Notes

Based on manga series “Hana Yori Dango” by Yoko Kamio (published from 1992 to 2004 in Japanese shojo manga magazine Margaret).
The original Japanese title “Hana Yori Dango” or “”Boys Over Flowers” is a pun on the Japanese old saying “Dumplings over flowers,” referring to people who attend Hanami (flower festival), but instead of enjoying flowers, focus more on the materialistic side of the event such as getting food and buying souvenirs.
