This special, I believe, would not live to the expectation of the viewers of the drama. It is quite annoying to find that the story of this particular special focuses on a story that is supposed to happen somewhere in the middle of the original-run, which further ruins some plot details of the original story. Though it is a good thing that it gave conclusion to some of the "unfinished" details in the drama, including Nakatsu's Love for Ashiya. Seeing the whole Hana Kimi 'gang' on the screen, and seeing them act together, would surely put a smile on every viewers on this show. Somehow, it clearly manifests in their scenes that everyone is comfortable acting with everyone else, which further gives the drama an advantage. Though this particular special, tries to close any loose end of the drama, which I believe it successfully did, watching it for the second one would be quite a challenge - taking into account that a 2-hour special can never reach the hype the whole series attained. Nevertheless, this special would be like a "dessert" for all of the Hana Kimi Fans out there.
