Love Rerun
(ラブリラン / Rabu Riran)
MyDramaList rating: 6.5/10

Hello! It’s been a while (or at least it feels like it’s been a while), but I’m back with another review! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, I’ve been taking interviews for a new job and then suddenly there were a few deaths/accidents in the family and I also had a holiday planned – I went to South-Korea for a week (yes, way too short and my jetlag is insane). I never really have jetlag, but I think it really had to do with that it was such a long journey for such a short trip – I definitely want to go back for a longer time in the future. Anyways, I just got back a couple of days ago and I’m still not quite getting used to going back to normal life, so I’m just going to watch some dramas until I settle down again (always the best medicine).

This time I watched another short Japanese romantic comedy, I probably put it on my list because the story sounded interesting. It’s a really simple story, so the summary won’t take too long.

Love Rerun is about 30-year old Minami Sayaka (played by Nakamura Anne) who doesn’t have any experience with men because she’s had an unfailing one-sided crush on her childhood friend Sagisawa Ryosuke (played by Otani Ryohei) for 15 years. They agree to meet up on her birthday and full of determination to finally confess her feelings the next day, Sayaka goes to bed.
When she wakes up, she’s suddenly in a strange house, wearing really fashionable clothes (unlike her normal style) and there’s a strange man walking around claiming they live together. This guy, Machida Shohei (played by Furukawa Yuki), tells her that they’ve been going out for the last three months but are now broken up.
Completely confused, Sayaka checks her calender and finds out that three months have passed and she has lost her memories of these past three months.
Her new lifestyle and the fact that she apparently got a boyfriend in such a short time and doesn’t remember any of it puzzle her so much she decides to try her hardest to remember everything that happened. After all, it turns out she has even slept with Shohei and not remembering that freaks the hell out of her, as she still feels like the 30-year old virgin she remembers herself to be.
However, whenever she remembers fragments, it only seems to make things more complicated.
The feelings she forgot she had for Shohei come back while Ryosuke comes back on his rejection of her confession, but Sayaka needs to ‘rerun’ through her lost memories to recall whom she really loved before she forgot.

Okay, so most of all, even though acute amnesia is a way too common theme in dramas, it’s always caused by some sort of accident (usually an actual (car) accident where they hit their head or something). But in Sayaka’s case, it seems to not have been caused by anything at all, except maybe stress about her situation. It’s only explained as temporary amnesia in the beginning, but the actual cause remains ambiguous. A few people in the series suggest that maybe ‘she lost her memories to gain a second chance’ with whoever she really likes, either Shohei or Ryosuke.
I think that in the end this could have been the case, because there seemed to be some misunderstandings concerning her break-up with Shohei and she managed to fix that by eventually remembering everything (even the truths that Shohei didn’t know), causing them to get back together.
Other than that, it felt like they could’ve used more plot to build the story. It feels like they dragged on the miscommunications for longer than necessary, because now the happy ending seemed very sudden and although it was ‘happy’, it wasn’t completely ‘satisfying’.

To be honest, I was all Team Ryo-chan in the beginning. I thought he was way better, sweeter, and more good-looking than Shohei (sorry bro). He was the best childhood friend crush guy ever – he just realized his feelings too late. He seemed like the obvious option for her to end up with, but of course in dramas the girl usually doesn’t end up with the guy she likes in the beginning – however, I thought it was a pity.
Shohei is really stiff and standoff-ish, he rarely smiles and has a slightly harsh way of speaking (is what I thought). In the end it made sense why he treated Sayaka that way, because he was angry with her and had all the right to be. But before we find out the truth it was really hard for me to understand what she found so attractive about him.

On a side note, as far as Furukawa Yuki goes, I find it a pity that they type-casted him into another Irie-kun. His face naturally doesn’t have a lot of emotion, but he can absolutely do it, I’ve seen it before, most recently in Erased. But he was literally Irie-kun in this drama, and they could’ve given him a few more layers.

