I tend to forget how well Japan adapts its own mangas due to playing up the visuals to match the source material. The first stills and teaser are out for the J-dorama adaptation Hana Nochi Hare otherwise known as Boys Before Flowers Season 2. Starring Sugisaki Hana, Hirano Sho, and Nakagawa Taishi, the drama picks up a years after the F4 have graduated their elite high school and follows the similar set up with a new group of rich kids as the alpha clique known as the C5 and a poor girl attending under a scholarship. I’m curious whether this new story by the same mangaka as the original has the same hooks that made HanaDan so wildly popular, and whether the live-action will bring a new generation of viewers to the world of rich kids learning about life through encounters with a spunky poor girl with heart.
Teaser for Hana Nochi Hare:
ahhhhhh i’m so excited! not familiar with the girl but she looks great for the part~
i’m also like 60% sure that Kinpuri, the new group Johnny’s will be debuting and the group of male lead Hirano Sho, will sing for the drama and have it as their debut song (like Kisumai with Ikemen desu ne). if i’m wrong…. then it’s the reason why i have 40% for doubting lol
that hair is definitely better for domyoji
Gosh I hate her hair cut.
