I am a huge fan of Hana Kimi (Hanazakarino Kimitachihe) the manga and then I found out that there was a Taiwanese drama based off the manga. I didn't see a thread on this series yet so I created one.

It has a total of 15 episodes and I just finished up 14. I plan to watch 15 when I get home. Its sooo good. I fell in love with Wu Zun who plays Quan the character based on Sano from the manga.

I was kind of iffy around a live action series based on this manga but it turned out really good. The acting took me a few episodes to get use to but I grew addicted in no time.

You can find all the episodes on Veoh if anyone is interested in watching this series. If you liked the manga I am sure you will enjoy this series.

My best friend is REALLLYYYYYY into this drama. I tried it out but ... well, I won't say I HATED it, that's a bit strong. But I didn't enjoy it. =/ Hana-Kimi was one of my first manga series I ever read, and it's still my favorite series today, years later, so ... I guess I have high expectations? I'm definitely looking forward to the Jdrama that will be coming out, though (although I'm disappointed with a few of the Japanese cast members. Meh. Impossible to please, I guess.)

yep, same here! I really enjoyed the manga and hoped that the drama would be just as good and the casting actors are especially important in order to give you the right 'feeling' like in the manga. I prefer Mika playing Mizuki than Ella. But Shun's personality and looks seemed slightly off as Sano and thought that the taiwan actor playing Sano seemed more suitable.

I liked the drama but, I can't believe how they ended it. Are they going to make season2? My cousin said they were but my friend said they weren't.

I hated the Taiwanese drama of Hana Kimi.
Not a huge fan of Taiwanese dramas in general.

I heard the Japanese version was much better.
Might watch it later.

the tw version it's more like the manga
i liked that thing and the main male character
was really hooooot but i didn't like the main female
i think she was ugly anyway i didn't finished the tw version
i dropped it but i do finished the jp version
it was cool because it was so funny and stupid
but it was nothing like the manga
and the end was like ... what? it's that really the end?

anyway i have to say that it was kind of cool to watch hana kimi
in live action cause i was so into the manga

the actress looks better in the japanese version. and jap version is more animeish.

i don't really like the actress in the tw version, and the pairing is so obvious here ('cause the guy is so damn handsome compared to the other guy) compared to the jap.

so i like the jap version.xD

i like them both..but if i was to pick 1 it would be Hana-kimi Japan..why??Maki Horikita [Ashiya Mizuki] is way more better [for me] than Ella [Rui Xi or Joey here].and of course the actors are cuter [^_^]. I like the taiwan version too because it's wackier than Japan but what the hell Wu Zun [Quan or Brian here] and Shun Ogur [Sano Izumi]i and Toma Ikuta [Shuichi Nakatsu] are way to handsome *faints*..and by the way..i love Maki Horikita!!she's so pretty!!i was so awestruck when i saw her cute face!!!that's all i guess..i was really carried away..lol

I loved this version because it was really close to the manga! :D The cast was great, too (: Although I still loved the Japanese version this one was really funny and enjoyable as well. Plus you just have to love Jiro :p The ending was the only disappointment in this drama but it was good (:
