#Shigeru: why doesnt she just accept the truth??? She never lets Tsukasa finish his line. She wont be happy even she stays in the same bed with Tsukasa but he always think about the other girl (Tsukushi).
i knowwwwww. i couldnt stand seeing rui so sad during that scene.

BEWARE OF SPOILERS!
Since this whole post is nothing but a spoiler I figured it might not make much sense to put it all into a huge spoiler tag.


I'm pretty positive about Shigeru now. Especially by watching the preview you can tell she's plotting something. The way she touches Doumyouji's shoulder as we see in the preview is more like a buddy would do. His expression doesn't show any signs of fear or disgust like before either. Lol.
Anyway, this was a great episode. Too bad the funny parts (like when Doumyouji and Tsukushi were cleaning the room like crazy after they heard Akira is coming) were kind of spoiled by last week's preview. But who cares.
I was never a fan of the Sara arc in the manga but I guess they made it into a nice side story in the drama.
I love how Doumyouji is all excited when he's spending some time with Tsukushi and may it only be for looking for someone.
Feeling really sorry with Rui now though. He's been extremely pushy in this episode. He didn't even give Tsukushi the chance to explain herself, he would just shower her with compliments before she could say anything - as if protecting himself from anything bad he could hear. It makes me sad and angry at the same time. He's kind of selfish but obviously really, really hurt, too. :( Poor guy. I know this is just me again hoping for everyone to become happy in the end but I'd really like to see him with Shigeru... *sigh*

Right now I'm still trying to put all my thoughts together and to write something more productive about this week's episode. For now please bear with a short form of my impressions. :D

Btw. folks, you cannot seriously write 10 pages while I'm absent! I cannot catch up with you, you know? :lol

i agree actually. i think that shigeru should be happy, i also feel sorry for her aswell because she found out that her best friend (makino) was her husband's love. and also when makino said to shigeru that there was absolutely nothing going on between them.....and thats clearly impossible :lol !!!!
for people who have seen the anime hana yori dango...
shigeru does help them both in the end of the anime....so she is REALLY NICE......really even though she does not seem like it. because when shigeru gives herself to domyuji in the anime he refuses because he is ovbiously in love with makino and then after that shigeru gives up on domyuji and then helps makino and domyuji get back together. see she is really nice....anyway i like her...at the end!!! hehe!!!
please people watch the anime!

@xkawaiix: Hehehe, have you read the manga, too?
Because Shigeru does similar as in the anime. Only that it's not that big of a deal, actually. She's not plotting something really huge like planning a fake wedding over months but she goes to Tsukushi's place at night and tells her that Doumyouji still cares for her... which I considered really nice, too. Anyway, I really like her. But I cannot deny I seriously disliked her as long as I didn't know about her true intentions. Until then she was always only an intruder to me. ^^;
Btw. Don't you think Doumyouji's seiyuu has a really great voice? 'Omae ga chigautte yuunnara, shinjiru' <== Best version of this line is still the anime! :D

Uhm, I forgot his name. :roll It's not like I've ever heard him play any other roles, either. I just really like his work in the anime. But then again, I'm really into deep and masculine voices. Hehehehe.

Edit: Gokusen doesn't really contain much romance, does it? Hmm... I think Nobuta wo Produce is a really nice drama. I enjoyed Koi ga shitai a lot, too. As for rather romantic plots I'd definitely recommend Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu to you. A masterpiece and my favourite drama of all time. As for the funny shows: Kekkon dekinai otoko is plain brilliant - hilarious and heartwarming.

