This totally did not end the way I thought it would but it was still really good. It did have a lot of flashbacks just like the review said but they were not impossibly long. I really liked how it had so many twists. I didn't think there was one episode that was really slow or unnecessary which makes it a good drama in my books.
Did you know that Pocky now holds the record for largest biscuit mosaic? It's a giant picture of Ninomiya Kazunari's face when he's being the devil for one of the new Pocky ads. It's really cute actually and Nino looked really shocked when they dropped the curtain.
Mine were Yamato Nadeshiki Shichi Henge, Hana Kimi (Japan), and Hana Yori Dango. We had been reading the Wallflower manga that YMSH is based on so when one of my friends found the live action we jumped on the bandwagon. I have to agree with you. The three rule is true. For me, I fell in love with the music from HanaDan so I went out, found the song, found Arashi, and never looked back.
This is my favorite article I've read on MDL. I found it so funny I printed it out so I wouldn't lose it. It's going on my bulletin board to remind me why I'm so crazy as to wax poetic on guys who don't speak English. Major Props!
I actually started with Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge because my friends and I loved the Wallflower anime and I continued on with Hana Kimi and HanaDan while my friends remained in the anime club. It's gotten to the point where they have no idea what I'm talking about unless I'm watching something based on an anime though they did enjoy the live action Ouran. Thanks for the tips. Maybe I'll get to watch something with them again!
I go through slumps at the end of every season when Japanese shows are switching over. I found that going back and watching something from a few years ago that I missed really helps tide me over. Most recently, I finished Lucky 7 (totally agree with you BTW) and wasn't watching for about 5 weeks when I picked up my laptop and watched Goong. All of a sudden I'm back in drama mode and ready for winter shows and Arashi's new CD!
