Okay, well, having watched the first Liar Game series and knowing that this was a "Reborn" sort of thing with a new cast, I didn't think I would ever watch this. Well, I ended up watching it anyway while I was on-board a plane. I have to say that the movie on its own is OK, but in comparison to the original series, it's quite a downer. I didn't feel the suspense, the movie was predictable, and Akiyama just wasn't as cool as he used to be(he was quite silly in fact). The movie does have some funny and interesting characters and the movie is watchable, but I know that I won't be watching it again. This was a one time, try it out kind of movie.

I just came on MDL and was looking lovingly at my own drama list, when I noticed HYD on my completed list. I had thought, oh what the heck I should check out the drama profile for good old times....when I suddenly notice, there are no reviews for this drama!!
Either it's been too long for anyone to remember what happened in this drama to write a review or people think this drama is way too good to need a review (which isn't a bad argument).
Anyway, here I am to write a review with all I can remember!
First point to make: Personally, I suggest you watch this drama no matter what I have to say.
This is the ultimate drama in my opinion. Why?
Well, this was my very first asian drama, ever. I was introduced to the asian drama world by friends. Back when I watched it in 2005, I was enchanted. This drama has a special place in my heart. This drama, in my opinion, is a classic. You will fall in love with it.
Now some deeper explanation for my scoring:
Story: This drama is based on the manga. I watched the drama and tried to read the manga, but it didn't work out. I couldn't get past the artwork and the fact that I already knew everything >__>; However, great story and wonderful script writing. There are moments you will get mad, want to cry, and blush and say "awww".
Acting/Cast: Wonderful. People argue that the cast from the Korean version Boys Before Flowers are more beautiful, and I slightly agree so I deducted .5. However, this cast will always and forever be the "original" cast for me. I am also looking back and thinking that the acting wasn't super, so I deducted .5.
However, there is so much to why acting/cast gets a 9 rather than a 1. This cast KNOWS how to reel you in. You WILL feel for them! Inoue Mao gives a wonderful intro in the beginning about her life at Eitoku. You'll know exactly what's going on. Everyone's situation will be well shown, and a big round of applause goes to the cast for that. I must also say that I fell for the guys who play the F4 because they're very good looking ;] Matsuda Shota!
Music: This drama got me into J-Pop. At that point I had only been into anime music because I used to only watch anime. With Arashi's WISH opening and Otsuka Ai's Planetarium song, I fell in love with J-Pop. Wonderful songs.
Rewatch value: Although I haven't rewatched HYD, I must say that it wouldn't be a bad idea to. I honestly believe this drama isn't easy to become bored of.
Overall: Like I said, this is the ultimate, classic asian Japanese drama. There is no other score than a 10/10.
If you still haven't been convinced to watch this drama, please talk to the many other dramawatchers out there who I am sure will claim that HYD is one of the best out there and even if not the best, will always and forever be a classic to all of us.

I just finished watching the movie...I'm a bit grossed out by the end. If you don't like gory horror movies, please skip the last five minutes of the movie. It's so real looking and disgusting. I almost thought that the actor acting as the actor in the movie was doing this in real life in the movie while no one was looking. Anyway...

I believe this is an independent film, so it's different. There are multiple people, multiple stories.
If you like film or are interested in making films, you may like this movie.

Overall the movie is okay, but personally, I would skip the last part.
Very melancholic.
