Rating: 4/5
Summary: The ending to the popular Hana Yori Dango tv shows (Hana Yori Dango 1 and 2). If you haven’t watched either, here’s a brief synopsis. Makino is a poor girl and Domyoji is a rich boy. They meet in highschool and after a long bullying episode, they fall in love and have to endure a lot of hardships because of their class differences. In the movie, Domyoji wants to marry Makino, but she’s hesitant. They go through more hardships and at the end, they discover the surprising (but also expected) source behind their hardships.
Impression: I watched HanDan 1 and part of HanDan 2 before watching this movie. It was good… a bit of action, some mystery and lots of pretty scenery. The only thing I didn’t really like was that there was a lot of Makino crying/being depressed and Jun yelling/being angry. I liked the sceneries and Jun speaking English (somewhere in the States! California?). He has such good intonation! I watched it on mysoju.
