To be honest, you could finish the series here without watching either movie. But it’s also likely I had soured towards the season after the memory loss incident, so others viewers may have enjoyed it more. I know it’s typical shoujo-y stuff, but the big build up with all the problems and then blah blah everyone’s waiting for them blah. I’m also not a big fan of the last big sequence of Tsukushi trying to get to her graduation (? or prom? It’s not too clear). Although, admittedly, seeing Rui act cold and bitchy towards Umi was kind of funny. THE WAY YOU CAME WAS NOT NORMAL, WHY ARE YOU NOT ACTIVELY TRYING TO REMEMBER THIS?! Also the fact that the rest of F4 don’t really try to intervene when crazy psycho girl (aka Nakajima Umi ( Erika Toda)) basically worms her way into Tsukasa’s life and takes over it. For me it wasn’t that big an issue in the Korean version, but in the Japanese version, Tsukasa can remember coming to the town, but then can’t remember why. I really don’t like the way amnesia is handled in this series, specifically the fact that Tsukasa remembers everything except Tsukushi. Tsukasa… cute, but also really, really not.įinally, the last two episodes. Rui, as ever, remains adorable in the second series. She proves to be a relatively intelligent female lead, and she’s got a lot of guts (I especially love the piano scene at the birthday party!). I think that Tsukushi also matures in the second season, understanding more about the how the world works, especially the world of big businesses. I especially liked that Nishikado Sojiro ( Shota Matsuda) and Mimasaka Akira ( Tsuyoshi Abe) were further developed, and not just left out of the action. I also think the majority of the characters were developed in the second series really well (with the exception of Tsukasa, see below). It’s so cute! Especially his relationship with her younger brother!. Plus I love the whole Tsukasa moving next door to Tsukushi sub-plot. Overall, we get a more mature, more focused plot, which really helps our characters shine. I also thought the pacing of the plot was spot on. There were a lot of different plot elements to be included, and I think they were all handled pretty well and worked together nicely. I quite liked the plot for the second season. Her fears are confirmed when she receives the dreaded red notice again, even though Tsukasa’s away! Hanazawa Rui ( Shun Oguri) urges her to fly to New York to sort out exactly what’s going on, but can she find Tsukasa in the maze of buildings and people? And what if he really no longer loves her? However, in that time she’s hardly heard from him, and has started to think that he no longer wants anything to do with her. It’s been a year since Makino Tsukushi ( Mao Inoue) confessed her love to Domyoji Tsukasa ( Jun Matsumoto) as he left for the USA. Minor spoilers for the first season within. Here’s the follow-up post to the first season with my review of the 11-episode Hana Yori Dango Returns (2007).
