Hello!
So this is gonna be my first post in "Review per ep" project. Since this is a review, it might contain spoiler, but I guess we already know the story more or less tho LOL. This post gonna cover eps 1, the introduction and exposition of Hana Yori Dango drama.
It started with Makino Tsukushi, the protagonist explaination about Eitoku Gakuen, F4, and the “Red Card” or “Akafuda”. Then we see how awfull human Domyoji Tsukasa is. And then the dango shop and Yuuki questioning why Makino can’t just fight back like she used to. We get the reason is her family and she kinda regret got into Eitoku LOL. But there is this part where Makino really impressed by Shizuka speech, when she said “Be true to yourself, make your own part in life”. All in all eps 1 is a jam-packed, fast-paced and serve the deal as the introduction eps. Not to mention, the amazing perfomance of Inoue Mao as Makino Tsukushi. You can’t help to fall in love and root for her ^^
So some of my thoughts on this episode. Firstly can we talk about HOW GOOD the acting is?? Matsumoto Jun’s Domyoji are menacing, intimidating, basically he is loose wild animal LOL. We also saw a glimpse of his cold life. A mother who doesn’t care for him, huge cold mansion, a long table, and his mother way disposing people so easily. But well, to be honest, I remember really hating Domyoji XD whatever the reason is, what he did was wrong. And I genuinely kinda thought he was a horible person in this first eps and had no idea how this monster could be the love interest??!?! Welp. Glad I was wrong tho.
Also Inoue Mao’s Makino Tsukushi is so stellar! Even from the first eps you could see who she is. She takes no crap from no one! I really like that. She is so strong and brave. When people bully her, rather than be sad she just angry haha. She knows she did no wrong, so why must she be the one being bully? I think Makino is a heroine we want to be. Strong, brave, kind, and loyal.
Loves her at this scene!
Oh also one thing I also noticed is how hillarious she is! She is a tennen (airhead) XD All in all this version comedy is just right! It maybe a bit over the top, weird, and caricature-ish. The bullying part never really bother me, except the almost assault...... And the reason Domyoji giving Red Card is just silly haha. I mean he gives Red Card just because orange juice got into his eye XD really WTF moment haha.
Tennen Makino XD
A really solid pilot ep. Not something amazing tho, but definitely entertaining and keeps you to watch more!
Thank you for visiting!
