| Review
Hana Yori Dango is probably one of the most addictive j-doramas I�ve watched. The story is easy to very simple and easy to understand, but it is also very interesting. Each ending of every episode makes you want more. Inoue Mao and Matsumoto Jun each do a great job of acting and that�s why both won awards at the 47th Television Drama Academy Awards. The actors, who play the other four members of the F4, do an okay job of acting. Like Nobuta wo Produce, I recommend it to people who like j-doramas that take place in a schools setting. |
