Yup, a quote from my favourite drama, Hana Kimi 8D Not that I hate the Taiwanese version but the Japanese version feels more complete. Here’s why:
Nothing and absolutely nothing can beat this version. I was captivated the moment I watched it. The most addictive part in Japanese drama is that unlike in Korean dramas, there are much more feelings that jealousy and romance in it. There’s teamwork and life values as well as lots of humour (if it’s not a melodrama). Hana Kimi portrays romance, friendship and teamwork while keeping to the plot if high jump unlike in the Taiwanese version where I thought that the focus on high jump was too minimal and focused mainly on the three characters. I was laughing in every episode of the drama but it actually made me CRY in the last episode. The farewell was so…real. The ending of the Taiwanese version left me very unsatisfied. He never told her that he had known she was a girl.
Nakatsu is the one of the most adorable characters in the series. He accepts the fact that Sano and Mizuki love each other and his internal rants are hilarious, especially the first one in the Special episode where Sano put the chocolate box on his head 8D And you definitely cannot NOT love the dorm heads…Nanba-senpai is the definition of HOT, Tennouji-sama and his Baby-ies are so cute and Oscar is just too humorous when he gets possessed. Like the time he said, “Hey..um,huh…hey!” to Julia and then they stared at him like he was nuts. He then shook his head and touched the pole before getting electrocuted XD Then, Nakatsu rushed to him and “Masa-OH!” LMAO before Nakao got caught and then Nanba *Kamen rider kabuto pose* rushed to the rescue, joining the electrocuted Osaka boyz 8D I love them soo much.
Osaka gakuen is amazing. Along with the school doctor, photographer, principal and Director Sawatari. Not to foget Kagurazaka, who thanks to Sano, became gay XD The funniest part with the doctor is when he vomits incessantly LOL. I wish my school was like theirs. The school is huuuge but there are only three dorms and EVERYONE is involved in the drama. Their togetherness was shown in their Girlfriend cheerleading dance, the time they took photographs thinking the school was going to close down and when they wanted to save Nakatsu from the teacher.
Hana Kimi is a MUST WATCH and the SPEICAL episodes too. You won’t regret it 8D
Yup, so I pretty much gave away some funny parts but it’s worth it 🙂 Now, moving on to 1 Litre of Tears, ranked my second fave drama. Why? Let’s find out.
So many people say it’s amazingly emotional and touching. I try it out and find that it is. In one of those rare forms you never knew could happen. Aya is a girl who is affected by an incurable disease. Ok. So before we even start watching, we know that the main character will be sad. At least, that’s what I thought. But this drama is depicted in such a way that’s it’s so vivid. It was real. It happened for this drama was based on the true story of Aya Kito, who lost her life at the age of 25. The actress portrays the sadness, fear, love and all the emotions she was experiencing at the time. Her parents’ and siblings’ love for her is shown as well. I cried, not because others said they had cried too. I cried because I felt how painful it was and that’s how you know this drama deserves ten stars. As usual, I gave away the plot XD But at least, I’ve explained my feelings.
Now, on to the Korean drama. Now people say Secret Garden is one of the best but I simply found it a bit boring. No offence, but I think my tastes are slightly different. Spy Myung-Wol, at the time I was watching, was still airing, so I was anticipiating but as I watched, I sort of feel now that it was a bit too impractical around the last episodes. But nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Some of the best are, I think, Full House, Goong and Playful Kiss, as well as City Hunter and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. And thank anime for my interest in drama 😛 I watched Itazura Na Kiss (anime) and heard about the drama so I watched the Japanese drama before watching Playful Kiss and finally the Taiwanese version 8D So, I’ve used Bold on the drama I liked best 8D
Merry Christmas,
Aidi