There are two more characters that I need to discuss, first of all Ogasawara Kyoko (played by Oomasa Aya). She is a top model and Shohei’s ex-girlfriend who is determined to get back together with him. In the end, it turns out that she is also indirectly responsible for Shohei and Sayaka’s break-up. But she isn’t all bad and bitchy, because she does reflect on her behavior. She does realize that what she’s done to them is wrong and she still wants Shohei to follow his heart.
I knew this actress from other series, such as Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge – I always thought this was Toda Erika for some reason but it’s her, lol. I mixed up their names and faces, I guess.
The other person is Aoyama Mizuki (played by Katase Nana). She is Ryosuke’s love interest before he realizes his true feelings for Sayaka. Mizuki is a really kind character. Even though she loves Ryosuke and has some selfish characteristics, she is really mature and when she sees that he really is in love with Sayaka, she sees she’s fighting a lost game and lets him go. I really liked her character, she was in every way very supportive of the people around her but was still strong enough to keep going her own way.

I really like Nakamura Anne. Not only is she gorgeous, this was the first time I saw her as the protagonist in her own drama and the ‘old’ Sayaka she portrayed looked so different from her usual look! You can see the difference in the poster above, I think she did a very good job. I mean, of course, the story wasn’t that powerful or special and Sayaka’s character didn’t exactly stand out that much from other female protagonists in other dramas, but I was positively surprised because I hadn’t seen this side of her before. That’s why I’m praising her. I’ve only ever seen her as cameo/guest actors in other series and she is always kind of the same pretty fashionable woman, so it was nice to see her versatility in acting as well. It reminded me a bit of the girl from Fated to Love You (her ‘old’ look reminded me a bit of the girl from the Taiwanese version).
As it turns out, Sayaka changed her appearance because she wanted to move on from Ryosuke’s rejection and she desperately wanted to change herself. Shohei helped her in this determination and in the process he fell in love with her when he saw how much she thrived when she did.

Two side characters that I also liked were Sayaka’s friend Yumi (played by Satsukawa Aimi) and Shohei’s junior Hayato (played by Ichikawa Tomohiro). I liked how chill Yumi was in the whole situation and she always remained loyal to Sayaka. I liked how she was a loyal friend and still kept out of the drama herself (that’s also difficult to do sometimes when a friend is in trouble). What I liked the most about Hayato is that they broke the cliche with him. In the beginning we are fooled into thinking that he played around with Sayaka, but in the end he tried to take revenge on her because HE WAS IN LOVE WITH SHOHEI. Like, I have never seen any Japanese drama cover such a natural case of homosexuality. No-one had any freak comments or anything about it, no one reacted weirdly about it – I thought that was really great.

I didn’t like Sayaka’s mom. She only appeared in one episode and in the end I guess she was okay, but I just couldn’t get over the fact how rude and tactless she was when they had that dinner with Ryosuke and Mizuki. She was just poking around other people’s business, asking everyone about marriage even though it was a sensitive subject for literally everyone in the room. That really ticked me off. Don’t just go telling people ‘shouldn’t you get married soon, you’re not that young anymore’ when you don’t know their circumstances? Isn’t that common sense? Mind your own business please? Sorry, that was just really a no-no for me.

The main issue in this drama for me was that it took me a very long time to warm up to Shohei, mostly because the miscommunications between Shohei and Sayaka dragged on for so long. The reasons why she didn’t stick with Ryosuke were fair enough but I still found it hard to accept it because of my personal opinion. And because it personally took me so long to sympathize with Shohei, I didn’t really feel their chemistry until the end and then it was suddenly happy ending and done.
So they could’ve built a little more in their chemistry to make it more believable. We only see Sayaka’s part of the story, and it would’ve really helped for me to see more of Shohei’s part to at least get more confirmation how he truly felt about her, because we only learn about this from other people and not directly from him himself.

In the end, Sayaka and Shohei’s relationship of the missing three months is fragmentarily pieced together, until the part where the misunderstanding surrounding their break-up occurred and Sayaka lost her memories.
But when you find out the truth, Shohei’s behavior and hesitation to start over with her is very logical, I mean, she may have forgotten but he still has all the painful memories – it makes perfect sense that he wouldn’t be thrilled to start over as if nothing had happened. In that sense, Sayaka was a little selfish because she only cared about her own. She thought ‘it doesn’t matter if I regain my memories, we can just start over and it doesn’t have to be the same’, but she really did have to recall what happened first.
Because she broke up with Shohei with the lie that she was still in love with Ryosuke, but in truth Kyoko had manipulated her by telling her about Shohei’s big chance to work in London. Sayaka didn’t want to stand in the way of his career, so she decided to break his heart and let him go where he was supposed to go.
Sayaka remembers this just as Shohei is about to go to London, while Shohei hears it directly from Kyoko, who finally comes clean about what she knows and what she’s done.
This vital piece of information was what was needed to fix their relationship – because she needed to re-live her love for Shohei from the beginning and re-evaluate what happened to see that she’d made a mistake. And in a way, it was good for her. Because she literally learned new things about herself and learning about those things she gained more confidence to do it again and better.

