I actually liked the ending of this movie. It's somewhat disappointing just like real life where you don't always get a happy ending. I was definitely tearing up a bit.
The episodes of the TV version are longer. The DVD version (the one used on Netflix) is shortened to 45 mins an ep. So the DVD version will be more than 48 episodes cause of all leftover scenes.
Her best friend has a cute face and I think that he also can be a part of F4 too. He blend well with these F4.
I thought so too! In the manga and the first MG, he kinda has a plain face so I was surprised that choose someone so good-looking. He's also more likable in this version.
kisskh claims that this version is a remake of the original one. But when I read the summary of Meteor Garden…
MGII actually isn't based on the manga at all (though it does have an amnesia story but it doesn't last as long). This remake probably won't cover MGII since its solely based on manga.
I agree with you on how they can expand it out to 48 episodes! Just watched the first 5 and so much has already…
This version is actually following the manga better than the others (so far). The manga is 36 volumes long so I could see that being 48 episodes since they're only at volume 4 in episode 6.
Nice article! I've only recently discovered Taishi in Hana Nochi Hare. I'm currently watching him in Yankou Karansha and My Little Lover. Now I can't wait to watch some of these movies you recommended ^_^