Edit II: Yay, my 100th post! And I think I always posted in this thread only (there were only 2 or 3 exceptions if my memory doesn't fail me)...

well, in the manga, shigeru tries to seduce him by making him sleep with her.
she gets naked and tries to win him over with her body, but he's like, go put your clothes back on. e.i. that's why she was like 'i'm going to sleep in your room tonight."
maybe that's it :P

u know.. i think Rui didn`t give Makino a chance to explain herself is cuz that deep down he knew her answer from the very beginning.. & that she would chose D..

i saw the preview once again.. & i think like someone already said that Shigure is goin` 2 help them.. cuz she said that she has a second plan right? plus her way in touching D was like what buddies do.. so maybe she just accepted the fact that D is not meant to be with her..

minna~ the scene where Makino is running.. pleeeeeeeeease don`t tell me it`s the airport!! :crazy: somebody knows where that is?? :scratch:

Ha, I just finished watching the new episode.
Whoa, everyone's closing in on their prey now! :lol
Finally Tsukushi decided, I'm so glad. The sooner she does, the sooner Rui can go on and find someone more interested. Yet she still 'forgot' Shigeru. Though I think she left that to Doumyouji which was probably wise because after all it's up to him wether he wants her or Shigeru. Hehe, perhaps you can tell, the behaviour of most people in this episode made me really happy. Now let's just hope Doumyouji's mom dies in an airplane crash or something, so she cannot interfere once more. (I know, I saw the preview too :glare: )

I don't know about other languages, but it's completely ABNORMAL in Japanese.
We do use English words like "chocolate" or "okay", but all the English words we use have been converted into Japanese pronounciation first.
The way the F4's are using English phrases are simply to build the character that they're fluent in all language (sadly, the actors themselves aren't.)

They're just trying to look cool ^_^ (and failing miserably to English speakers...
You just gave a laugh out of me after that post. Hehe. At least they are trying ;)

Wow, I actually watched an episode the weekend it came out! XD But that was a really really good episode...I hate that eavesdropping ugly Tama woman, and I knew Shigeru wasn't all perky and annoying. Notice how her smile slipped off the moment she turned her back on Makino to leave her room? And if Tsukasa is even CONSIDERING letting you stay the night...-thwacks him over the head- And god, stupid mom comes back next episode. I was happy when they shoved Makino's parents out of the show (they're so annoying) but I was sad to see Susumu join them. Anyway, hurry up Friday!

About Shigeru,
I know a lot of people are starting to not like her but from the way i see it, underneath that pushy demeanor, she's really trying to get those two to admit to her how they really feel. I think when she walked away from tsukushi, her face looked disappointed rather than conniving. for once, she wants them to speak up to her just like how she's blunt to them (in the beginning with her expressing her true feelings for Tsukasa before she knew the truth). Knowing what she knows now, she's trying to help them in her own way. Obviously, i still think she's the sweet and quirky shigeru known and loved in the manga but the execution is just... a bit different.

aww you gotta be kidding me!! so he was too late then with his confession.. that sucks... for him i mean. you know if he loved sara that much... then itll be a while before he and makinos friend has anything going on.. however i think shell always be by his side while he's slowly getting attached to her.

after watching the WHOLE ep7 (had to go to work half way)
i think this is the ultimate episode coming up next or the next 2, depends if they stretch it out. ultimate rivals and the whole twist of season 2! makino vs shigeru and rui vs domyouji. whats going to happen???? this is the episode(s) i do not want to miss!!!!!!!! gyaaaahhhh !!!! :goggle:

Ah, what a return to form. The concise and poetic way they put together the Sara arc is what I've been hoping with season 2 all along. It just flowed beautifully and the editing and cinematagraphy flowed beautifully. I'm only hoping that they make the HYD 2 finale like this, because the tears are going to flow.

Easily the best episode of season 2 and maybe the best episode aside from the Season 1 finale. At least for me, it makes me really believe that there's a strong romantic male lead role for Shota Matusda. Somewhere out there.

Thoughts on Episode 7 . . .
1) Okay, I actually thought the show did a good manga-friendly intepretation of Shigeru in this episode. The tragedy of the Shigeru arc was that she had completely fallen in love with him after she had put aside her suspicion that he and her new best friend were unresolved. She fell in love; she found out; but it was already too late, and she threw herself again and again at Doumyoji until she humiliated herself. And even in the end, she still genuinely loved both of her friends.

I loved the character in the manga, but I didn't like the story arc, because it was so much sadder and darker than the story leading up to it. But I liked how the drama's adapted the Shigeru arc. So of this season -- rather like a good Korean melodrama -- has been about the effect of Doumyoji and Makino upon other people.

