Byakkotai (Part 1) And Hana Yori Dango 2 Ep.1
I FINALLY got to watch these two dramas! Thanks to [info]amyoomi for uploading Byakkotai on mediafire. My Clubbox download died because I'm having issues with Clubbox. And I never knew my brother was also downloading Hana Yori Dango 2 on his computer, so I gave up on my download, since he was downloading at a way faster speed. 

I'm such a sad girl. I couldn't help not to watch Byakkotai when it was done downloading, and it was already 1am in the morning. It wasn't fun watching people getting bombed and killed at 3am in the morning. What's even worse was, I couldn't turn my speaker on too loud because my room is right next to my parents. So just imagine me looking at pictures for 2 hours straight without sound, because I can barely hear my speakers anyway. Don't ask me why I never thought of using my earphones, because I just thought of that this morning when I was DONE watching the whole drama. I'm such a dummy! =.= I guess I was too excited to watch the drama and I really wanted to watch it before school starts. I ended up going to school looking like a zombie today! Oh god. 




Hahaha. I LOVE the Grandma. She's so funny! XDDD Look, the Dad's like still reading his newspaper. LOL. 




Yamapi is helping a lost kid find his way home here?! The kid is soooooooooooooo cute! I want him! 



I thought the way Yamapi was running with traditional clothes on is so cute and funny. XD Hahahaha. I love watching him run! LOL.



Does the girl on the right look familiar to you? It's Tsukushi's friend, Yuki from Hana Yori Dango! =OOO




I don't know why, but I just LOVE this scene. God, you don't see pretty Maple trees like this in Canada....at least, I don't! The Maple leafs here are so fugly!



I wanted to laugh so badly at this part, but I couldn't. >< Hahaha. They're looking at these girls practicing sword fight (?), and they're like, woah. *blink blink* XDD (Yamapi's eyes were blinking) 



I'm so glad Yamapi doesn't have a lover in the drama. I don't think I can handle watching it and not get jealous. lol. 



Out of nowhere, you see Yamapi beating up people in the drama. o.O But I love watching him get mad and beat up people. XD Hahaha. I have issues! =.=





I wanted to laugh here too. Yamapi's "OH MY GOD" face was so funny! HAHAHAHA~



He's playing with the dog like it was some toy. =.= Poor doggie! But this was such a CUTE scene~~ You see Yamapi's gentle and naive side~~ <3

Hana Yori Dango 2.

I watched it with Chinese subtitles. Their English amuses me so much. XD I'm so mean. I shouldn't be criticizing their English skills, but it's so funny and cute that I can't help it, especially Mao and Shun's English. Oii, it was so hilarious! Hahaha. However, I thought Jun had pretty good English because I could at least understand what he was saying. I think if it wasn't for the subs, I wouldn't even notice that Mao and Shun were speaking in English. lol. Hmmm. I thought they showed too much "flashback" scenes in the beginning, it was really unnecessary. I wish they could cut back on the flashback scenes. I mean, I know they want to refresh the audience's memory from the first season, but I seriously thought all that flashback was a bit waste of time. They could've just gave me more Tsukushi x Rui or Tsukushi x Tsukusa moments. I also thought that they seem to have rushed things a bit in the 2 hours of show time. There were some parts where things didn't quite fit (just littel bits and pieces of detail stuff), or they just didn't quite seem to make sense. I don't know. I think I was expecting something better out of the first episode, like the part how they ended Toma's apperance was really weird to me. I feel like there was a lot of undeveloped things missing in the first episode, I hope they'll pick up more of that in the later episodes. Overall, the first episode was quite satisfying. I cried at the part where Tsukushi confessed that she really loves Tsukasa. Inoue Mao is such an amazing actress. I don't think they can ever find a better Tsukushi, or a better person than Jun to be Domyouji. 

Oh, and in case if you're interested, there are Traditional Chinese subtitles for Hana Yori Dango 2 HERE. And there's also subs available for Byakkotai (Part 1) HERE. (Scroll down the page until you see a torrent link)

Sugoii~~ The subs are out so fast! But I sometimes have doubts about Subpig's accuracy on the subs because they seem to release everything so fast.