It wasn’t the best drama I’ve ever seen, but certainly not the worst either. It’s a simple love story in which some things needed to be re-evaluated to make the love between two people even stronger. You could see growth in the characters, and even though there could’ve been a little more depth, it was entertaining enough.
As I’ve realized, Japanese dramas usually don’t have as much depth as Korean dramas. In Korean dramas, there’s always these hundred side plots tying a lot of people together from childhood or acquaintances or whatever, and the relationships in Japanese dramas are usually way more one-dimensional. It has its charm, but in this drama I really missed a little more intrige.

I’m going to watch another Japanese drama now, very curious. Since coming back from Korea I really want to get into K-dramas again, but I’m obediently going down my list now.
Sorry for the short review (it’s partly jetlag), and I hope to be able to come back into better shape writing-wise. Until next time!

Hana Nochi Hare
(花のち晴れ / Hana Nochi Hare)
MyDramaList rating: 7.0/10

Hello~!
It hasn’t been that long since my last review (which took me a long time to finish), but I just couldn’t wait to finish this as soon as I started it. After a short break after the first two episodes I pretty much binged the rest in a couple of days. It’s been a while for me since I watched a Japanese drama but this brought back all the reasons why I used to like them so much.

Anyhow! I guess it won’t be much of a surprise when I say that this was on my list because of Hana Yori Dango. I did have some doubts at first because I really wasn’t sure whether it would be just some lame remake of the original, but actually from episode 1 on it brought back all these old HYD feels and I just loved it. The cheesiness, the dorky romance, the anime-based characters… I didn’t realize how much I missed those. Japanese dramas have a completely different vibe from Korean dramas, and I realized that I want to start watching more Japanese dramas again. There’s a couple more on my list after this one, so I will stick to them for a while.

So, this story is a sequal to the classic Hana Yori Dango from 2005/6, it takes place quite a while after the F4 has graduated and the main setting is the same academy, Eitoku Gakuen. Ruling the school now is a 5-member group that calls themselves C5 (Correct5), whose members have devoted themselves to keep order and respect at the school and keep it the way it’s meant to be – for rich elite kids only. Whenever a student is found out of actually being poor, there is a tradition of ‘peasant-hunting’ in which the C5 comes after you and forces you to quit Eitoku. This also involves public bullying from the other students (the same way as it used to go in the F4 times).
The leader of this group is Kakuragi Haruto (played by Hirano Sho), the only son of a nation-wide conglomerate. His father has always treated him very harshly, always saying that he’s not worthy and he has no use for him if he’s not ‘perfect’, so Haruto has always been trying to gain his father’s approval.
The other members of the group are Maya Airi (played by Imada Mio), Taira Kaito (played by Hamada Tatsuomi), Narumiya Issa (played by Suzuki Jin) and Eibi Sugimaru (played by Nakata Keisuke).
On the other hand, we have Edogawa Oto (played by Sugisaki Hana), a girl from a formerly rich family whose father’s company went bankrupt and has caused them to lose all their wealth. Her father is now out on the sea trying to make some money while she and her mother live in a small house in a scrappy neighborhood. She’s trying hard to remain out of trouble at school, and not just because she doesn’t want to be peasant-hunted.
When she was still rich, she was betrothed to her childhood friend Hase Tenma (played by Nakagawa Taishi). Their mothers were best friends and before Tenma’s mother passed away, she made Oto promise to stay with her son forever and remain at Eitoku until she was 18 before they would get married.
So now Oto’s goal is to make it through her Eitoku days until she turns 18. But of course things don’t always turn out as you plan them and she gets involuntarily involved with Haruto as they both discover something about each other that can reveal something really big if made public. They decide to make a pact, but Haruto falls for Oto quite fast.
Also, while Haruto is the leader of Eitoku Gakuen, Tenma is the leader of rivaling school Momonozono so there is already enough rivalry between the two guys. With her feelings growing for both guys, who will Oto eventually choose? Will she go for the ‘hana’ or the ‘hare’?

