Just as I expected from the Hana Yori Dango season 2, finally they have come to an end. In Japan, this movie is also known as Hana Yori Dango Final was released on June 28. It was released in Malaysia on October 30th. Since I’m not patience enough to watch it online, I even went to KLCC just to watch this movie. This movie was uploaded and you can watch all 8 parts through Mysoju.com. Here’s my review.

CAST
Most of the characters from the drama series were also appeared in this movie. But the story focuses more on the development of the couple only. I like Mao Inoue because she’s cute and innocent. I used to think that Matsu-jun is a very skinny guy because he used to wear few pieces of shirts especially in Gokusen drama. This is the first time he show more action and skin to the screen.

PLOT
In this movie, the story is all about what Makino and Domyoji went through before they can married to each other. Its kinda funny to see they going for adventure of their life time all over the world. From Las Vegas, Hongkong, deserted island and back to Japan.

This movie is not like a typical love drama but the movie is action packed with criminal-chasing actions, castaway on island, Casino Royale, conspiracies, black market auctions and many more. Too many variety in this movie but its not a heavy drama. It also have lots of humour elements. I don’t remember how many times I laughed out loud together with all the audiences in the cinema.

CINDERELLA STORY
It applies Cinderella’s plot where a rich person fell in love with a person from a different background. I guess the same plot was also applied in Ayat-Ayat Cinta, the beautiful love story about Fahri and Aisha.

INSERT SONGS
I never listened to Arashi’s song until I’ve watched the drama. This time again, the insert songs are One Love by Arashi and also Kiss hug by Aiko.

Okay. That’s all for a quick review. I’d like to give this movie a 3.5 stars. If you have plenty of time, do watch it online or buy the DVD. You can also check their website here if you do understand Japanese.

P/S – haven’t watch any J-drama and also love stories for the past 4 months.
