Although the storyline is little bit different with the Japanese version, Hana Kimi, it is still great! The story and the characters are too cute to be ignored, highly recommended!

Highly recommended drama,nice

Wow. Kim Woo Bin is so tall and handsome, his skin is also so smooth. The fake boy, what are you doing in that all boys school when you have such gorgeous oppa by you. pack you bag and go home.
I first saw KWB in the White Christmas, but I didn’t have the same impression as I’m having now. He’s really grown into a beautiful young man. He made other kids around him fade away. Hope to see him more.

awww i love this drama and all the character choi min ho OMG ur hot and lee hyun woo adorable! i really like this kdrama its really interesting!
i jus hate waiting each week!
September 18th, 2012 at 5:09 pm
wow, just finished watched ep 10 and it’s going more interesting since ha na has realized jae hee is a girl that has captured tae joon’s heart..and then she plan (force?) to ask tae joon as her lover so that she will keep her mouth shut up.
but i think tae joon won’t let it happen.he won’t lie to his heart and it means he will find the way for keeping jae hee’s secret instead dating ha na..

Dear admin,
may i ask you a question? This website is really great and wonderful and you are trying hard to make it work. I really thank you for your hard work. As you see, lots of people come here to read the comments and even lots of them decide to watch dramas based on comments here. That’s how popular your website is. So, is it possible for you to improve the comment section a bit? For example adding the like, dislike, reply and edit button. I don’t know anything about managing a website, so I’m sorry if i’m asking too much.
(@Sara from admin: Please send us an e-mail if you want to request/suggest something which is unrelated with this drama. Thanks.)

At first sight, I thought this korean version of hana kimi will not fare well. But after watching it to the latest episode, i can say that all of them done well. These actors and actresses are bunch of good professionals.
In addition, i love one of their soundtracks sung by J-min: Stand Up. Nice rock music done by this lady. Worth it to keep it in your mp3 player!
All the best!
