyesore to us for just that few seconds before it was whipped away from sight forevermore).

hi everyone
I'm new to this forum
I love this j-drama Hana Yori Dango very much!!!
In the last episode,
I think it will be better if the background music of the shot that Doumyouji hugs and kisses Tsukushi was Planetarium, but not the intrumental one.
I made a "Planetarium version" for that shot
Please download and watch it if you're interested it

Sorry. I just thought this was minor and not giving away the story much.
