Hanadan!!!

[dangermousie]

I have read potential spoilers for eps 4-7 of Hana Yori Dango on d-addicts and am so excited I can hardly breathe.

YES.


Thanks, awesome d-addicts poster!

From TV Guide (japan, obviously)
Even though D is running to hospital, Rui gets there first. Then D comes at the wrong time and I'm not sure how, but sees both Rui kissing M, AND Rui chatting with her parents. When D sees this, he turns away and goes home. But M will later TELL D herself that Rui kissed her

Supposedly M will say "Friends don't do these things!" somewhere in the ep, which is probably a reply to Rui saying "I just felt like doing it (the kiss?)"

Somewhere in this or the next episode, I think the hot spring scene where Shigeru does things to D...will be replaced by a hotel suite room where Shigeru does things to D.

That's suppose to be ep4

Then in ep5, D (of course) goes to Rui and beats him up.

---

According to the mobile official site

D catching sight of Rui in M's hotel room, and then going home seems to be consistent.
After he goes home, his mom puts pressure on him to go through with this marriage or else many more will get hurt.
Meanwhile Rui stays by M's side, and when Akira & Soujirou asks, he says "because M and D already broke up, right?"

meanwhile M's dad gets fired, Susumu is in middle of his high school entrance exam, and Tsukushi is in middle of her college entrance exam...and problem just piles up

---

According to TV Life p.96 (the person copied it word for word so I'm translating word for word)

in ep5, the love triangle between D and M and Rui begins...
After D forces M to admit that Rui kissed her,
D makes his way to the F4 lounge to confront Rui. There, he hears Rui's feelings and explodes. Meanwhile Shigeru finds out about D and M's relationship and is shocked, but hides her shock and pretends everything's normal.

Meanwhile Susumu meets a girl at the testing site and falls in love at first site. [me: what a time to fall in love! how can you focus on your test like that??] The girl's name is Miyuki, played by Mizusawa Nanako (too lazy to look up the proper reading) When the F4 finds out, D and Soujirou and Akira gives him relationship advice... MEANWHILE M's starting to notice Rui more, after he confessed to her.

---

in ep 6
Tsukushi will hear what happened at NY (including the dream and why D is acting so cold towards her) from....Nishida!!

---

in The Television
the first half is the same as the TV Life,
about how Rui is getting serious about M and stuff
but it also adds that

D starts opening his heart up to M again. He buys the room next to M and starts living there. [so this will be like the manga]
Meanwhile Rui goes to the school to ask them to let M retake the college entrance exam she missed [while she was in the hospital?]
Thus, both sides are helping her...
After Rui realizes he has feelings for M [about time >.>] he goes for the forward approach

---

misc:

Rui might also yell in ep 5...?

In ep 6, after M finds out about NY, she might also get a visit from D's mom
who'll suggest she goes and talk with D...
some people are speculating (or hoping, rather) that this will lead to D and M living together.

In the recruiting for extras ad, it said "for the next saturday's party scene" and it's at Kanagawa, so people are thinking it might be the party at the fishing village scene

in one article, it ended with "not to mention Valentine's is approaching..."
so maybe the drama will do something special for V day.

In the JUNON's article, the producer was saying how
In season 1, Matsujun's hair was permed. Now, he's only using the curling iron to curl it. Now, it seems that curling ironed curls will turn straight with water... which makes people think there might be the good-bye in the rain scene.

[edit]
It seems Umi-chan is also going to come in..
RIGHT when everything was going great for D and M.
so that'll be around ep 7...?

sorry for making it so long
I just basically summarized another thread elsewhere
I also apologize for the Engrish parts.

Umi? The Umi line is going to exist? Gah. I HATED that story line. Otherwise... I'm SO excited! This has the greatest, GREATEST things I think I've ever seen. And I SO knew that Nishida was a closet Tsukasa/Makino shipper. So obvious.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Umi is the girl involved in the amnesia storyline, right? But the good thing is, it means there will be stabbing! (Yes, I am sick, I admit). Oh, Domyouji hurt-comfort always makes me happy :)

But yeah, if these are true, I'll be so happy.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

Yup. That's her. I really, REALLY hated that character. But yes, it DOES mean that the stabbing is in! Which was a storyline that rocked. I so hope this means that it'll be the time when the mom'll let Tsukasa and Makino be happy. ^_^ But who knows.

And I totally forgot to mention that Rui/Makino? *SQUEAL!* I love Tsukasa/Makino and all but the fact that they're going to put in Rui/Makino (and it'll be believable by this point) makes me so happy.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Mmm I love the stabbing angst and him bleeding in her arms and eeee! (He seems to be in mortal danger at least once per season, heeee).

And if they have the rain scene? I'll die.

