thank you so much for posting this. thank god i got to discuss this with someone, its not everyone who watched south east asian dramas 😆 talking abt it, i saw HYD both seasons 😳 i saw meteor garden too but loved the jap version better so could not get myself to see the second one...i liked daoming Si, but Tukushi Makino - i prefer this girl over Shan cai, tukushi is rooted in my heart, like a tough weed 😉 so my comments are mostly based on Tukasa and Tukushi chan 😳
Both Daoming Si and Shan cai are not like SG, they are most definitely in the category of DE and MN. He is more mean than Mayank or Darcy, arrogance and built a wall for emotions, yes, the only difference being their relationships with their mothers, (in this case i do see some similarity btw mayank relationship with shilpa aunty and Tukasa's with his sister, though only slight)another thing, Domiyouji also has this amazing relationship with his friends, although he doesn't show, they are his strength😳 from a rich family but no love from any parent. Closes himself off from others from a fear of abandonment and cocooned in his loneliness. He keeps people at bay by violence and insolence. Bullying people at an 'upper class' college, forcing others to quit if they stare at him, or glance or even just upon a whim. bully side of tukasa, almost brutal, also this side resurfaces in an emotional tukuasa, i always recall the scene where Makino is sent away by Rui and she cries up on the bridge and alongside they show an emotionally turmoiled Domyouji beating up ppl and shouting my frustration in the pub (and the planetarium score plays in the BG, my fav song, i always wanted an MN VM on it😳) She is from a poor background, there upon scholarship, she is not timid, infact stands up to him whilst defending her only friend, only to be punishment by his severe bullying. However where many 'men' have quit, her Elizabeth, Nupur fighting spirit makes her retaliate and inadvertently makes him fall for her. She meanwhile falls for his friend. yes she stands up for her friends, for tat fact anything wrong, she had been enduring it for long it all came out tat day, so like nupur who can single handedly teach ppl a good lesson if they come near her dear ones, u have the whole J.D. track as an instance. falling for rui was natural, he was different from them 😆 he was good. 😆 (i LOVE rui!! but i usually like the bad ones 😆) i like the tough weed reference and meaning to her, she truly is one!
Why I love them? They again illuminate the DE effect, he humbles before love without losing his own self and she learns the meaning of true love based not upon expectations.😃
i love them for almost the same reasons, as they say love is all about accepting each other with the flaws 😊
If you are interested then I can pm you a site where you can download for free HQ subtitled version, not that I am implying that your Korean is below standard. 😛 I recommend the Korean version as it is more polished. Between my offline and online friends, I can not convince any to watch either 'boys over flowers' or MJHT so that I can finally have a conversation where I can discuss DE, MN and DS!
i have not tried the korean one though, am too stuck with the Jap one, although i do want to try it once 😳
Now to the pith of the matter. I guess I was being unfair for in truth you could not give proper judgement.
However sagacious Divya is correct out of Darcy and Mayank I prefer Mayank, as her wise self surmised because he is more real to me. True Darcy is the general template however Mayank is dealing, handling specifics. 😛More beloved for one rare trait; his haya. Darcy was tainted by it but Mayank is drenched in its light.
However out of the three, it is Daoming Si, whom I cherish. For truly if Darcy is the supernova from which sprung these stars, though Mayank's star burns brightest, Daoming Si's star has come the furthest. That is where my love lies. The journey travelled. For we may not all be stars, nor flowers but we can all fulfil our potential. For example, before he confesses to her, whilst she is unaware of the fact that the man who bullies her actually loves her, he asks her out on a date, but she doesn't hear as a plane passes overhead, so when later he tells her the time, date and place, she doesn't quite understand. She turns up later, only out of curiousity. A man who never had to pause for anything, had everything at his beck and call, who never waited for a season to change, waits for four hours in the pouring rain. When the object that kept him there appears instead of unleashing 'incredible hulk' he hugs her and asks, " 'Are you all right?' I was worried something had happened to you." I just love him
Or when he asks her why she doesn't like him, as he is quite a catch, rich and handsome. She shouts and doubts, pokes fun at his curly hair. A man whom every peer emulated begins to wake at dawn so that a hairdresser spends two hours straightening his hair. These are just the beginnings of the story, like MN's exam track or DE's Netherfield ball. There is more, far more wonders to behold, would you not like to become enchanted?
In regards the matter in hand, there is further still to expound. For in reality I have known of a Darcy and I am met a Mayank (before you ask Teju, he is Mayank in substance and not form, he is quite unlike Arjun. He is tall, blonde and blue eyed, but in character he is Mayank, if your heart can separate the two.) Out of all five, fiction and real, my heart belongs to, yearns to be with, pines at every heartache, for the 'real life Mayank that I met. An offline sister says that the day I meet the real life Daoming Si is the day that there will finally be a ring upon my finger, not that I care for such affectations. However all I can say today is that I love ________, that real life Mayank, with all my heart. I can not convince my heart to settle for any other.
in amongst all this, he doesn't lose his essence, i like it how he shouts at her, of being late exactly after that, another thing i like about him is he never forced him upon her, never! he respected her liking for rui. and mentioned it in tat disastrous double date when rui came back. also in a dinner, he says, rui will like u, after all u are my choice, the girl i approve of 😳 he always waited for her decision ! i really cannot chose btw mayank and Tukasa, both are very close to my heart, very dear to me, yes talking abt both, the did things they never did before, he took blows for makino, realized how it feel to be at the other end. he related her toughness to tat of his sister, the only woman who dmoyouji respected the most, he fell in love with the tough weed, had his share of heartbreaks but was the patient man! he believed in her!!! more than him. tats wat touched her too. and the most beautiful part, they met when they parted
i think i'll unreserve on the vid tomo, its too late, and i got carried away. once again thanks sabah, i saw the VM. its Mayank. and i cud draw a lot of parallels btw a heartbroken Tukasa and him
