just saw episode 9 and i really changed my opinion of the actor who plays hinata. at first i thought all he could do was pout but this episode really proved me wrong.
i didn't totally get what that girl who has a crush on wataru typed in the bbs but i could tell it was a bitchy thing to do. and from next week's preview i can tell she gets bitchier and more annoying. seriously, what's her deal? she met the man once~! now all of a sudden she loves him and can't stop bothering him? really gets on my nerves
they're really keeping us in suspense about what's behind the door ne

Just watched ep. 9, only can understand very very little.
But the story;s getting better and better! Really love it
Question: What did Kayo said to Hinata when he cried in the temple? And also what exactly the girl do in BBS? What did she posted? And what's the article in the magazine said?

What Kayo said...
She brought up how you don't have to look like each other or be blood related to be family. She brought up from before when they were looking at her pictures how she didn't look like her parents. Then she talked about he grew up with them, and that the people that you live with, grow up with, love, and eat with are your family. You don't have to be blood related to be family
also-I SOOO wanted Osamu-nii to run up and hug Hinata and yell "DAISUKI!!!"
OMG I was waiting for Satoshi to confess to Kayo >_< can't wait for next week. I could tell, especially when he asked her about Wataru. He knew, so he didn't wanna say anything to her. But I guess something changes his mind?

That Misuzu girl is wacko. She knows something. I think that she does like Wataru, but also was some sort of fan of their father Tohru...the BBS thing totally messed up my mind though. Does that mean that she KNEW about Hinata? I think maybe it is gonna come down to Hinata's father....which for some reason I am thinking will be the yakuza man from the cafe xD

ahahaha i'm pretty sure their father
is dead since he was in the hospital in the flashbacks and was older than the man in the restaurant
is the man from t he restaurant a yakuza? hmm, so many little side things. i hope they have a conclusion for everything when the drama ends though. ESPECIALLY tanaka-chan and boss lady's story. ican see the jealousy in his eyes. hehe.

Aah, now I see. Thanks a lot for your information, tanpoporin-san.

yes, I really can not wait to see the development between Kayo and other two, can;t wait to see Wataru reaction also. And yes, watching Osami cry makes me sad. He should just talk to Hinata about how much he loves him.

Yeah, Misuzu girl does likes or loves Wataru.
I guess when he rejected her, she got all vicious or something. Though I was watching the preview for episode 10 and Satoshi was saying something in Kayo's ear. All I heard was "I..." but other than that, did anyone catch that?
Episode 9 has got to be the climax of the drama. Truly that has got to be one of the best episodes since you get to see how Kyo's grown into the family, especially's Hinata.

on the preview, I think Satoshi said something like
"..couldn't it be me?.."
to tsukiyama.

I love this episode sooooo much!!
I think this is the best episode so far (though I'm still anxious to get to the next episode) and sad on the same time, because it's coming to an end.

I hope they make a good ending...

O.O

...Hearing that makes me sad now. I was hoping that Satoshi has a chance, but given to that...
Chances are Tsukiyama won't end up with anyone then unless Wataru has a change of heart, thinks for himself, and accept Kayo. Because it seems to me that Tsukiyama still harbors some feelings for Wataru.

=( Poor Satoshi, doesn't stand a chance...

I simply adore this show XD I only started watching on Sunday and watched all 8 episodes straight :lol I just love how all the brothers interact and with Tsukiyama as well :)

Episode 9 is definitely one of my favorites. Hinata's actor did a great job. The whole secret wasn't as shocking, but they did it very well. It was so emotional and touching! I really loved it ^^ And that girl who likes Wataru? She's a little freaky. I have no idea what she is up to. I wonder if she's stirring up trouble just because she was flatly rejected by Wataru??

In any case, I can't wait to see the next episode ^_^

Ooo actually I believe Satoshi said
"Am I not good enough?"
which is equally as sad :cry: Ah, Satoshi :-(

i remember in a previous episode that girl that likes wataru said to hinata
i just want him to go back to where he belongs. who is she to decide that he's not doing what he needs to in his life?!
this series is 11 episodes right? i think wataru will start accepting tsukiyama. at least i hope. i mean, i'm pretty sure we're not gonna get the ending of wataru professing his love to tsukiyama and they kiss. that would be nice though!

i was watching ep 9 and noticed in the last scene with hinata that his wrists are so thin!! HE'S so thin!