[pandapremium.livejournal.com]

I HATE that girl too! She's like the worst character in the whole dorama, she's SO sickening! I'm sorta disappointed they're putting her in. HATE her. Watching this will be torture. Maybe in their version Makino will bitch slap her! That would TOTALLY make up for it!

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I totally agree. And then you find out that she's done this with OTHER girl's boyfriends. I mean, really. How dense do you have to be? Anyway, I really do hope that maybe Makino will just smack her like Shigeru did to ... those girls in Eitoku. That'll be so great.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I want Makino to smack her, so badly!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Don't hold back. Tell us what you REALLY feel :)

And WORD.

ROCK.ON.

[calledinvain.livejournal.com]

*bites fist* oh man. I am so going to miss these when I'm off traveling in a month or so.

Re: ROCK.ON.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I hope these are true *bites nails*

Will there be no net access?

Re: ROCK.ON.

[calledinvain.livejournal.com]

we'll be staying at various friends and family places in NY, and then onto hotels and hostels in the UK. Internet cafes are hit and miss, and I would probably only use them for email/lj updates. Oh well....I'm only going to be gone for about 3 weeks. I can...hold out.


Sure. Mhmmmm. I'll just indulge myself all February, and then come March, I'll have a portable file full of Hanadan to watch on the road so I don't go through withdrawal or whatever. Damn you Oguri Shun and Matsujun!

[village.livejournal.com]

Dude, just calm down!! ;) I'm not reading your post because I haven't even seen the third episode yet. I'm still waiting for subs to come out. But I'm tempted to read this. Very tempted. It's not like I haven't seen the anime, so what do I have to lose right? (Don't let me do it. ;))

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

The subs are out. Both hard and soft for third ep. Unless you are waiting for SARS?

[village.livejournal.com]

The subs are at that arashi.vox place? It scares me a little. heh.

Actually, I think it's up on YT under some private account.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

softsubs are at daddicts.

hardsubs are at arashi on her clubbox

[janlake83.livejournal.com]

ahhhhh!!!!!!!! thanks for the spoilers and i'm very mad about the umi thing (trying to remember if that was part of the whole amnesia thing as well) but then again, i want more tsukushi and tsukasa but yeah i kinda figured the whole rui thing happening. ahhh all these cool things are going to happen when my semester comes back!!! ahhh, i can't wait for the next episodes

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's part of the amnesia thing, But think of the stabbing! The angst potential! *revels*

[janlake83.livejournal.com]

yeah i know angst is good but there hasn't been enough tsukasa and tsukushi love for me, but then again it is a drama

[kitsune714.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I think I stopped paying attention after the "Soujirou and Akira give Susumu relationship advice", because I am laughing so hard that I can't breathe. I'm literally choking on my own tongue here. Also, I hope that they are to handle the Rui/Makino/Domyouji triangle better than Meteor Garden II did (seriously, there are days where I can't believe I actually forced myself through all 31 episodes of that), because everything's been so stellar so far, you know?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Well, there is M/R/D stuff in the manga so I suppose they can be OK. MGII? *shudder* (I just watched the ver end but just reading the synopsis gave me hives).

Re: relationship advice. If they leave that in, I will die.

[janlake83.livejournal.com]

ahhh yeah i would also *die* is they did give susumu advice on love from playboys have to be hillarious!

and yeah, mt2 umm wasn't worth watching the whole way through, can't believe my sister and i did it, i could have done something more productive than that

[queeney.livejournal.com]

Friday is way, way to far away. These spoilers...I don't know how I'll make it. T_T

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I know! I can't wait!

[smartylibrarian.livejournal.com]

Misunderstanding and R/D friendship angst! EEEEEEEEEEE!

I watched the entire first season of this show yesterday and it's all your fault!!

I'm downloading the first couple episodes of season 2 as I'm typing this now!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

YES!

Somehow I am feeling unrepentant :) It's actually pretty short by drama standards (1 season, that is). Only 9 eps even if the last one is extra long. Just be thankful I didn't hook you on Meteor Garden, Taiwanese version of the same manga. That baby is 19 eps, each 1+. (Though if you put Hanadan seasons 1 and 2 together, it will probably come to about the same length).

But isn't is so addictively good!

Let me know if you need locations for s2 subs or dls.

[smartylibrarian.livejournal.com]

I've found the first two episodes on jdramas. Is that all that has been released so far?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

There is the third one, but we watched that this sunday.

If you want to rewatch it, go to bittersweet-bun's lj for the video file and then to www.d-addicts.com hana yori dango 2, eng/ish/chinese subs thread (in the subs forum) for subs file. if you know how to use clubbox (it's entirely in Korean though so unless you used it before, I am not sure if you do. If you want, I can show you how), you can get the ep hard-subbed from arashi.vox.com
