watching it many years after this aired, of course there are a lot of things that are irrelevant. but I can say that all adaptations of Hana Yori Dango as huge stories in my opinion have a special place in my heart. even though it's very basic, the era in which you watched it for the first time leaves an atmosphere that's very nostalgic. from beginning to middle, lots of entertaining humor. continued focus on Doumyouji-Tsukushi and a bit of Rui-Shizuka packed quite well into those 78 minutes. can't give much of a review but it was great
