We're all too familiar with the story of Hana Yori Dango and how it's been adapted in every country in the world but for me, this adaption in its mother country did the story the most justice. the drama stuck to the original plot with some occasional tweaks which made it much easier for viewers to digest (The red card, bullying scenes etc which were much more brutal in the manga).
Anyway, on to the good part, isn't then lead couple just the CUTEST beans together? I was sceptical of Domyouji's actor at first cause I'm a freaking superficial bitxch and thought he wasn't good looking enough to play the innocent bad boy but HOLY HELL was I wrong. His charm won me over by the 5th ep and I was team Domyouji all the way to the last ep, despite always having second lead syndrome in the Taiwanese, Korean and Chinese versions. Like, I give him serious credit for being able to do that.
Female Lead is probably the most irritating one out of all the versions. This girl has her own mind and there is no overacting or cringy moments with her, which was a recurring problem in the Korean remake. she fits the role so well and I really ADORED her and Domyouji in the end.
The side characters complement each other so well and their group dynamic/CHEMISTRY is just the best.
If you're looking for a fun, light-hearted and utterly charming drama, look no further cause I'm telling you, THIS IS IT.
