Japanese dramas has started to rule on my schedule

As the title says- I've started watching more japanese dramas.... So far I've watched only 3 - but they all made a good impression on me.
This week I've watched 2 japanese dramas- Ryusei no kizuna(ties of shooting stars)- watched the drama in 4 days and today my twin and I finished watching Hana Kimi(Hanazakari no kimitachi e - for you in full blossom), which was totally amazing!!! We watched all the 12 episodes in 2 days!!!!!!
I just can't believe- I'm not that kind of "drama addict" who watches many episodes a day, the last time I've watched many episodes a day was when I watched the korean drama "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho"- I have watched the first 4 episodes in one day.
That happens when I don't have other things to do... and I prefer watching a drama instead of being bored and moody...
Now after 3 amazing dramas, I'm sure going to watch many more japanese dramas!!!


While watching "Hana Kimi", I couldn't not to think about Mulan. Mizuki, the main character of "Hana Kimi", entered a school of boys and had to behave like a man. When her schoolmates found out that she was a girl, she felt really anxious, and her classmates refused to be her friends again- it reminded me of the moment when Mulan was revealed and no one cared when she said she came to the army to save her father- everyone was ignoring...

In "Hana Kimi", I liked the friendships between the students, and developed a special affection for Nakatsu, this cute friend of Mizuki who has fallen for her and had dilemas of loving a "man". Sano was cute too so I liked the end, but I wouldn't care if Mizuki would have changed her heart and return love to Nakatsu....
The series was so funny, but touching sometimes too- I cried in the last episode when Mizuki said goodbye to her schoolmates, especially when Nakatsu said his words!!! They were really close, they were best friends...
Liked it that there was more than just fun in the series- for exapmle, in the first episode when Nakatsu understood what is helping others, moments before his grandma died, and in episode 5- when Minami realized what love is.
I couldn't ignore the thoughts filled my head right from the first minute in the series- I think the Hong Sisters, creators of the korean drama "You're Beautiful", copied ALOT from "Hana Kimi" - the girls admiring the boys, female lead is rejected by the male lead but in spite of it tries to make him happy...
However, in "Hana Kimi" her reasons were understandable, and I liked Mizuki for trying to make other person(Sano) happy. Sano had misunderstandings with his father and brother, but thanks to her, he freed himself from the sorrow, and made peace with his father.

Some gifs and funny moments from "Hana Kimi":
(I found the gifs at various places on the net, nothing was made by me...)



Nakatsu is happy to find out he's not gay...


Too bad he was dancing in front of everyone...



Liked those moments of Nakatsu's "philosophizings"



Completing with the fact of "loving a man"


Too close!


And when he tried to defent her... even if it was getting a kiss from Sano!!


But when he got to know that "he" was "she"...


Even I was captured by Minami's charm...<3




Liked the dance.


Sano succeeded!!

Ryusei no kizuna- ties of shooting stars, tells about three siblings- 2 brothers and their little sister, who want to find the assassin of their parents. While trying to get more clues, and "playing" with the police, they make a living of lying to people and steal money.
I liked the brotherhood between the "Ariake 3". Although Shizuna, the sister, is not their sister by blood, Koichi and Taisuke love her and the three make a cute triplet! The OST of the drama was very beautiful!! The opening song and this instrumental are my favorite tracks.







Liked the funny scenes when they stole money from that guy Takayama!!