2) Rather liked how they depicted Rui. Some people felt he was overbearing; others felt sad for him . . . however Rui loved Makino, he was also Makino's keeper. His relations with people are always in a bubble; he doesn't exchange passion and true vulnerability with Makino or even Shizuka. For that, it's never been a strong romantic triangle, and the show is just so much better when it doesn't try to push the Rui-Makino-Doumyoji triangle. Makino had already said no to Rui during first season, and Rui didn't change enough for 2nd season to make you feel like his life would really change one way or the other.

What we see with Rui and Makino this season is the mix of innocence and objective wisdom that they've developed into their friendship. He gently reminds Makino that her feelings for Doumyoji are unresolved and that he understands he's complicating their relationship. After asking her to tell him if the news is 'something good" or "something bad", he still gives her an out, even though he already knows he's not in favour. And it's Rui's reminding Doumyoji how badly he treated her that proded him to own up.

3) Loved just seeing MatsuJun and Inoue Mao have actual, uninterrupted scene time together. It makes me realize how little we've actually seen Makino and Doumoyji actually interacting all season.

4) Love the M+D running out without noticing Shigeru. Poor girl, but how does she get free reign into their crib?

5) What's with French maid fantasies and Japanese men? I mean, really . . .

6) You know, Flavor of Life is not a bad Hikki tune, but it's still a little grating to me.

7) Again, loved the cinematography and use of colour, shifting between morning, dawn, dusk, and evening tones. The sunrise in Tokyo Tower was just *this* close to being cheese, but it was beautifully executed. And worthy of a hankie or two.

8) For practical purposes, the triangle is resolved. Doumyoji and Makino are resolved to make this work. The next 4 episodes will likely be one roadblock after another, but now we get to see them finally seek each other for support/strength.

who is mapi?
Mapi = Yamashita Tomahisa. Surely. You. Know. Thisactorneh? :D

As a side note, I'm really really looking forward to Yamapi and Masami (my favorite <23 J-actress) working together on "Proposal Daisakusen." After HYD is wrapped up (NOOOO!!!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!), this is the big one for me. I liked their chemistry on Dragon Zakura.

If you're new to J-drama, definitely check out:

Yah me too. I wonder if Tsukasa's mother will find out that Makino lived in the house or if she finds Makino there. And will Makino continue staying there even the mother forbid that? Fridayyyyy...so long -0-

I fear the mother will kick Makino out. At least, it seemed like that to me in the preview.

Yeah, that's so true! That guy is just so freaking cute!

But MatsuJun did a great job playing Tsukasa. I honestly can't imagine anyone else playing that role beside him. He portrayed Tsukasa's character perfectly. Well except that slight awkwardness in episode 6 (when he was surprised to see Tsukushi). He has that kind of attitude and characteristic that would make you like him. And he's a rather good actor.

@lee's little alien:
Yeah, I want to see his movie too! Isn't it already playing in Japan?! But I wonder if Yesasia will have subtitles for it. It sure does looks good! And he looks better with straight hair. That's just my opinion. :lol

I don't think that anyone could do any better job than Jun is doing at the moment portraying domyouji. i read some where that this manga was his sister's favourite one and she loved manga's domyouji so she warned him not to miss up this role otherwise he will have taugh times at home. :cussing: poor baby.
but the thing with Jun is , all of his roles are just perfect because he is such a great actor so he goes deeply in the any role and it would fits him like a glove. no matter what character he choses to play, after that you can not imagine anyone else doing a better job than him and not just saying this because i am his huge fan.
so yamapi is doing a new drama? i am looking forward to that. i liked him since NWP with kame and these 2 have become my two little crushes.

^^ totally agree! :mrgreen: lol i didn`t know that thing about his sister !interesting!she`s bigger then him right?(if i remember right from what i read on wikipedia i think) :lol so she`s like the onee-chan from the hyd! :lol well what can i say i really love the way he`s acting and so far he had different roles... the selfish,selfcentered and yet sweet and carring domyoji,the quiet sawada shin(man his eyes expresions in that drama were like saying everything he kept inside,absolutely great),the crazy and sweet momo,the immoral koji(i hope i`m spelling his name right,i`m talking about his character`s name from "tokyo tower"),the wise a*s kindaichi!i mean he`s a great actor!way to go jun!