I'm still waiting on my Byakkotai (Part 2) raw file to finish downloading. I want to watch it tonight!

haha lisa you're so crazy! i was in the same situation last nite....or should i say this morning. my download finished at around 1am and i was so tempted to stay up and watch it, but i knew i would not be able to go to work. so i watched just to the part where pi and koki went to the museum place.

i just got home now and to my surprise my download of the hq version from d-addicts was also done. that was super fast! considering how big the file was...it didn't even take 24hrs. so i'll be watching the hq one instead...i just started downloading part2 and it's so slow, only at 5% right now...i don't think i'll get to see part2 tonite. =P

Hahahaha. I DO think I'm crazy for staying up to watch it WITHOUT sound too! XDD But I couldn't help it! Ah, I blame it all on Yamapi, he's evil! LOL.

My HQ version is STILL downloading from d-addicts. =.= I watched the lower quality raw files. ^^ Ah, I don't really care about the quality anymore...as long as I get to watch it! XDD Though I still want to DL the HQ version to keep on my computer. XDD

OMG... I loved Yamapi's OMG face, too. And the sound he made. God forbid I ever heard him make one of those sounds he makes in person. Can you say orgasm on the spot? XDDD

The girl in the scan where you said she is Yuki from HYD, she also looked familiar to me because she was one of the cheerleaders in Dance Drill. XD

OMG. YES! That was like, the best part in the drama. XDD I nearly wanted to squeal, but I couldn't! >< (because I'll probably wake up my parents up) I never expected Byakkotai to have such funny scenes. XDD I thought it would be more serious and sad! ^^;

Ehh, is she? I didn't watch Dance Drill, but I was quite surprised to see her in Byakkotai. XD I was so surprised to see that there's a lot of women in this drama. Hahahaha. XXDD And they can fight too! lol.

thanks for the link to the download. I always thought because the registion is closed I can't view the download, I guess I just didn't look careful enough!

It was definitely too much flashbacks! But there's 15 episodes this season, so can't wait to see what's going to happen in the next episode

No problem! ^^ Ohhh...I think before, they weren't done subbing it yet, but they just put the thread up on their site. They're so fast with subs though. Amazing!

YES! Definitely too much flashbacks. I'm so glad they decided to make it longer this season. YAY. More episodes to watch! =D I can't wait for the next episode. Friday needs to come soon!

when I ask my grandmother (she speaks both Japanese and Chinese), she said their subs are pretty good.

Did you watch the anime/manga before? If they would to follow that it would be a sad season to watch. I hope they made some good adjustment to the dorama so that doesn't happen.

OH WOW. Your grandma speaks both Japanese and Chinese? That's amazing!

I never watched the anime/manga before, so I don't really know if they do follow the manga....but from what I've read on other people's blog who has read/seen the managa, they seem to have skipped/changed a lot of parts! ^^ I just hope they make a good ending! =D

yeah, sad thing is I only learn Chinese from her and never learn Japanese. Only if I knew I was going to be addicted to dorama! lol

They follow the major plots but change a lot of details. If they do do that it will be pretty sad season.

Hmmm. Maybe you can get her to teach you some Japanese? I would LOVE to learn, so I don't have to rely on subs to understand! XDD

OH NO! I don't want a sad season. I want Domyouji and Tsukushi to be together!! =( I want to murder the mother. She' so evil! GRRRR.

it's probably too late now because whenever she teaches me something it's mostly nagging. lol. I learn to tune it out. I'm trying to look into ways to learn it online. Just enough to understand drama is enough for me.

Sad to say that other girl that you see in the preview will come between those two. She's much worse than the mother in my opinion. Evil I tell ya!

LOL. I only understand like maybe 1/4 of the stuff they say in drama. XDD

OMG. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN NOW. I just watched episode 2 awhile ago. OMG. THAT GIRL. SHE MUST DIE! RAWR. I HATE HER!

What's worse is that in the manga/anime. She knew that Makino likes him but she forces Makino to set them up somehow. I have a feeling they will make her into a nicer character in the drama just to piss me off! lol. I hated it in manga/anime where they make her character similiar to Makino, well, except the boyfriend stealing part.

I would understand more if they just stay in a Japanese resturant and all they do is order food. lol.
