BOYS OVER FLOWERS (2009, SOUTH KOREAN ADAPTATION)

In all versions our female lead Jan Di (Makino Tsukushi/Dong Shancai) falls head over heels for second male lead Yoon Ji Hoo (Hanazawa Rui/Hauze Lei)

Their story of love has no chance for a few reasons. Ji Hoo (KIM HYUN JOONG) is viewed as autistic with very little interest in the affairs of others. Though he walks with F4 seemingly proudly he is not on board with their practices (ie bullying) but he doesn't care to stop it or help anyone until Jan Di (GU HYE SEON)

Also he is hung up on his first love yet she doesn't see him that way. So after the first love leaves and he follows her later to return heartbroken. And much more interested in Jan Di.

By this time Jan Di has fallen for Gu Jun Pyo (Domyouji Tsukuba/Daoming Si) and though completely enamored by Ji Hoo initially she can't quite see him the same anymore. Though he is less toxic and a lot more caring without a overbearing mother to disapprove all the way.

However Ji Hoo never stops looking out for Jan Di. Even as Jun Pyo is promised to another woman in matrimony. A woman who like F4 seems drawn to our female lead Jan Di (Makino Tsukushi/Dong Shancai)

I think we did get the closure with our OTP - tsukasa and tsukushi wedding and I'm not just talking about the Japanese drama adaptation of Hana Yori Dango aka Boys Over Flowers manga but also bcz Yoko Kamio did draw and share the wedding pic at the end of the Jdrama installation.

And the latest one of tsukasa and tsukushi wedding in Yoko Kamio's blog and her YouTube channel in 2023! 💖💖💖

I get it that the wedding art shared with the end manga volumes or the last 2 special installments shared on 2007 would have been way better but at the time as usual with weekly serialisation mangakas... She was burned out but thankfully with fan and her staff/family's love and support she ended the manga story much better then most.

And she even shared a few times that she can't draw and get uncomfortable drawing lip to lip kissing scenes and wedding ones too.

I don't want to dislike or force the mangaka to do that too much. I'm just happy that Yoko Kamio still share one shots sometimes to her fans even after almost 2 decades from the manga ending!

the gr8 update

hi everyone!

I’m not even sure if anyone is still reading this at all, but I guess I’m doing this post for my own benefit? (haha)

I created this tumblr as a place for me to fangirl my love for the manga Hana Yori Dango. When I say fangirl, I really mean faNGIRL. I was so crazy over Tsukasa (who am I kidding, I still am /cries he’s my perfect guy)

But anyway, I guess I somewhat matured over the years and my craze went down a bit and I had things to do other than being glued to my screen and playing around tumblr making HYD posts. 

BUT

Can I just say, my love for the series has never gone away. 

Around last year, I was SO excited that Hanadan is finally getting the sequel it needs!!!!!!! Like, I always felt really unsatisfied with the original ending of the manga. I never had actual closure like, so are Tsukushi and Tsukasa gonna get married? 

I remember feeling like the sequel would never ever come and that I’ll have to just imagine my own ending and live with it T_T

And now, in two days time, the Hana Nochi Hare J-drama is going to air. I follow TBS and Yoko Kamio on twitter, and I don’t know about you, but I am so excited. I got even MORE excited after seeing Tsukasa’s somwhat brief appearance (on a magazine) in the latest HNH (Chapter 70)!

Ok, I’m typing this post feeling rather excited and sleepy, but seeing the updates on twitter made me feel that I had to write something about HYD to express my feelz.

I don’t even know if anyone on here still follows the series, but if you do, drop a message and let’s chat! I think it’s really hard to find friends that actually followed the series till now!

And, a proper post on the series soon. I have so much fangirling to do.

Hana Yori Dango 🍡 This shoujo manga is one of the best shoujo manga of all time! Though I've seen some western bloggers write off it as rubbish just based of the first 1-3 chapters and don't bother to go and read a slow burn, well written and realistically shown character growth. Seriously, if one is a fan of a bad boy changing magically into a good husband material after a few smooches with the naive, beautiful heroine then I've to say that person is a fan of bad/lazy writting. But if you are not then you'll enjoy Hana Yori Dango manga. P.S the bullying/ragging scenes in high school showed are very brutal but it's actually a reality even now in many Asian countries, including Japan, Korea, to Bangladesh, India etc. This also results in victims deaths every year too. And when the manga was running, many Japanese students who got bullied wrote to the managaka, Miss Yoko Kamio that they got strength and inspiration to fight back against their own troubles. So I don't see why western bloggers spew so much 💩 against the mangaka unnecessarily.
