Hana Yori Dango 2, Episode 2 Recap

[tinyangl]

First of all, I REALLY need to get with the program. I never seem to know when my shows are coming back from hiatus. I almost missed a new episode of NCIS. I need some sort of list that has the dates of every new episode, because without that, I'd miss EVERYTHING. (Such as Bones, House, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, CSI, ... Others.) Anyway,

hanizawa...rui...

*sigh*

*eyes glazes*

SECONDARY OTP!!!

thank you. *is watchingtomorrow*

[tinyangl]

Heee! That's totally my reaction. Whenever I see pictures of him... *sigh* I totally zoned out of my friends on the phone because I was staring at a picture of him. I think that shows a new low.

Secondary OTP? Rui/Tsukushi?

And you're welcome! Enjoy watching the entire thing... It's always more fun to actually WATCH it then read what happens in a recap.

Secondary OTP=Soujiro/Yuki

And it's so, so easy to see why Makino is so in awe of Rui...

[tinyangl]

Ahhhh. That OTP. Well, that coupling rocks too... Yuki's so adorable around him that I can't help but root her on. Although, she'll have her hands full with a playboy like Soujirou.

And man, it really is. It doesn't mean she has FEELINGS for him, necessarily. Just that she's a little attracted... Never stopped, I think. Who freaking would? The man's a god. XP I NEED to stop fangirling! It's getting scarily obsessive.

LOL, I enjoyed reading your commentary very much! :D :D

I too wonder how many times Tsukasa looks at the cookie box in a day. ;_; And about Shigeru's necklace not being that pretty, I thought that when I saw it too! *giggling*

Ah, I'm looking forward to episode 3 so much. I just hope the angst doesn't almost destroy me like it almost did in Episode 2. :D

[tinyangl]

Awww! Thanks! *starts fanning self* You like me! You really, really like me!! Heh. Corniness aside

[mahochan1]

I know what you mean about the angst, for some reason when I watch the J-drama compared to all the other versions of HYD I'm always crying when it's sad. *_*

Did you see Episode 3? Things seem to be looking up for our hero and heroine! YAY! *squee*

And I thought that Akira looked so hot in that episode. :D

[with2l]

I think Tsukasa did plan that just to break Makino's heart. awww. I think the dorama made Shigeru into a "nicer" person so the viewer would like her. She's a lot more calculating in the anime.

and I LOVE that huge bunny! I'm really looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully more Rui scenes. lol.

[tinyangl]

Ugh. That would totally suck though... Depressing to think that he's going THIS far to break her. Damn it. At least she has Rui there to help pick up the pieces? Heee. And I don't remember much of the anime... It's been too long since I've watched it, how calculating was she?

That huge bunny looks SO adorable. And humongous too! They must've gotten it specially made. I was a little disappointed at the Rui scenes this episodes, especially with as much screen time as he got last episode, but then I remember that duh, this is a TSUKASA and Tsukushi story... But then again, for me? The couch and the tumbling and the closeness? Totally made up for it in the long run.

[with2l]

in the anime Shigeru knew that Makino likes him, but ask Makino to help them to be together. When they kissed, it was at school and Shigeru saw that Makino was there (along with the other F3). In the end where Makino wanted to take the exam and be an exchange student. There was a lot of moments where she mislead Makino into thinking that Tsukasa really likes her. Evil I tell ya! lol.

Rui is a total sweetheart during this arc in anime/manga. I really really wish they would have been together. Ah...

That bunny and their outfits reminds me so much of Princess Princess D.

I'm glad to see Rui playing violin in the 2nd episode! Too cute. The couch scene was so cute! Now I just wish they really date each other in real life? Since he's no longer with his girlfriend.

[meganbmoore]

Oguri Shun is single?

*heads for Japan*

[janlake83]

i love your summary and your pictures and i totally am with you in the tsukasa must have planned the whole kiss thing so that tsukushi would back off, damn his responsibities and his mom is the devil in chanel, i mean the guilt thing but i think something else is going on there.

also i love that they're going to have the soujiro/yuki otp in here.

the bunny and akira's mom and sisters, ahh i totally can't wait for the next episode, but why is tsukushi passed out in the last frame of the previews???

[tinyangl]

Thanks so much for the compliments! I'm glad you like it. And yes, I definitely agree that Tsukasa planned it. And his mom's just mean. There has to be something going else going on, he can't be forced to do EVERYTHING just because of guilt... Who knows though.

Yes! The Soujirou/Yuki pairing is genius.

I have NO idea why Tsukushi's passed out. I want to know why she's working again! It's insane, doesn't she work enough?

[adelly_kins]

*squeals* I wish that almost-kiss had ended up as a real kiss. ANd wouldn't it have been wicked AWESOME if Tsukasa were to walk in JUST AT THAT MOMENT??

...

Okay, sorry, but my OTP's always been HZL/SC (i.e. Rui/Tsukushi) in the Tawaiwanese drama.

But ya know, I just might check this jdrama out...it looks really awesome and Doumyouji's totally hawt...although I kinda think Soujirou looked WAY better in the anime...

But I still LOVE Rui the best (in the manga/anime and Meteor Garde [the Taiwan drama], I mean)....

Saaaay, did they have Rui/Tsukushi hints in this like they did with Meteor Garden 2?

Darn, now I want to check this one out as well...you made it sound so interesting!

Oh and sorry for randomly popping up and like squealing here...I just love all things Hana Yori Dango so much!

[tinyangl]

Oh man. It'd've been MADNESS if Tsukasa had just walked in! Although with the way he's acting, he "wouldn't have cared." Or something along those lines anyway.

And I'm SO leaning towards Rui/Tsukushi with the way they're going these past two episodes.

As for this drama... It's really pretty good, in its second season and all. Although I can't remember much of the anime, I can tell you that Soujirou looks SO much better than he did last season. it's a bit surprising because he never really did anything for me before.
And I will ALWAYS love Rui the best.

As for hints... They've only started it this last two episodes... Well, in my opinion anyway.

And yay! If I bring people to watch this, all the better! I'm glad you found it interesting.

And no worries about the popping up and squealing. I do it ALL the time... And that's not very good either. XP

[adelly_kins]

Lol, now I don't know which pairing to support, honestly

[tinyangl]

Hee! They're making it purposely difficult, I think. I'm just going to wait this season out to see what direction they're taking it. I think I could be happy with either coupling at the end. (Although I totally think they should stick to canon and end it with Tsukasa/Tsukushi