I discovered something interesting about the titles of both HYD and HNH. I was looking for an English translation of ‘Hana Nochi Hare’, but it’s quite different from Hana Yori Dango, which is an actual expression in Japanese (although used as a wordpun for the series).
In Hana Yori Dango, the ‘hana’ is a direct reference to Hanazawa Rui, the second male lead in the series. The way ‘dango’ is written, in some indirect way leads to Domyouji, so the series is basically ‘rather Domyouji than Hanazawa’. In the case of Hana Nochi Hare, this exact same logic is used, where ‘hana’ is an indirect indication to ‘Hase’ and ‘hare’ refers to ‘Haruto’ – causing the series to be titled ‘From Hase to Haruto’.
The symbolic meaning of the original expression is ‘rather something you can eat (eg. dumplings) than something you can look at (such as a flower)’.
It’s clever that they came up with this expression and start to apply it to people: both Hanazawa Rui and Hase Tenma are the female lead’s first love interests because of how they look and the vibe/appearance they give off. They seem beautiful and gentle. And then there Domyouji/Kakuragi that bring all these extra things into their relationship and make her go for what’s inside rather than what’s on the outside.
Maybe this is old news for some, but it keeps amusing me. I think it’s really clever.

Anyways, although the premise of this story is a little different from Hana Yori Dango, the relationship between Haruto and Oto is almost a direct parallel to Domyouji and Makino’s. But with the little differences that made it not identical to the original, it remained interesting to watch. All the characters, no matter how much of a caricature they were, had a real and sympathetic side to them. Even though Airi was a complete psychopath in the first three episodes (and honestly I didn’t buy it for a second when she suddenly started acting nice), she turned things around for herself.
Same goes for Tenma’s stepmother Rie (played by Takaoka Saki), whom I was sure was going to turn out to be the evil bitch trying to break Oto and Tenma up, suddenly became nice as well, confessing that she did it all because she was jealous of Tenma’s deceased biological mother etc.
In these two cases, it came a bit unnatural to me because they depicted them as such bad characters in the beginning and then just dropped it.
Anyhow, I’m glad they did it with Airi because after that she became this great supportive friend to Oto.

I also liked the complexity of Oto’s feelings. Because it wasn’t just that she started liking the one more than the other – her feelings for Tenma were real until the end and she was willing to suppress whatever she felt for Haruto to be with him. When Tenma told her to go to Haruto at the end she actually cried because it hurt her so much to hurt him.
Despite these kind of feelings, it did bother me how much Oto took on herself and with that I mostly mean her habit of apologizing. I mean, it’s okay to apologize. But come on, she seemed to be turning every single thing that happened into something that might have been her fault. There were a lot of things in there that didn’t have anything to do with her and still she found a way to blame herself for it. I know this is very Japanese, but at a certain point it went too far. Sometimes you just need to think, ‘wait, no, this is actually not by fault/responsibility, I don’t need to apologize for it’.
And Tenma just had to keep repeating himself with, ‘why are you apologizing? I wish you wouldn’t apologize all the time’. I think it was actually pretty exhausting for him to keep repeating the same thing again and again but he still did it because he loved her so much. He loved her so much and he still looked out for her the most, he still considered her feelings above his own. He still told her he wouldn’t keep her by his side because he saw how much she liked Haruto.
Tenma was a really good character. Besides being portrayed as the knight in shining armor, he was just so incredibly sweet and way too considerate.
The sad thing in Asian dramas is that the second male lead is always the one who waits for the girl to settle her feelings and therefore always misses out in the end. It surprised me that Oto was so bend on staying with Tenma until the end and chose to suppress her feelings for Haruto (because why?).

