I haven't searched for babies eating lemons, but. . .now I want to.
No, I haven't watched the remake. I saw the original, so I was unsure if watching the remake was worth my time. Especially as the ratings are getting lower and lower. But, now. . .I kind of want to add it to my huge list of dramas. What was the hallway scene?
The hallway scene has Mizuki crying and Nakatsu doing the reaching-out-but-not-touching-thing and his face was just TOO WOOBIE. Augh, this drama is going to kill me. WHY CAN'T EVERYONE GET THEIR HAPPY ENDING.
I was almost going to stop watching this series and only downloaded episode four because of a hilarious cap I saw, but I think I need to rewatch this properly and keep up because, holy crap, it's just... ahhh!! so good!
REAL TASTE, HA, I LAUGH IN THE FACE OF IT. Mostly I just watched the first two episodes and got a bit bored but it def deserves a second chance. I MEAN. IS THIS REALLY EPISODE FOUR? WHAT... HOW... WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NOW?!
It's such a happy drama! Even full of unrequited love and DEEP PERSONAL FEELINGS it never fails to be SO DAMN HAPPY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE NAKATSU CONFESSED IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. EVERYONE. ALL THREE DORMS STARING AT HIM AND GOING "EHHH?!" THAT BOY NEVER DOES ANYTHING BY HALVES.
YES! They've added a few plots, but also kept a lot of details like Umeda being gay and Nanba's uncle. I'm hoping the trend continues because there are some manga storylines I'd love to see. *crosses fingers*
HELLO, NEW DRAMA BUMPED UP TO MUST-WATCH-SOON ON MY LIST.
(That, and because I hear really, really good things about Tokuyama Hidenori [asldfj;!!!] as Oscar. And Sato Yuuki [asldfj;aldfja;;AKDFAS!!!] kissing boys.)
I loved that whole ep. The sleepover! Oblivious Mizuki, stressed Sano, calm Kayashima (Kayashimaaaa<3)! Ghost stories! Nakatsu and Sano sleeping in the toilet! Everything else!
Personal highlight: Nakatsu/Kayashima friendship. If Nakatsu hadn't ended this ep with confessing to Mizuki, I would have started shipping them immediately. Oh wait, I DO ANYWAY.
The sleepover was A+ perfection from start to finish. The power outage, the dorms fighting for space, the pillow fight (♥ ♥ ♥!!), Sano's increasing levels of panic lolololol. "YOU KNOW THEY'RE ALL VULGAR, RIGHT?"
KAYASHIMA MADE ME GIDDY AND SAD ALL AT ONCE. When he brought out the food and candles in the end? That was so goddamn sweet.
Can I ship Nakatsu/Mizuki/Sano and Nakatsu/Kayashima at the same time? ...Can I just have an orgy?
How Mizuki turns Sano in a flaily teenage boy without even noticing is not only cute, it also provides Sano with a character and its development. I didn't realise so much when watching HanaKimi 2007, but Oguri didn't do much but brood and sulk his way through the entire show. I liked looking at him, but I actually care about and root for this Sano.
So glad we got some Kayashima action. I loved Kayashima in the manga! Everyone spazzing and flailing, and in the midst of it all Kayashima keeps calm and carries on. And Oscar this ep! Fighting a pillow fight with a rapier. XD Then, at the end, when he orders his boys to bow and apologise? I watched him bark out the command a few times. That would never have worked for Oscar2007, but this one totally pulls it off.
Ship all the things! *thumbs up*
Huh, I just realised I don't even want an orgy - for this HanaKimi, I'd be satisfied with them all snuggling and holding hands and putting arms around shoulders and waists. I'm losing my touch. :(
I remember talking to someone about the twdrama version (which I haven't seen, but she was reccing) and she mentioned how she loved Sano's freakouts and panicky attempts to protect Mizuki from herself. It made me realize how much I missed dorky!Sano from the manga. And then ep 4 came like a gift from the heavens!
And Oscar this ep! Fighting a pillow fight with a rapier.
My favorite was Nakatsu securing a space for Mizuki like a dying samurai. "MIZUKI... I GOT IT...!"
I also find myself strangely fond of dorm one. They've never been my favorites, but they're just so PUMPED and HAPPY BE HERE, BOB. It's endearing! They're like a late-night infomercial that never stops.
Has Nakao been breaking your heart lately? Because he's been breaking mine.
for this HanaKimi, I'd be satisfied with them all snuggling and holding hands and putting arms around shoulders and waists.
Oh gosh, that mental image. Yes. *________* ADORABLE SNUGLY PUPPIES.

Second - Why must I always ship Nakatsu and Mizuki, knowing they will never get together?

...does this one actually follow the manga better? Because if yes I might actually watch. The first one was one woefully wasted opportunity.