Or install GOM player, you don't need vobsub, because the player reads subtitles.

just saw episode 10 and i think they're doing a good job wrapping up the relationships. ichiro is soo manly in the omiai scene! and wataru and tsukiyama are so happy in the beginning of the episode, you can't help but smile.
that girl is getting out of hand. ok, so the man you like rejects you so the thing you come up with to win his heart is to damage his youngest brother. nice plan somebody really needs to slap her in the next episode
she's a stalker for sure

From the official website, story for episode 11, I don't put it under a spoiler box since I thought most people don't understand Japanese anyway. But if anybody does, care to translate??

自分の本当の父親が描いた絵を、航(堺雅人)、修(池田鉄洋)、智(要潤)の父親が盗作していたと知った陽(本郷奏多)は、家をとび出す。  

その後、陽の行方を探しあてたものの、もう一度勉強したいという陽の思いを受け、兄弟たちもそれぞれの道を歩くべきだと考えた航は、「花園ゆり子は解散する」と宣言。夏世は、一抹の寂しさを感じながらも、兄弟たちの気持ちを尊重し、前向きに応援しようと心に決める。  

兄弟たちは夏世と航の気持ちをはっきりさせようとある作戦を思いつく。そんな中、修は美那絵(滝沢沙織)にフラれたショックでイラストのイメージがわかず、最終回が描けないと、夏世(釈由美子)に泣きつく。

そこへ、航が帰宅すると・・・。

And pictures (not big enough though)...

The way the four brothers are acting, it look like they might needed to see a wedding dress on her for the manga. Or maybe just a prank like the 1 episode.

so here's what i understood from the preview:
Tsukiyama finally gets into the room, Wataru reveals Hanazono Yuriko's real secret - the plagiarism...after Hinata discovered that Wataru's father plagiarized from his REAL father, he got all upset and runs away; when Tanaka and others found him, he declares Hanazono Yuriko is breaking up; meanwhile the 2 brothers try to look for Hinata and Wataru considers whether he should let Hinata go and live his own life now...

OMG that was SOOOOOOOO cute! I knew he was gonna do something though when he left like that. Everyone else did too. hahahah But yeah, it was like some old yakuza movie or somethin' with him barging in there and taking her away.

I just finished the last episode. It was really good. Everything wrapped up very well. The best thing for me was that the theme song that was used finally made sense as to why they used it. It was totally good though. Not as f-ing sick and awesome as the HANADAN2 ending, but good nonetheless. :wub: :wub:

I wish the detective was fleshed out more. I don't know why, but I found him really cool.

I'm really happy with how the drama ended, though. I'm usually a little disappointed with most endings, but I felt satisfied after this. It really felt concluded.

Post by gs56cb » Mar 27th, '07, 23:02

Compared to other dramas that I've watched before, this ending is one of the best.
First off, many people will say that Tsukiyama didn't confess, but it seemed like she said 'I love you Osamu and I want to stay with you forever' when she said ' Please let me decide my life as an editor of Hanazono Yuriko'. :O We all know she really meant, or maybe it's just me. lol. :wub: I love what they did with that mysterious guy. You would think that he was dead and got killed as a Yakuza. However, he was just the guy who worked with the late husband and he is a police officer. That was a good twist. :whistling: What else did I like?... Hmmm, I just like the fact that everyone finally got separated and decided to have their own lives. It was pretty sad that they were together all the time, depending on each other, when they wanted to do things they thought they shouldn't. :pale:


I will definitely recommend this drama to anyone. :D Actually , I somewhat like this drama more than HYD2, though HYD2's ending was crazy (you should watch it really lol). :alcoholic: This is definitely a great ending for a great drama. Thanks dancestar24 for subbing this stuff. :cheers:

I found this drama at a random asian entertainment store, and the lady recommended it to me, but I decided on Anna no Omame (sp?). I don't know if I should've picked this one up instead.

So, for those who've seen it:

On a comedic level from 1-10, how funny is it?
On a romantic level (if applicable), how romantic is it?
On a satisfaction level, how does it fare overall?

I liked romance comedies such as Love Revolution (LOVED IT), Oishii Proposal, Attention Please, Nodame Cantabile...etc, so is it anything like the listed or is it in a different league?

I have to disagree with you on pairing choice...
I think that while Satoshi may be a good match for her, in the end I think they were trying to portray his character as a playboy...I haven't seen this show in a while but I'm pretty sure that he was just acting like he was in love with her because he was tired of seeing them hide their feelings for each other/ he wanted his brother to accept the feelings he was having/ wanted to see his brother happy, etc...kind of like Oguri Shun's character Hanazawa Rui in Hana Yori Dango season 1. Not season 2. If you've seen this drama you'll understand why.
