Thanks, JB! This was HI-larious! I'm not really planning on watching this one, but your summation of the plot with the screenshots was perfect.

Lee Hyun-woo's hair might be just as bad as Lee Si Young's hair in Wild Romance which kept me from enjoying or really watching more than 1 episode of that show. Also Sulli doesn't look anything like a boy, which doesn't surprise me as the only girl posing as boy story actress ever in the whole world was Yoon Eun Hee in Coffee Prince

Is it just me or for some weird reason, that Min Ho looks like Yoo Chun?

Watching this for Lee Hyunwoo and only for Lee Hyunwoo. :P

I am quite dissappointed to find that lee hyun woo is not the main actor here but i love nakatsu in hana kimi more than sano anyway so i ll think i ll love lee hyun woo's character all the same. Cant wait to see he 's in dilemma thinking he is gay lol

The PD of BBF being involved actually makes me kind of hopeful. I mean Hana Kimi is a SILLY freakin' show, unlike Hana Yori Dango which, although somewhat silly, I was able to take really seriously. Therefore it was ruined by the Korean director who did not seem to get or appreciate the beauty and drama of the original, and just made it, well, SILLY. Since Hana Kimi is already quite ridiculous, they can't ruin it, right? Okay, they can still ruin it in other ways, but I'm not as hopeless about this remake as I expected it to be.

My biggest worry is whether or not there will be an Oscar equivalent, and if he will be even half as funny as the original! After Nakatsu I think Oscar was my favorite character lol.

This looks so cute and fun, I'm probably gonna watch it. But suits with sneakers? Ew.

I am looking forward to this drama, cliches and idols be damned! Besides, I'm getting drama withdrawal coz of all the Olympics stuff.

mdr, GO JAVABEANS! summing the drama in one commentary! i'm 100% sure the drama will go as like you said but i'm a sucker for flowerboys so i'll still be watching this drama.

Sulli looks so adorable! I cannot wait for this series! When I first heard about the series I thought it might be worth watching, but it wasn't until I started seeing production stills that I realized "hey, I need to watch this!" I was pretty displeased with the last drama I finished, so here's top hoping this one will be a winner!

Have people read the actual manga before they comment on this? I hate it when people start judging the drama based on the other two adaptations not on the original manga itself!!!

Personally I think that no adaptations have lived up to the awesomeness of the manga. I think we should wait and see the first episode before we criticize, shall we? I hate it when people have this prejudice against idols turned actor... but when its actor turned singer everyone praise "he sings well for an actor"!

Is there a gay doctor in this? or is it gay coach? AND I am already cringing at the kiss scenes that are to come...

can someone please tell me who going to play Hiro Mizushima character in this Korean version?

"Oh phew, Seo Joon-young is 25. Ogling sanctioned. As you were."

Hahahahahahahah... thanks for making me LOL.

not looking forward to the obvious bear vs fox fight coming most likely around episode 9 or so. i would love to have a korean drama that doesn't have women fighting over a guy.

also, i liked that even in the japanese version, the st blossoms girls weren't malicious or cut throat. even in teh japanese version when one of the girls has an opportunity to act that way, she opts not to (not wanting to type a spoiler here but if you've seen the japanese version, you know what item one of the hibari 4 finds that belongs to ashiya)

i'll watch this shit show and laugh along with the recaps like the rest of ya.

I choked laughing while reading this.

Haha this was hilarious.
It's probably not going to be on my list for top dramas of the year but I'll give it a go and see if it'll at least keep me mildly entertained. I'm really wary of idol actors. Most of them are just not meant to be placed as main characters of a drama, especially not as the main leads (there's like a tiny exception here) but hopefully it'll improve if it's bad at first.

HAHAHAHA. The end.

Lol. Love the commentary and the amount of cynism.

Hey I wonder they have HIBARI 4 in here also.hahah they where funny and Oscar!

In the manga it's not just plain girl-on-high-stalker-mode, she has a real reason to go to the school to help him, she feels responsible for his injury, are they going to change that here so the girl is just a sasaeng fan???

