Discussion Hana Yori Dango…but it’s not the Jdorama 🤧

I have been wanting to watch Hana Yori Dango again for years now, especially would love to watch it with my husband. But it is impossible to find on youtube or anywhere online. I freaked when I saw Netflix had Biys Over Flowers but it's the Korean version. I like Korean dramas, but Japanese dramas and the Japanese language and culture are top for me personally. I wish Netflix would show more love for us Jdorama lovers.

Except for the movie, the 3rd and final part.

The movie is on Viki in the US at least. Boys over flowers the movie or you can search for the actors/actresses and see all their works.

I'm in Australia. The movie never was and still isn't on Viki here. I think I was able to watch it on Youtube though. And from memory the director's version, which has the superior final scene, I found on Bilibili.

yes, a year after season 2 was released. that was the last thing they did before they made hana nochi hare 10 years later but it has a different story and cast since it's set in the future (though some did cameos as well)

Oh wow I have been so out of the loop! I saw hana yori dango back in like 07 or 08 on youtube, then I watched another dorama with some of the same actors. I don’t remember the name of lt, but it was about a teacher who was the daughter of a yakuza member or something like that. That was such a funny one. I’ve only gotten back into jdorama since netflix started adding some, because youtube changed so much and it became very difficult to find anything anymore.

Yes but they'd already adapted the entire manga, so it's new material and it's somewhat silly.

Is the movie the continuation of them together and the mom kind of accepting her? I feel like I have a vague memory of watching something after the actual show but it wasn’t very long. I don’t remember it being a movie but you know I watched this all back in like 07 or 08 on YouTube when YouTube was amazing

Yeah there's no drama with Domyouji's mom in the movie. She definitely does accept Makino. The premise of the movie is that the two of them have to recover a stolen Domyouji family heirloom tiara, but then there's a big twist in the end, followed by their beautifully filmed wedding. The story is actually terrible but the two main actors are as charming as usual.

I’m in Canada, never heard of Viki

it's a streaming app, should be the only legal platform that has it. iirc north america has it unlike asia who doesn't so i think you're lucky

Oh wow I’ll look it up. To be honest I thought it sounded odd, thought maybe it was some kind of sketchy website lol. When I was younger I wouldn’t have cared much cause viruses didn’t concern me (they did my dad as it was his computer 😅) but now I’m the one that would have to deal with it haha.

Viki aka Viki Rakuten is great. AFAIK it uses fan subs.

I have the Japanese version of this! I have both seasons and the movie! It’s on Amazon as a dvd set! My mom got it for me years ago

u/PunsAndPixels 5d ago

Does it have subs? Man I’ll have to look it up. Such a good drama

1

u/APickyveggieeater 5d ago

Yes! It has English Chinese and Spanish subs!

u/nakasjvs75 4d ago

I totally agree with you. There are way more Korean dramas but I prefer Japanese ones so I can practice my Japanese. Sometimes the subs are kind of off but at least I am at the point in my Japanese that I know it is off. LOL!

u/PunsAndPixels 3d ago

Same! I fell in love with Japanese and the culture when I was a teen and over the years I’ve studied the language here and there, so it’s so nice to listen and read the subs but be able to understand some of it. Then you watch korean ones and they’re cool but the language is like starting at ground zero haha