Haruto was just like Domyouji, this clumsy but determined bean who has a talent for pushing through when he focusses on one thing at a time. I think they used that double date at the batting center as a great example to show this quality of his, he kept trying the hit the ball all day and at the end he managed to hit a homerun through pure determination, even though he couldn’t even hit a ball a few hours earlier.
They did a good job of showing both Oto and us viewers these sides to him, because these sides are what make us fall in love with the character. And the way he looked at Oto was just so heartwarming, whenever she smiled he would be like ‘heck yes she smiled, score!’
And I also liked how Haruto and Tenma also didn’t seem to genuinely hate each other. They were ‘forced to’ because of the rivarly between their schools, but Haruto was constantly looking up to how great Tenma was and Tenma was insecure of losing Oto to Haruto as well because he saw how straightforward he was about his feelings for her. I don’t know, there was a lot of humanity to be found in both their characters.

And can I also say that Haruto’s father was the biggest jerk that ever called himself a father in a drama ever? Honestly, the way he talks to his son as if he’s some sort of puppet or robot who just has to perform well or else he’s of no use to him – do you seriously consider yourself a father? I’m just sad Haruto’s mother wasn’t around, because now he grew up with this monster and it never even occurred to him that he didn’t need to be treated this way. He always just accepted the criticism and kept trying to prove him wrong. But that is no way to talk to your child. Your child needs to make mistakes in order to grow, you can’t walk up to your 8-year old after he got so nervous at a recital that he threw up and say ‘you’ve disappointed me, I don’t need you if you’re not a 100% perfect’. What the freck? That was so wrong.

I want to say something about the other C5 members apart from Airi, because I’ve already discussed her. I wish we could have seen some more personal development from the remaining members as well. Just as with Sojiro and Akira in the original series (although they had a second season for more background story), Kaito, Issa and Sugimaru kind of remained blandly in the background. They were sort of constant characters but they didn’t really contribute a lot. I think initially this had to do with the fact that it was explained that the C5 weren’t really ‘friends’ as much as they were ‘comrades’. Kaito was this guy stuck-up with the rules who initially cared more for the reputation of Eitoku Gakuen than for the fact that Haruto had feelings for someone. Issa (whose face strangely reminded me of Min Ho from SHINee?) was this typical flirty guy and Sugimaru was the athletic guy whose lines only consisted of quotes from famous athletes. Fun fact: you only ever see him lift weights and do push-ups, I don’t actually remember him doing any sports to prove that he’s an athlete, except perhaps for when his character is introduced. While Issa was a pretty direct reference to Sojiro (with the traditional ikebana thing and such), I’d actually thought that Sugimaru would’ve been the one helping out the most when it came to the sports match Haruto had to face against Tenma. Although, now I do remember him helping out in the judo department, my bad. But still, these characters are introduced as a stereotype in a specific field, but it never becomes more than the stereotype. I would’ve liked to see some more depth in these characters.

Another thing that I loved: the cameo appearances of the original HYD actors. I mean, I was already excited when Tama and the butler guy showed up, imagine my reaction when Rui and Sojiro appeared! I really liked how they brought back the whole nostalgic feel of the HYD universe by directly tying it to the original series. Of course it would’ve been the best to see Domyouji and Makino in it, but hey, you can’t have everything, I guess and this much already made me happy enough.

So, to talk a bit about the casting.
I’ve seen Sugisaki Hana in a few others dramas (although I don’t remember much in detail), but I think this was the first time I’ve seen her play this really sweet kind-natured girl. I remember her in Gakkou no Kaidan where she was a part of this C5 kind of group and was kind of a bitch (lol). And I know she’s been doing some voice acting (I still have to watch Mary and the Witch’s flower). Anyways, apart from her hairstyle in the series I don’t have a lot to comment on (I mean, come on, it looked like nothing). I think she had great chemistry with both her male co-stars, that’s why I was lowkey shipping both couples, lol.
I haven’t seen anything of Hirano Sho but I just found out he’s a member of an idol group and hasn’t actually done a lot of dramas. But I think he pulled off this part really well.
The last thing I’ve seen of Nakagawa Taishi is Minami-kun no Koibito, which I didn’t like so much. Even so he was one of the best actors in that series and I’m really glad to have seen him in this too, because his performance restored some more faith in me. I was able to reconfirm that he’s a pretty good actor and he showed some different sides as well. His character had more layers than in the other series, he wasn’t just the kind second male lead but he really struggled with everything that was going on, even though he didn’t want Oto to notice.

