It's weird. This story is unrealistic, sometimes quite stupid and cliché, but somehow you just can't forget it. And you love it. Makino and Tsukasa, they are a legendary couple I'd say. For some reason, their story makes them seem grand and meant to be. Maybe it's because they went through so much together. Their friends and the support of everyone was really nice to see. I mean, it's a classic, you just have to watch it.
Shigeru was probably my favourite. Or at least she made me cry SO MUCH in this whole story. Her personality and selflessness made me so emotional even in this last episode when she appeared.
I wish we could have seen Nishinoya and Yuki together, but I guess we got that in Meteor Garden 2018. And yes, I definitely agree. This version is better. Especially in the acting department, I guess this drama is my first proper Jdrama. I wanted to give it a try even though this is 15/13 years old and I didn't really wanted to watch the korean version. But I am pretty surprise at the quality, even the cinematography? This is over a decade old and has better camera directing than some newer dramas, like what.
ANYway. Personal highlights of both seasons:
Tsukasas hair (especially in s1). Gorgeous. And obviously him.
Tsukasa in a beanie.
Makinos tears.
Tsukasa and Makinos kiss in the sunset.
Tsukasa and Makino brothers plot.
"Did you know that when you cut a fig in half it looks like a heart? That's why they say that the flavour of love is sweet and sour. But to me... the flavour of love only tastes like that lousy cookie you made." my eyes got wet real quick.
Tsukasa and Makinos relationship in general.
Rui.
Just. Shigeru.
NISHIDA.
That badass housemaid.
That OST.
Tsukasa and Makino <3
