"Now I understand. It's not that you're trying to measure the value of life. You don't want to have to decide the value of life."

"Wouldn't it be sad if you started to hate the thing you love? It's important to reset your feelings."

Hana Yori Dango is the best Boys Over Flowers adaptation period. MatsuJun perfectly captured Doumyoji's complexities, Inoue Mao perfectly captured Tsukushi's tenacity, Oguri Shun perfectly captured Hanazawa Rui's "my pace" mannerism, Matsuda Shota perfectly captured Nishikado Soujiro's fuckboy attitude and charm, and Abe Tsuyoshi perfectly captured Mimasaka Akira's gentleness and the voice of the group. The rest of the cast were perfectly cast, and their acting was on point.

Don't say anything if you haven't watched this version of Boys Over Flowers, because the other adaptations just don't compare.

FINALLY SOME K◇ BTS STARTING WITH THE LEGEND HIMSELF, KEIICHI KUZURYUU

[lovelybaka]

I KNEW THAT I KNEW HIS FACE !!

Kuzuryuu Keiichi is played by the same actor as Mimasaka Akira in Hana Yori Dango

It took me two years but now I KNOW !

the fact that abe tsuyoshi/li zhendong (kuzuryuu’s actor ♦️) has two separate names for his chinese side and japanese side is very extremely significant. i haven’t personally heard of anyone else who does this before; even i use the same sinitic name for all CJKVH languages (which is the norm for all sinitic people). the more you think about it, this could be a very convenient, well-chosen, solid option for some folks of certain walks of life, but they’re definitely a minority and this practice will probably never become popular or the majority (which is a good thing; let’s keep it that way).

anyway, i love that he has two names—what a special decision!—and that it works perfectly for his job as an international actor. i think kuzuryuu ♦️ deserves to have a separate chinese name too, because he’s special too and we all love him.

🇯🇵 九頭竜慧一（くずりゅう ケイイチ）Kuzuryuu Keiichi

🇨🇳🇭🇰🇹🇼🇲🇴 黃吟德（ㄏㄨㄤˊ ㄧㄣˊㄉㄜˊ）Ng Gim-tek

if anyone’s interested in onomastics and etymology...

九頭竜 = “nine-headed dragon”

慧一 = “intelligent; clever” + “one” (usually used in given names to signify that the name-bearer is an eldest son. the whole name does not mean “the intelligent one” in the english sense of saying “the person who is intelligent”)

黃 = “yellow”

吟 = “to chant; to recite; song (ancient classical poetry)”

德 = “virtue; morals”

not only highly dignified and extravagant, his names are coincidentally very symbolic of and foreshadowing his character arc lol, i’m just following the canon path...
