Special Hell awaits. But so does Hana Yori Dango 2

[dangermousie]

I am going to hell.

Hell, hell, HELL.

Because kitsune714 just linked me to the trailer of an upcoming Japanese movie, Boku wa imouto ni koi wo suru which is an adaptation of a famous manga, and I am in love with it and can't wait to see it, even though the title for it is translated 'I am in love with my little sister' and is actually about franternal twins falling in love with each other.

I am going to HELL.

But come on! It has Matsumoto Jun (who I lost my heart to as Shin in Gokusen and who is Domyouji in Hana Yori Dango *swoon*) with good hair, in school uniform, and being all angsty and passionately repressed. And the music is gorgeous, and they look so OTPish and there is angsty hugging and I love MatsuJun's serious voice. I am in love with this already.

What is dorama/Asian cinema doing to me? First it was the teacher/student stuff of Forbidden Love, then I ended up shipping the half-siblings (it was unrequited in that movie) in the Korean movie in Temptation of Wolves (which is an awesome movie) and now this!

I am going to hell.

And speaking of MatsuJun, the ff.net scouring (I actually found a good HYD fic, and it was Domyouji/Tsukushi, which is awesome since I love Rui and all but no one is allowed to come between the OTP. Plus, Rui/Shizuka!!!) made me want to rewatch/re-read some Hana Yori Dango in some shape or form. I have to say, I am glad I never encountered manga in my formative years. I can just see self fixating on the whole jerk who is actually angry, messed up boy who will in reality love you enough to be willing to die for you trope and in RL the jerk is just a jerk and not this hidden amazing guy.

So, since I knew if I started rewatching any part of Meteor Garden, I'd be up until 5 am, because I'd go from scene to scene, I decided to watch some of the jdrama instead (which I like but am not as obsessive over) and was rewatching my favorite scene, aka Domyouji running to rescue Tsukushi even though he knows it's a trap and getting beaten within an inch of his life because if he even tries to fight back, they will hurt Tsukushi. That scene in (in any version, manga, anime, MG or HYD jdrama) is one of my favorite things in this world. OMG, when he just fixates on Tsukushi even though Sakurako is yelling in his face and he is on the floor nearly unconscious and she manages to get free and shield him with her body and then the thugs finally leave and she asks him if he's OK and he is barely able to talk and tells her 'Of course I am not OK.' I love.

Which makes me think of which scenes from the manga I want in Hana Yori Dango 2.

1. Tsukushi as maid in Domyouji's house. Because it will be adorable and hilarious. And especially for the scene in the rain where she tells him she's never loved him. Because I adore my angst.

2. Domyouji getting shot by the crazy guy with a grudge against his family and Tsukushi getting him to the hospital. Beause I love my h/c and because no previous version had this in it.

3. Domyouji running after the bus which is taking Tsukushi away. Because I adore that scene in Meteor Garden beyond all reason and hey, it's a jdrama, we have to have pretty, desperate running.

4. The whole thing with the hot springs. Because OMG perfection. And angst. And jealousy. And awesomeness.

5. The hypothermia in Canada thing. Though to be honest, if it did happen, I'd faint in shock.

6. More Soujiro/Yuki in whatever shape.

Two things I don't want:

1. Junpei. I know he is in HYD2 and I am confused as to why, as his role was taken over by Sakurako (see my favorite scene) in HYD. But I trust TPTB to integrate him well.

2. Pleasepleaseplease don't break up Rui and Shizuka. Please?

And in further Hana Yori Dango 2 news, behind the cut is a youtube video of some Japanese program which has clips from HYS2. New York! EEEEE.
