that's yoo min kyu? hmm...

Hana Kimi is the Jdrama that made me fall in love with Oguri Shun (my love for him was cemented in Hana Yori Dango - I've never had SSL as bad before or since). Now I'm watching Rich Man, Poor Woman and I'm SO GLAD to have him back on my screen! Sorry, fangirl moment there...

I tried to watch the TW version, but couldn't make it through the first episode. That was a couple of years ago, though, before I knew who Jiro was, so I may give it another try when I don't have anything else to watch.

I also tried to watch the Japanese remake, but it was missing the magic. Probably because it was missing Shun, Ikuta Toma, Mizushima Hiro, and the dude who could see ghosts and auras.

Usually I can watch remakes without making comparisons, unless the remake is horrible (see: You're My Pet). It's gonna be hard to resist this time, cause the original J-cast made such an impression on me, but I definitely plan on watching it and I'm hoping they're able to pull it off.

Annoyingly its gonna be subbed super fast whilst am still waiting for Chaser ; ( am forever grateful to our dear subbers but...but...have u no taste (sorry dont kill me!!!)

well....compared this Sulli with SHINee Taemin, then i'll accept the femininity.
Seo Joonyoung as Namba sempai? owh, u got me all in now~!
since the previous adaptation got me jump off the drama wagon becoz of the leads(well, Maki looks tooooo much like a girl & Ella really make me annoyed, no offence) i dont care about the leads anymore.
what important is who play Namba sempai, Taiki(looks like there is none in this adaptation or he'll appear later) & Nakatsu(they got Hyun-woo so OK)

I still like the japanese version hana kimi.....

can't beat them !. SUPERB !!

Seo Joon-young!!!!! I loved him in Tree! He was so cute and excellent in that show. Such a good actor, and soo adorable. I've wanted to see him in something else so this makes me really happy! I actually just started watching Biscuit Teacher and he's got a small role in that so I got really excited lol, do I'm very glad that he's one of the main four in this.

I'm not sure about Minho, I don't really care for him, but he's athletic for sure so I see it I guess. I just hope he can act...

damn... I knew that would post twice. sry.

to make this comment relevant... who's that white chick? I'm jealous. I want to be in a kdrama!! f my life. lol

OMGd THERE'S NO DRAMA DORM?!?!?!!?!?!

I was so looking forward to the awkward hilariousness from the drama dorm leader :( it's just to bad that that guy ain't there :(

Sulli seems to look the girliest among the other girls who took up the role previously.

1) You're right, she DOESN'T look like a boy. At all.
2) Mushroom-bowl cuts ought to be banned.

I totally didn't recognize Lee Hyun-woo. What did you do to him? huhu..

But he'll do a great job.. I know..

I only found Moon Geun-young to be the only actress who was believable as a boy in Painter in the Wind.

*sigh* When will the Kdrama PTB realize that a bowl-cut does not actually make a girl look like a boy?

As for Lee Hyun-woo's hair-do... why on earth? Were they trying to make him look ridiculous so he wouldn't outshine the idol boy? C'mon, that didn't even work in his last drama.

On the upside, yay for Yoo Min-kyu! Would it be asking to much if Kim Min-suk could at least do a cameo? I miss that bromance.

What on earth happened to Lee Hyun-woo's hair... I hardly recognised him in that picture HAHA.

Also, Sulli goes as far as transferring schools and disguising herself as a boy to offer hope? Isn't that a bit extreme...

Okay she is the least believable of all of them, and I thought Maki was pushing it...

This needs to super good to watch the same story a third time around, and I'm not getting my hopes up after BOF...

And yes, where is the drama dorm leader????

NO ONE CAN BEAT MY IKUTA TOMA FOR THE ROLE OF NAKATSU SUICHI.....ANG SULLI??? HMMMNN...I DONT KNOW!!!

Nakatsu!!! He's the Lee Hyun-woo character. His actor in the 2007 Japanese one totally stole the show (and all the chemistry with the main actress). We'll see how this one does.

Still, not sure how I feel about this. I couldn't get through the Taiwanese one or the 2011 Japanese one; we'll see if this one strikes the right balance between zany goofs and pathos.

i totally agree w/ MEGARA; there is no boyish look in the main character. You can tell it's a girl.

I hope they live up to the Japanese version! It was the first j-drama I watched and I fell in love with all the characters, especially Nakatsu and the guy who could see ghosts... I miss them right now:( Well, I hope they do well!

tsk, tsk...

Some fans get so wound up defending their favorites. I have enjoyed watching all 3 of the different versions. Each one has its own charm. I had to laugh at what things were copied and was surprised by the differences and how they worked. Hey, Spiderman has been done to death but the new movie isn't half bad. It is great that a a little romantic manga story gets adapted so many times by so many countries. Thank you, Ms. Hisaya Nakajo for my favorite manga story.

Wow, I can't believe how much Sulli looks like a girl, all her facial structures just screams girliness. But it's a drama, so I'll roll with it, as always.

OMO.. auww wish Yoo min kyu could play.. senpai Minami..XD he was awesome my fav..
So he is the taekwondo leader hahah guy who played him in jap. version was awesome funny..
Looking forward for this hope it's funny as Japanese version.. Give us the korean Nagatsu love..

yoo min kyu will play tennouji the dorm 1 head? i think he'd be more perfect as nanba-senpai's character..keke..

