HANA NOCHI HARE: HANADAN NEXT SEASON (2018)

Well, apparently Japan came out with a sequel. Sounds iffy but as a fan of the brand I must take a peek as it is now available on VIKI. F4 have graduated as has Makino Tsukushi. The school is suffering with a decline in funding (farfetched since these students come from the filthy rich) and student enrollment.

Meet the CORRECT 5 or C5 are the students of wealthy families and they patrol the school to rid it of commoners which happens to be Edogawa Oto who's father's wealth diminished due to bankruptcy. Oto continues to hid in the shadows (though briefly) making her the new Makino.

Meet C5

Kaguragi Harato: The gorgeous leader of C5. He's a joke. Gorgeous...yes. Wealthy...yes. Good Body...sure ok but he's truly a joke. He accidentally beat someone by tripping over his own feet. A later fight has him biting to scare off an offender. Domyouji would be so proud.

Taira Kaito: A bespectacled tech wiz. Nothing special to speak of yet.

Maya Airi: C5's only female member. She's pretty and shallow sounds about right.

Narumiya Issa: Tall, Blonde and Rich. And into the arts.

Eibi Sugimaru: Tall, Handsome and athletic.

@pose4photoml it's from 2018 Japan Boys Over Flowers Season 2. This was the same year China released it's remake of Taiwanese Drama METEOR GARDEN with the spectacular Dylan Wang and Shen Yue as Daoming Si and Dong Shancai and F4 (Hauze Lei, Meizuo and Ximen)

Oh, Haruto. Your poor, innocent little heart.

I’m happy for Tenma and Oto but look at his face! It is really hard to decide who to ship when you love all of them. Can’t they all have happiness?

“Hana Nochi Hare”

129.

Title: “Hana Nochi Hare: Hanadan Next Season” (or “Boys Over Flowers Season 2”) Genre: Romance, School Season: Spring 2018 TV Station: TBS Theme Song: “Cinderella Girl” by King & Prince; Insert Song: “Hatsukoi” by Hikaru Utada Starring: Hana Sugisaki, Sho Hirano, Taishi Nakagawa, Tatsuomi Hamada, Marie Iitoyo, Mio Imada, Jin Suzuki, Keisuke Nakata Date Finished: February 5, 2019 My Personal Reason for Watching: Hana Yori Dango Second Season?! Yes, Please!

(^^ DOMYOUJI CAMEO!!!)

Hello again! Today, I’ll be reviewing a drama I was anticipating to watch and finally did—“Hana Nochi Hare” (a.k.a. Hanadan Next Season!). 

As many of you know, this is the sequel to 2005’s “Hana Yori Dango.”  Closely following the plot of the original, the main character, Oto Edogawa (Sugisaki) is a student at the elite Eitoku Senior High School.  Unlike Makino, Edogawa was actually born wealthy, but due to her father’s company going bankrupt, she was faced with a life change--going from a rich lifestyle to a poor one.  She works part-time at a convenience store to support her family while her father works away from home. 

The only saving grace for Edogawa is Tenma Hase (Nakagawa), her childhood friend and fiancée, who is bound to marry her if she attends Eitoku until she turns 18.  Hase is a student at Eitoku’s rival, Momonozono Academy.  In order to stay at Eitoku, Edogawa cannot be found by the C5 (the “Correct Five”), who are known for “peasant hunting” and making students drop out if they find out they aren’t really “rich enough” to attend Eitoku.  The leader of the C5, Haruto Kaguragi, is known to be ruthless, but when he meets Edogawa, his cold exterior melts and a love triangle is formed.

(^^ I didn’t know slamming a roast beef over a guy’s head would make them fall in love with you, but good to know!)

As a sucker for the original, I have to say that “Hana Nochi Hare” did not disappoint! I really should be too old to get sucked in to the drama of high school students, but it’s too addicting to watch! Both guys in the love triangle—Kaguragi and Hase—were two viable options for Edogawa and unlike the original, where Domyouji and Makino were meant to be, I could see her with either match! Hase was so perfect and sometimes I thought he was too good to be true.  Kaguragi tried to look cool, but he was a secret dork, which made audiences everywhere fall in love with Sho Hirano! 

(^^ Dressed as a cowboy for a pancake date because your horoscope told you western clothes were your lucky item, Kaguragi? You are too cute!!)

However, as expected, Kaguragi and Edogawa’s chemistry made me root for them until the end!  Even though Airi (Mio Imada) was unbearable in the beginning, I loved that she became Edogawa’s friend and her love for takoyaki was so cute.  Even Edogawa’s rival for Kaguragi, Megurin (Marie Iitoyo), was too nice that you couldn’t really hate her (even though her cooking skills were awful!).  I loved the friendship of Edogawa, Airi, Megurin, and Edogawa’s co-worker at the convenience store, Konno (Haruka Kinami). It showed that there can be strong female friendships in dramas and it’s not all about the guys. 

(^^Tako-pa Time!!)

The other special parts of the drama involved cameos from various cast members of the original Hana Yori Dango including three of the F4!  Getting to see Domyouji (Jun Matsumoto) and Rui (Shun Oguri) again even just for a minute had me so nostalgic!  Sojiro Nishikaido (Shota Matsuda) also made an appearance in the last two episodes and, even though, Akira (Tsuyoshi Abe) was mentioned, I wish he appeared so we could see all F4 (and Makino, too!!).  

(^^ Hanazawa Rui?!)

My only complaint about the drama was the ending.  It all seemed to wrap up a little too nicely.  Also, we didn’t get to see a Edogawa/Kaguragi ‘happily ever after’ ending at Ebisu Garden Place! So disappointing!  Also, the way that Hase just let Edogawa go and she was quick to say, ‘I’m in love with Kaguragi,’ was a little too fast.  Also, what about Hase’s step-mom, Rie? She seemed evil throughout the whole drama but didn’t do anything.  Hopefully, there will be a sequel and we can get some answers!!

(^^ Ebisu Garden Place…the spot where it all began!)

Overall, I highly recommend this drama!  It’s just cute and romantic.  If you’re hesitant as you love the original and don’t want it to be ruined, you’re not alone. But I would recommend giving it a try and watch it as a stand-alone drama.  It’s perfectly capable of being a good drama all on its’ own. 

Favorites: Favorite Character: I gotta give it to Kaguragi! His inner-dork makes that cool exterior fade and now I see why everyone loves Sho Hirano! It’s partly because of that voice! Favorite Episode: When Edogawa and Kaguragi go on a double date with Konno and her boyfriend.  Favorite Scene: Kaguragi and Edogawa’s first date.  Edogawa and Kaguragi’s double date. Domyouji/Rui/Nishikaido appearances. Any flashbacks or throwaway scenes to the original.  So many to count!

(^^ I noticed that I’m putting to many Kaguragi screenshots, so here’s one of Hase because he deserves love, too ^.^)

“Hana Nochi Hare” Rating: Story: ✭✭✭✭½ (1/2 a star taken off for the ending, but up until then, it was so enjoyable) Acting: ✭✭✭✭ (All of the young actors were great in their roles! I never heard of any of them before this drama, but looking forward to seeing their careers take off!) Theme Song: ✭✭✭✭½ (“You are my Cinderella Girl, my precious one!” Could not get this song out of my head after watching this drama) Total: 13/15

Next Up: “Monte Cristo Haku” or “Hibana”

(^^ Love these two)

Hana Nochi Hare. Episode Seven.

I am kinda liking the angle that she’s so invested in the happiness of others...her Mom, Hase Tenma that she actually trying to snuff out and not acknowledge her own feelings of romantic love for Kaguragi Haruto.
