Japanese Drama of the Week: "Hana Yori Dango"

Since this Blog is going to talk about the greatest things in the Japanese Pop Culture, we have to talk about this phenomenon that has been shocking japan since "terebi" was introduced into the island: the "dorama" or simply, television dramas, that appears weekly on the television, and that consists in 11 or 12 chapters, sometimes, if the "dorama" is a hit, then the network makes another season, or a special.

Today's "dorama" is simply on of the biggest dramas in Japan, lasting 2 season, and ending with a MOVIE (yes, a BIG screen movie, also a succes in the box office), this drama is called "Hana Yori Dango" or "Boys Over Flowers" and is based on the wildly popular Manga of the same name, tells us the story of a binbo (poor) girl, that goes to japan's most exclusive High-School, just to suffer to the bullying of the "leaders" of the school, the group called "F4" (Flower 4) which are the heirs of Japan's most influential enterpreneurs.

Is a nice comedy that also involves a lot of romance, action, and of course, drama, you can't miss it, you can watch full subbed episodes @ http://www.mysoju.com