I wouldnt even watch HanaDan if Yamapi played the role of Domyouji. Maybe he is cute/hot but it just wouldnt fit because Shun is already the cute/hot one.
Soujiro = The calm guy.
Akira = The man who helps and cheers all up and he worries a lot.
Rui = Hot/cute mysterious.
Domyouji = rude, shy when it comes to love acts, the "big" man.

Just perfect. Everyone fits into its role. Yamapi wouldnt be a good choice..He would be Hanazawa Rui v-2 and not a Domyouji..of course its my opinion.

I'm pretty sure Tsukasa's mom finds out about Makino.
1.) Tama's a ****.
2.) In the previews of ep. 8 you can hear her saying "I don't want her in this house ever again." Something along those lines.

I think Shigeru will tell the mother about Makino. I even think Tama is for Makino and Tsukasa...somehow : O...

Yes but it havent aired yet. 2007 only had aired 「Byakkotai」 from 「2007-Jan-6 and 2007-Jan-7」 and had only 2 episodes.
His next dorama is 「Proposal Daisakusen」 and it hasnt aired yet.

yes yes yes, i have the same feeling about tama too. i think she will help these two to get together. she doen not seem to be an evil one. as for shigeru, after reading some posts about her
i am trying to hate her less because appreantly she will be helping makino and domyouji to face the evil mom but i am not so sure about it. at the moment, she is in my to hate list although i kind of liked her at the begining.

About Kaede: Whether or not she finds out Makino is staying at their house- what do you think? :)
About Tama-
you'll reconsider your first impressions of her, I promise. She isn't a villain, in fact she tells Makino a sure-fire way to get Tsukasa would be to "make a baby" with him, then asks the shocked Makino if she knows how to do it! lololol She's one of my favorite characters in the manga. I'd want her on my side, that's for sure. Unless of course the writers pull another Shigeru... :cussing:
As for Yamapi playing Domyouji? I can't see him pulling it off. Also, who says that there aren't fangirls flipping out over Matsujun?

Ah, never mind me... I look forward to the weekend after the episode so that I can see actual discussion about the show. :whistling:

ROFL I'm in love with my favorite Pi, but Pi...as Domyouji? rofl. Jun is great as him. Oh wow..that was funny. rofl.

Anyway, at first I liked Shigeru. But you can now tell even when she's sad or plotting she forces that fake (annoying) perky attitude up. When she first visits Makino at the mansion, she turns to leave and that smile slips off pretty dang fast. And the previews of her saying, "I have another card to use." Don't know what she's up to. -.-

Yah, exactly. I started to believe that when she whispered into Domyoujis ear "in that case...what do you think her to become your personal maid?" hahah <3. Thats why I think she ll help them in a kinda way also I started liking her because of that naughty sentence which made Domyouji thinking in a pervert way hahaha.

Omg, I just realized: I was too busy bashing Tama (sorry), Kaede, and Shigeru I didn't mention my opinions on poor little Rui! =O

I feel bad for him. He knows what Makino is going to say to him. He really needs to be with Shizuka (or her be with him and quit flying off to France or wherever) or find someone else...Was that him in the previews saying "I won't give up on Makino"? He can be a little stubborn...-.- But overall I love Rui.

I have read somewhere that Tsukasa's mother gonna arrange a person again who should try to separate Makino and Tsukasa. But I'm not sure if the mother will arrange someone for Domyouji again or someone for Makino. But she defenitly will.
Thats also why I think that there will be more than 11 episodes.

She said to Domyouji.
"Tomorrow im going to see Hanazawa Rui [...] And in the end I want to make the person happiest is not you. I will tell him (to rui) that [...]"
That means, Makino said to Domyouji what she gonna say to Rui but it sounded like she said it to Domyouji, but she didnt.
