Hana Yori Dango J-Drama S2: Episode 04

A quiz show replaces regular programming. I present you five scenarios resembling a certain popular Japanese drama. Choose your answers carefully.

So I begin.

Scenario one. Your ex-boyfriend’s fiancé claims to be your new BFF (read: Best Friends Forevah!). Then, your ex-boyfriend’s best friend tries to be you lovah. And finally, your ex-boyfriend himself wants to win you back. What shall you do?

A. Dump the new BFF and the new lovah. Choose the ex.
B. Dump everyone. Choose Pikachu.
C. Dump the ex. Choose the new BFF and the new lovah.

A new BFF and new lovah ain’t so bad, right? Especially if the lovah is Shun. Ahem

Scenario two. The almost perfect Shun, erm, I mean, man gives hints of his utmost devotion and lurve for you. And when I say hints, I say, he spent the night holding your hand in the hospital and lightly kissed you on the lips in the morning (knowing you have not brushed your teeth and you have possible morning breath). How will you react?

A. Be surprised and cower underneath the hospital sheets.
B. Be disgusted and give him a sound reprimand.
C. Grab his collar, pull him into a tight embrace, and ravish– You get the idea.

Shun, bathe in morning light, on your beside in the morning… Do I even need to say the answer out loud? Heh.

Scenario three. Your fiancé is obviously in-lurve with your new best friend, who happens to be your fiancé’s ex. What will you do?

A. Let the two go. Grin and bear the pain.
B. Hold on to the fiancé. Grin and bear the pain.
C. Be outraged. Go into a bitching spree.

Oh, gawd. A bitching spree will be the least of the fiancé’s worries, if I were being duped.

Scenario four. You are forced into an engagement. While the young lady is lovely, kind, and spirited, you are painfully in-lurve with your ex-girlfriend. And to make it worse, your best friend is helping your ex to move on. What will you do?

A. Follow your heart. Screw everyone.
B. Bear the sacrifice. Be trapped into an arranged marriage.
C. Marry the fiancé. And make the ex your mistress.

No comment, please. *whisper*it’s c*whisper*

Scenario five. You are an audience member of an extremely entertaining Japanese drama. Your former sane self is reduced to school-girl giggling and sighing. You fantasize about dudes younger than you (and no I am not referring to my recent HP post). You impatiently wait Friday nights and dissuade social activities until you grab a hold of a copy of the current episode. You are on the verge of obsession and friends say you need intervention. What shall you do?

A. Try moderation. Just like dieting and exercise.
B. Quit cold turkey. Regain your sanity.
C. Ignore the warning signs. Surge toward the scary obsession.

Moderation is the key… for other people. Quitting cold turkey can kill you. Obsession is simply given a bad rap. It simply means utter fascination. Right?

There are no correct answers. But if you chose mostly A’s, I advice you to stay away from too much sappy romance. You’ll be easily duped. If you chose B’s, I am worried about you. Being a martyr in this day and age… Not good. If you answered C’s, well, I think we’ll be friends. To those who answered imaginary D’s, good for you.

P.S. Yes, I spend way too much time on HanaDan than deemed healthy. And I can’t believe this is the only series I am talking about this year. Must. Watch. Anime.
