| | THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Boys Over Flowers: Hana Yori Dango |
 | | There's a saying in Japan, "Hana yori dango," that literally means, "dumplings before flowers", with the connotation that a girl would rather prefer practical things (like dumplings) over frivolities (like flowers). |
 | | In the title of this show, however, the "dango" is actually a reading for the kanji for "boy", so in effect, the series title translates as "Boys Over Flowers". |
 | | In all seriousness, Hana Yori Dango is a very solid series that deals with growing up, finding one's place in life, and not letting anything get you down no matter what. |
