It's no secret that I am crazy... but the news of today is that my latest craze is Japanese drama!!
Yes, seriously - especially after being on my high from watching "Hana Yori Dango" which is *so* much better than "Meteor Garden" - my advice is to not watch it. Not ever.
A lot of people were comparing both the series; both the Japanese drama & "Meteor Garden" which is Taiwanese drama based on the very same manga "Hana Yori Dango" by the genius Yoko Kamio.
The stupid people! They should compare the original manga as well as the anime series to the dramas - not the dramas against each other! Fools! I bet they've never even {like a majority of them} read the manga.
To be honest, the art isn't as "cute" but the story is amazing! I wish I had thought of it! Honestly!
Watching "Hana Yori Dango" has inspired me to watch other dramas... so that explains my latest craze!!
Actually my dad offered to give me a credit card today - he asked if I needed one. I remember being so mad at my mum for giving my younger sister a credit card a few years back. Especially when it was the same week that they gave her a laptop computer!
Honestly that girl is the favourite of the family - she gets everything, & when I say "everything" I mean everything which means including my parents pushing her to study & stuff.
{I am the eldest child in the family, therefore I am automatically considered the "rebel".}
Back to the original topic, about the credit card - I told my dad "no" - I'm quite proud of myself. I spend like water & I'm still paying my boyfriend back for all the manga he bought for me at this really good bookstore when he went to Sydney for a day.
The last thing I need is a credit card right now which would encourage me to spend more. Maybe later when I've saved up more money & I've paid off everything I owe to anyone who I do owe money to in the first place!
About the manga, my boyfriend bought for me Hot Gimmick; volumes 1 - 6, as well as Imadoki!; volumes 1 - 5 [full set].
Actually Imadoki! is quite good, but it kind of makes me a bit angry. There are a lot of traits from the story that are exact carbon copies from "Hana Yori Dango". I know I can say "copy" because Hana Yori Dango was made YEARS before Imadoki! was created.
Did you know, "Hana Yori Dango" was originally published in 1992!? It's 2006 & the story of HYD is still going strong! That's how amazing it is!
Okay, back to "Imadoki!" - there are many traits that are stolen from Hana Yori Dango... such as - the main character girl being called a "weed", the girl's desk being stolen, the ending where the guy will grow to become the man worthy for the girl & then come for her
Although the guy main character didn't travel far away to New York unlike Hana Yori Dango - the girl instead in "Imadoki!" just went back to her home in the country - & then the guy joined her when he completed school.
Basically it's the same... they get seperated, the guy has to grow & then when he is a "man" he will be powered up to return to the girl & "collect" her I suppose...
So seriously, I'm not bashing. They were just too alike for "Imadoki!" to be enjoyed as it's own title.
Okay well maybe YOU don't see the similiarities, but it's the same to me!
I think tonight I'm going to watch "The Producers" at the cinema tonight with my sister & my boyfriend since they both surprisingly are interested in watching it. I'm curious to know if they realise that this movie is a MUSICAL!?
Haha, I won't tell them though. I want to see what their reaction is when we actually do watch the movie!
Hmmm... I think that's about all from me! I'll be back later - I swear!
Ja ne!
