I've ended the year just like I started it: watching drama. At this time last year I was watching My Love From Another Star, and now, a year later, I'm finishing up the 2nd season of Hana Yori Dango: a drama that I immensely enjoyed. Much like the first season, the story line of season 2 wasn't anything new. It was quite similar to that of Boys Over Flowers, but there were some differences that I really really liked. The storyline picks up about a year after the ending of season one and we're immediately hit with a wall of angst. The conflicts in this season never stop, but it was entertaining to watch. I think my favorite part of the season was the ending. Everything came together so well. I know there's still a movie to complete the series, but the ending to this was pretty darn good. It was very fulfilling and felt complete. The acting was as good as ever. I've already talked about all of the actors in my review for the first season so basically all I have to say is that I have no complaints. We got to meet some new characters in this season and they all played their parts well. The main cast was solid throughout the whole season. I don't think I liked the OST for this season quite as much as season one's OST, but I really liked the opening song. I also liked the inclusion of Utada Hikaru's Flavor of Life. I love her voice and she always sounds great. Overall I'm very satisfied with Hana Yori Dango 2. This season is full of angst and not quite as light hearted as season one, but still very enjoyable. I liked it enough that I watched it in just under 24 hours. It made all of my fangirl dreams come true. I'm looking forward to watching the final movie right away.
