MUARHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAR...
KIMIA IS HERE AGAIN TO BLOG ABOUT ANOTHER JAPANESE DRAMA.
XD

Title : Hana Yori Dango
Leads : Uchida Yuki, Matsumoto Jun
Genre : Romance, drama

Basically, the romance in this story is rather typical. Girl and guy were initially enemies. The girl found the guy arrogant and filled with hot air. Whilst the guy thought the girl was a normal looking and poor commoner. Makino Tsukushi (acted by Uchida Yuki) was a commoner studying in a prestigeous school filled to the brim with the sons and daughters of the rich. All she wanted was to keep a low profile and complete her studies, so she went against her principles and tolerated with the haughty and arrogant ways of the rich. Leading the students of the school is a group of four hot guys who come from the most prominent families in Japan. This group, called f4 or flowers4, is led by Doumyoji Tsukasa (acted by Matsumoto Jun). Doumyouji Tsukasa is a hotheaded rich-ass bastard. He issues something called the "red notice" to whoever who angered him and the whole school will beat up the poor person who got the notice. After which Doumyouji would take on that person by himself. One day, he gives Tsukushi's friend a red notice. Unable to withstand this arrogance, Tsukushi then punched him right on the face. This however, roused romantic feelings from Doumyouji! And thus starts a whole series of romantic interludes, enriched with interesting plot twists and light comedy.

What i really liked about this series was how Doumyouji was willing to change because to Tsukushi. Because of his love for her, he changed his personality. From a proud and arrogant idiot to someone who was willing to accept critism and takes responsibilty for his own actions. Matsumoto Jun brought out this character really well. That cold and haughty look when he was giving someone the red notice, the embarrassed look when he tries to do something nice for Tsukushi, and that professional look when he was making business proposals with clients. Matsumoto Jun has a really special smile that makes the Doumyouji chracter look even more idiot than he has too... It also makes the Doumyouji character look more charsmatic than he has to. Being a really experienced actor as he is, he really melds into the role he is acting and enriches its character with a little of his uniqueness as well. This drama was really enjoyable. Both the main actor and actress had really realistc facial expressions which i loved ALOT.
