I realize Hana Yori Dango (Boys Before Flowers) has been in the news a lot recently, thanks to the high profile Taiwan and China collaboration remake Meteor Garden 2018 and also J-dorama adapting the sequel Hana Nochi Hare (Hanadan Next Season) which just started airing recently. I’m unexpectedly loving Hana Nochi Hare (seriously, it’s adorable and charming in the Hanadan way) which has seen the cameo of Matsumoto Jun (Domyouji Tsukasa) in the first episode and will see more original Hanadan F4 members to come if it follows the manga storyline. In real life the original F4 did unite this week to celebrate Matsuda Shota‘s wedding toe model Akimoto Kozue, with Oguri Shun and Abe Tsuyoshi posing next to the groom and a caption on the picture says “taken by Domyouji” which means MatsuJun was also there and took the pic. So much awwwwww I can’t even. Happy memories y’all!
I heard Johnny was getting more lenient with social media, but I guess not too much if Matsumoto couldn’t even appear on wedding pictures…
#TheFeels. I had to marathon the HanaDan when I saw this. Simoly the best version of all.
By the way Oguri Shun just cameod in Episode 3 ?.i wish Mao inoue would guest as well.
I can’t wait for more cameos! But I would really die if Tsukushi appeared for real.
Wow that make me feel so old ! Hana yori dango was my first jdrama back in 2006… I can’t believe F4 are now getting married and all.
Congratulations to the newly weds !
Oguri Shun and Matsuda Shota, my favourite ! \o/
All married… time goes fast…
I just realised 3 out of F4 are married… we really are getting old…T_T
Gyabooo…
Ms.K, please let me join you on d’awwwww…
Awww this is the best reunion ever! I miss this F4. Like the Meteor Garden they all are starting to get married!!! Now I feel super old!!! Lol
Hmmm did MatsuJun and Mao break up? I thought I read a long time ago they were dating
I’m wondering too. What about Yamapi and Satomi? Read he went Hawaii with a young model for a week, then later he was caught going to Satomi’s home after his trip. There are also news that they have already broken up…… sad 🙁
I’m a Maotsujun shipper but I think they already broke up IF they ever dated. The last “sighting” with photos (they weren’t photographed together but they were in the same place) was back in 2014 and with Jun’s recent dating rumors, my shipper heart is already sinking.
Honestly I think it’s a gift that they even dated in the first place. And it was for so long too. It sucks that Johnny’s is so strict with its idols even when they’re in their thirties.
I heard they were dating from HYD-era up to around 2015 I think? That’s a freaking long time to be dating without even making your relationship public even if it was an open secret to fans and media.
I feel sad they broke up but their chemistry will always live on through HYD, of all the actors to play Makino and Doumyoji in any version of HYD, Matsujun and Mao had the best chemistry.
Nice to see a F4 reunion. I like this version the best.
matsujun couldnt appear in the photo because those ridiculous rule as jyanis 🙁
congratulation Matsuda Shota,have a happy marriage..
now only Matsujun left.
Oguri Shun looks so good. He is not normally I guy I’d find handsome but there is something about him. I was not turned off even when he played with his nose in Gintama film.
Yeah Shun is not classically handsome but he’s very charismatic and talented, he was incredible in Border.
Same with Matsujun, he’s not a ‘typical’ handsome type but he has his own charm and appeal and can kill with a glance lol.
i just realize, if oguri shun, kim hyun joon, vic zhou have kids, and matsu-jun, lee min hoo, jerry yen still single.
what a strange coincidence lol. btw matsuda-san congratulation!
Congratulations to the happy couple! It’s so nice to think of the OG F4 hanging out together even now, attending each other’s weddings too.
And yeah, Hana Nochi Hare totally has that HanaDan charm but that’s mostly because of Sugisaki Hana, she is adorable as Oto. Hirano Sho’s acting though…..yikes. I can only hope he gets better in coming episodes since jdramas don’t live shoot.
hanazawa rui was in the 3rd episode too…so cute,,,wearing pink sweater and as usual..his sleep a lot… 🙂