I actually ended up watching the TW remake before the Japanese and fell in love with Wu Zun (the lead)....Ella did a great job, it helps she has a lot of andro features which made her character believable..

I'm not sure what to make of this..Sulli is way too pretty to make me believe she's a guy but then again...so is Minho LOL

I consider myself a Sulli fan. I think she's really adorable. I liked the jversion. I might watch this.

Looks like... a girl. The face, but the other dead giveaway is the smooth legs!

Nonetheless, the poster looks fun although I don't think we needed a Korean Hana Kimi remake. Too many Korean remakes just didn't work (Boys over Flowers and dare I mention You're My Pet?).

im surprised... sulli can pull off that look.. quite well :) the japanese actress i loved her, and for some reason, sulli is giving off a similar vibe.
im a huge fan of hana kimi, watched jap and taiwanese version many times.. i just REALLYYY hope that the korean version, they can really get into their characters. the actors in the japanese one especially played their roles so well (even the side characters) and were just so fun to watch.
i hope that in the korean drama, despite most of them being idols/pretty boys, they can really break into their character and become silly.

Well, at least I know Min-ho will do a superb job on the part where his character gets drunk and starts kissing everyone in sight (he did the same enactment in Salamander Guru... the cutest scene ever).

I wish I didn't have to wait long in the series to find this anticipating scene. Kkk~

Ella looks most like a boy, but she was the most terrible of actors -_-

Well...Sulli was a child actress. I'm going to hope for her being solid like T-ara's Eunjung was. She was also a child actress....fingers crossed. :/

When I saw the poster my first though was "I didn't that Taemin was in the drama". Sulli can exchange role with Taemin.

Ella looks most like a boy. It's gonna be hard to top my love for the taiwan version... At my high school, every class had at least one person with the DVD version of the taiwan drama. That's saying A LOT. Considering we were students from an average school and they cost more than a week's of pocket money at that time.

I'm not so sure about this. I read the manga and then watched the jdrama with Shun and FELL IN LOVE!!! So, I don't think i'm gonna stick around for this one, i might just read the recaps if u decide to do it^^

Just re-read a couple of Hana Kimi chapters - gosh, I completely forgot how funny it actually was! Mizuki was actually more outspoken then I remembered her to be. Also, I think Sano is supposed to be bit of a dork, eh?=) Either way, back to K-drama. Not a big fan of Sulli's cut, but willing to give this a try - why am I such a sucker for gender-bender/cross-dressing stories?

I loved the zaniness of the japanese version and i really hope they keep that. Nakatsu had me in stitches all the time

pfft one of my favorite scenes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcKW5_lIpUA&feature=related

Oh fuckfuckfcukfcukfcuk~!!! Here it comes~!!!

*So the track coach. No comments, yet
*Yoo Min-kyu - ah, leader of Dorm 1, then...Tennoji's claimed then...and wow, they retained the "affection for his hoobae", since in the orig. manga, Mizuki's first friend absolutely adores Tennoji from the start
*“genius high jumper”: as I've probably stated before, Minho's known in the K-Pop world for being an "Ace", meaning he never loses...Shawols and fans alike will have to see that coming...
*I have to admit, of all the Hana Kimi renditions, Sulli's Goo Jae-hee is the most closest I have ever seen of the manga's Ashiya Mizuki. Maybe...hands down to her, then...
*Finally, our Korean Nakatsu~!!! But wait, Cha Eun-gyeol...why does it resemble the name of Yunho's character Cha Bong-gun???
*Oh yay~, our Minami Nanba who's now downplayed to macho...but does that translate to playboy as well????

Major meh~ to Ella Chen, who's probably Amber's long lost twin, but Julia...is the actress portraying Julia a bit familiar???

Anyways, I haven't seen any major change in Sulli's hair, at least from music shows...

WHY~?! Why is our Nakatsu sporting a mushroom-bowl cut~?!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!

I'm hoping that the screenwriter covers all the plot-holes and inconsistencies. The manga didn't exactly... make sense.
Lots of suspended disbelief. I mean the girl goes all the way to Japan, dresses as a boy, goes to an all-boys school just because she saw the guy on TV.

This may sound weird, but I hope that they cover her breasts properly. In practically EVERY cross-dressing drama, they do a terrible job of covering it up. It bothers me so much, because its always so obvious that they have boobs. And out of all the cross-dressing drama actresses, Sulli probably has the largest cleavage.

i feel a little iffy about this drama...my guts tell me that it might end up like Playful Kiss, with super dry acting because of the rookie actors as leads

just curious, but who's the actress who plays Sulli's best friend from america?? She's the blond girl next to her when she cuts her hair.. I'm assuming they just picked a random foreigner?? I remember that her best friend from America played a pretty important role in the first few episodes and later (if the director/producer decides to add her in the show) so I'm thinking the girl probably has to speak korean right? :D

Lol this is gonna be soo funny to watch. Can't wait to see min ho's acting . Thought it was him in the poster ... Was like omo omo !!! Kyaa :). The female lead looks soo much like a girl in The boys uniform, its ridiculously funny :)
