Hana Yori Dango

Hey Hey!
So i've recently just started my winter intersession and it's been pretty tough trying to sleep early in order to wake up at 7 AM everyday.. haha Anyways classes are going alright, it is moving pretty fast already just for the first week.

SO.. since i've been having wierd sleeping habits, i've tried not to take accustomed in taking naps everyday, and in order for me to do so, i've been trying to keep myself occupied with things to do. So far, this week i've just been trying to watch some tv or anything just to keep myself up. Yet, the majority of the time my eyes start getting heavy, and it's hard to resist falling asleep. Then, towards the end of the week, my brother told me about this Japanese Drama called "Hana Yori Dango" that's really famous in japan, and how it's been posted on the internet so i could watch it. I decided to check out this little romance drama, and after the first episode i was pretty much hooked. Thier's nine episodes total, which according to my research, that's a pretty short season for a japanese drama. I finished the drama in two days. just non stop watching whenever i had free time. I must say, this drama is really good. Even though it's my first japanese drama that i've watched, it's one of the best dramas i've seen. Though this is described as a drama, thier are some comedy incorporated in the episodes.

Hana Yori Dango, is about a commoner girl, Makino, who is attending a rich private school. During her time there, she has an incounter with the richest boys in the school called "F4". What's starts this incounter, is when Makino has had enough of thier bullying, and decides to stand up to them, which results in a whole series of events that follow throughout the episodes.


This show is quite big around the world. I was looking up the show, and i came across a spanish and vietnamese site that were talking about this japanese drama. This drama is original bassed off of a manga, and was then put into an anime. Thier's also a taiwanese eddition called "Meteor Garden." Those have been going on for quite some time, whereas the Japanese drama of Hana Yori Dango only released a first season in 2005. I am happy to say that, because of the success of the show, Hana Yori Dango is set for a second season. The second season was just released this month in Japan. I guess i'll have to wait quite awhile, before the english dubbed version is out, but i'm pretty excited to see what happenes.
