One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Kang Tae Joon (Min Ho).

I love this drama
August 28th, 2012 at 12:51 am
I’m surprised with the low rating!!!!!!!!
August 28th, 2012 at 2:18 am
this drama made me laugh! why is the rating low? is it pay per view? are idol dramas not effective anymore in raising the audience share?
August 28th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
onew’s song sounds like it should be sarang bi
August 28th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
LOL. sooooooooooo low ratings. i wonder if this drama is worth watching…
August 28th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
check what its rival show (bridal mask & Arang) and don’t be surprised with the ratings
August 28th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
I love this drama.. and the soundtrack is awesome!!!
August 28th, 2012 at 8:04 pm
I think this drama got low rating caused by the story who very easy, not complex like the other. but so far this is fun
August 29th, 2012 at 12:47 am
Please give me some information about special epsode ! I hear it’ll appear on 26/8 but i can’t find a raw !
August 29th, 2012 at 11:47 am
the actors are quite ok…
August 29th, 2012 at 10:31 pm
nice. but the story it’s too common -_________-
August 30th, 2012 at 2:32 am
…nice version of Hana Kimi.. compared to japanese and taiwanese version, this one is quite good and cute.. love it! keep it up!
August 30th, 2012 at 3:02 am
Korean version always great in choosing the casts,good looking,we can see it in hana yori dango,itazura nakiss,dr jin,and now hana kimi..,good fo our eyes
but still..the original one get its manga’s feel,comical ^^
seems this drama will be like kkotminam,popular but poor rating,but i like it ^^
August 30th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
i really like that they showed that tae joon knows that jae hee is a girl…it adds the sweet romance that tae joon is protecting jae hee secretly…
TTBY Fighting!
August 30th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
i love this drama! y are the ratings so low??? CHOI MINHO FIGHTING!!!!!!! plus the OST is sooo good!!!
August 30th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
oh n i also think that minho is doing a great job! its his 1st leading role and he’s really impressive. there have been many idol turned actors but he seems to be making a natural transition. sulli is of cos good…she’s showing her experience of being a child actor. n hyun woo is faultless. overall this is an UNDERRATED drama and i really really hope the ratings pick up so that it reflects the hard work the actors n team have put in. oooh n the way this drama is shot is so pretty, the clothes; the set; the school…its even worth watching just for that!! love this drama!!!!
August 30th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
the rating is getting lower and lower..but it isn’t stopping me from watching it..
August 30th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
i love this drama
) this drama full with romantic scenes i love it 
)
August 30th, 2012 at 6:58 pm
they need to make the story plot with more funny scenes rather than putting too much emphasis on the lead actor’s plans for the future.
the japanese drama version has managed to have a balance of the comedy scenes by the students and teachers in the school plus the serious demenour of the male lead actor.

I am loving this …i am loving this and i am loving this show more and more each week !
Regardless of knowing what is gonna happen since it has been already made ( japanese version ) this lovely ,sweet show is rocking my world .It is a little bit surprise coz I dislike this kind of dramas .. somehow i am liking this one ! I think it is becoz of the cast …they r all adorable specially Kang Tae Joon !! I just love his nose …seriously isnt it special ?

whats with the rating?
August 31st, 2012 at 12:44 am
Ignore the rating. This drama is competing with arang which is a more popular drama.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:11 am
even arrange and faith are popular their ratings are not that high eitheir. just 14 or so. complex storylines are boring and common storylines are fun rigth