Someone I haven’t mentioned yet is the character of Nishidome Megumi, nicknamed ‘Megurin’ (played by Iitoyo Marie). She’s this super popular idol who falls for Haruto because he reminds her of this prince-like character in a otome game she’s hooked on – she does fall for him genuinely later. She was definitely a parallel to the character of Shigeru in the original series, this eccentric girl who also comes from a rich family who falls for Haruto and is strung into an engagement with him but eventually takes it upon herself to end their relationship because she sees how much he’s in love with Oto. I liked how likeable they made her character, even though everyone was annoyed with her in the beginning. But she was really precious, even when Haruto stumbled upon Oto and Tenma agreeing to go out with each other, she was actually crying because she felt so sorry for Haruto.

Oto’s mother (played by Kikuchi Momoko) was also a bean. She was this rich lady who was suddenly forced to live and earn money on her own and I felt really sorry for her because she was so unfamiliar with everything and she just wanted the best for her daughter. When she was reunited with Oto’s father in the end she was so happy – she was still this young girl inside. Not really a very mature mother figure, I would think, but she was really sweet.

Another nice side character was Konno-san, Oto’s colleague from the convenience store. Konno Arisa (played by Kinami Haruka) was this constant figure of familiarity for Oto. She was goofy and kind of an airhead, but she was the big sister she needed to fall back on whenever she didn’t know what to do anymore. I really liked her, even though I’m not sure if it was the writers’ intention to give her character such a meaning (maybe it’s just me, lol).

Lastly, my heart really went out to Kobayashi (played by Shiga Kotaro), Haruto’s elderly butler. He was such a precious man! They made him go through so many errands even though he was so old and frail and they made him proof-eat Megumi’s terrible food and everything and I was like ‘Why you do this to an old man??’ But he refused to throw away all of Haruto’s precious superstitious artefacts, and how he hid them all in his jacket was just precious. Also how he made him do the jigsaw puzzle with him and how he was like the father (or grandfather) Haruto never had… Loved him.

And I also loved Washington (lol). They are without a doubt selling this as merchandise somewhere. The little golden pig with the big belly who could suck away all your bad luck. He did a lot of good.

In the end, I think it was a really nice sequal, it tied together perfectly the original series and the next generation, therefore the sub-title ‘HanaDan Next Generation’ is well chosen. I think it also serves as a good series to re-introduce the new generation to the feeling and the story of the original Hana Yori Dango series (which will always be a classic in dramaland).
I realized that this story also didn’t have the focus on the difference in social class – whereas in HYD it was constantly about Makino being poor and Domyouji being rich and that being the reason they weren’t allowed to be together – this story stopped caring about that halfway through and just focussed on the relationships between all the people.
It was interesting to see how the story was moved to a more modern period. The whole bullying tradition at Eitoku seemed even more cruel because in this time and day it just seems barbaric and unreal to gang up on one person with the whole school. I mean, to see those guys actually hit a girl with no restraint and laughing it off – I was disgusted all the more because it was set in modern-day times. Ways of bullying also extended to the use of social media and non-stop spamming on Line – they even followed her home and filmed her mother to make fun of her for being poor – that’s just not human behavior. So that went a bit far.
But it didn’t go as far as it did in the original series, because Haruto was confronted with how crazy their approach was with the whole ‘peasant-hunt’ thing and he came clean about it and forbade it from happening again. The change in their behavior, where they learned from their silly actions, was very natural.
Even though it was only 11 episodes long, it didn’t feel rushed. They didn’t take too many plotlines on their plate and they wrapped everything up nicely. However, I really REALLY wanted to see a kiss between Oto and Haruto at the end. I mean, their chemistry was sizzling throughout the entire series and I was really looking forward to when they would finally both face their feelings for each other – but then all we got was this cheesy illusion in which Haruto sang a super corny song and the frame froze just before their lips touched. Oto had a wonderful kiss with Tenma, but they couldn’t show her and Haruto in their final romantic confrontation?
That was a bit of a bummer.
But I liked the series overall, it made me very happy and it made me realize that, when it comes to these kind of series, I really do miss Japanese dramas sometimes.

So prepare for some more Japanese drama reviews coming up!
I hope you liked my review, I’ll keep them coming 🙂

Bye-bye~!