Wow...her legs look so pale in those last few pictures. Especially surrounded by all the guys. Heh.

hm..... sounds like my high school experience.

This commentary is flawless.

Okay... it'll be the last I'll rant about Lee Hyun Woo's hair (for a while hehe).

His Equator Man hair from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwm_MnmeafE is quite perfect for Nakatsu. Considering that the other two of the main trio had to make significant changes to their regular hairstyle to match their manga counterparts, the frizzy brown Sunwoo hair from EM fits the bill of Nakatsu's messy light-colored hair, and the frizziness could be a good foil to Minho's straight hair.

I half understand why the bowl cut, though, it enhances his image as a bumbling foil to Minho. It suits Nakatsu's personality as someone who's outrageous and monkeylike, but on a less attractive actor it wouldn't have fit another aspect of Nakatsu, which is that he's popular with the girls for his looks - he's the genius soccer player, friendly and charismatic.

Ok laugh if you must - but give those guys a chance! And i so far over 15 will not say. The one who dies was the mother! so it is all in the past (think) and it seems very sad scene with Minho showing a lot of passion. I ask you what is so bad about loving your mother!
This sounds like a fresh new version and from what i have seen and read looks to be good with a more modern feel and more up to date scenes. it could be very big break for some so i want to give chance!
Yes i have watched all the other Hana Kimi's too and read the manga but will not be so quick to compare. This also seems to have more of a storie compared to other versions so im looking for something new even though on outside it may look the same to some.
Knew JB would not like it- they seem to like darker shows- but i decided to read anyhow because i at least though they be fair - i was disappointed- they made judgment without seeing. I will see it before i judge but i know young adult shows not get the ratings because adults control tvs more in Korea then here.
I am not SHINee fan but willing to give him my support

the hate and ridicule won't stop this one becoming nice and big in skorea
the efforts are nice to watch though, so much jelly and irrational bandwagon mentality

To bad you not seeing before you decide! And just for the books - i way over 15 - the funeral was his mothers and guess you not hear the part where Minho was praised for his acting. Is no one allowed to feel sad at mothers funeral? Looks to be very touching scene. What , you can not have a story? I think this one will be more balanced emotion wise and not just for laughts. Sulli was triped in restroom and accidently grabbed guys pants. So instead of trying to be funny - please get story straight and not judge before it aired. I for one want to give those guys chance.

I don't know if this has been brought up before but I'm curious about something. I'm a big fan of the manga and the j-drama so I'm a bit confused by the plot summary we have read for the k-drama where the Mizuki/Jae Hee character is basically a sasaeng fan of Sano/Tae Joon, and goes to his school to stalk him into recovery instead of the Mizuki who feels responsible for his inability to jump. So, are they hidding the fact to use it as a plot twist later on or they have changed the character motivations?

Haha I feel like I have just finish watching this drama! Feel 100% satisfy and glad that I have one less drama to worry about!

But Sulli was an actress before she became an idol. A lot people don't realize that. I have watched the 9-min teaser and she is rocking her role
Can't say the same about MinHo though...
But I'm rooting for her and the 2nd guy already lol

i just hope Kim Ji Won wont be wasted here . I like her in what's up.

but i dont really have any hope in this drama -- just her and ------ that topless guy.. he must be the real treat ^_'

omg this means that i have to pick between liking Minho or Lee Hyun Woo better????? OMG this is heart-wrenching... >.<

I like Choi minho from this drama. He is very handsome.

I don't understand why TTBY has a low rating in korea. I mean here in Philippines, its a BOMB! It is the best korean drama i've watched so far. I love the plot of the story.. the characters.. the OSTs.. EVERYTHING! I cried niagra falls and laughed and fangirled as if there's no tomorrow. I got really attached to the characters and i just couldn't get enough of them. But i am really unsatisfied with the ending. TO THE BEAUTIFUL YOU SEASON 2 PLEASE :D
