Kelly Jan 28 2022 6:53 am I know this drama from my friend, then i decided to watch it. Bingoooo, i love it, the show was very good. Love the cast and the story, one of the best romantic comedy ever! Now, i still can't move on from it hahaha

Karin Jul 07 2020 7:17 am My first j dorama and the best comedy j dorama all the time!

Fierrie Dec 22 2019 3:24 pm This drama will be "Forever in my heart". I have watched this couple of years ago and it's like having experienced everything Mizuki has experienced. Every character is important and contributes to the drama. I love everyone but nothing beats Nakatsu. Rewatching this brings back a lot of memories. I love it! 11/10.

Sri atiw Jul 07 2019 7:33 pm Full of fun, every body look's free when act this drama's. Soo young energy.

haru May 19 2019 1:42 pm weird yet most hilarious japanese drama I had ever watch nothing can beat the comedy in this drama! everyone did really a good job for being funny! especially Nakatsu!!

Umi Mar 06 2019 10:45 am This is the best. Everytime there's remake nothing can beats the original. Love this

DZ Aug 26 2018 12:34 am I like this dorama very much. It was the first JDorama that I watched before my brother and still remembered it quite fondly. I like the wackiness of the cast and there are serious moments as well. I watched Hana Kimi 2007 and then read the manga. I have to be serious but I was very disturbed by Hana Kimi's manga version. Yes, there were funny moments but Mizuki's reason for going to the school was really poor which is no more than an obsessed stalker who wanted to just see her idol Sano Jump but have no idea about Sano's injury until she came to the school. Sano was okay with her stalking him. While yes, it is a manga. It is still disturbing regardless. But I like this version of Hana Kimi where she was the reason that he was injured. We can see that her motive was quite pure and she felt guilty about it, so the rest of the cast understand the reason. Overall, the cast is well cast and the direction of the show is strong as well. What I am glad about is that sometimes it is best not to draw inspiration from the original material as it can not only be disturbing but also would be bad storytelling.

Olivia Nov 07 2017 1:09 am ONE OF THE BEST JDORAMAS IN THE JDORAMA WORLD. You can't say you're a dorama otaku if you haven't watched this. And even if you're not an otaku, you should watch it. Sooooooo funny! Great cast! I love Shun, but I'm sorry to say that I love Toma more in this one - as Nakatsu. I think he is the one who brought what the fun and excitement througout. No dull episode.

Noir Sep 20 2017 7:20 am This is one of my fave shoujo manga of all time! I read it even before any adaptation. 13 years ago, I was wishing of anime adaptation!

Sadly, one of my fave manga character, Umeda Hokuto, was not portrayed as he should be. The gayness was cut down! Argh! How I wish Saitou Takumi (my gash! Oshitari Yuushi!) who portrayed Umeda in 2011 version was cast here instead! *not likely because they are still doing the tenimyu at that time*

But still, among the 4 versions, I prefer this the most. I may be biased to the Chinese and Korean versions because I favor J-dorama over any type of dramas. But the antics of Ikuta as Nakatsu and Hiro as Nanba added to the reason. (Though I also like Kiriyama Renn's Nanba.)

Toda Sep 06 2017 5:15 am The best drama ever !

FactsFirst Aug 20 2017 10:08 pm Okay, people keep saying that the first Japanese version is better than all the others because it was the original version but in reality the Taiwanese version aired first. So really the Taiwanese version was the original drama but really all of the drama technically stemmed from the manga anyway. So I don't know why people can't state with their own opinion, with accurate facts that are easily googled in 30 seconds, without invalidating other people's opinions. like, you could just say instead that the Taiwanese version will always be your personal favorite because you watched it before you watched the others so it will forever hold a special place in your heart. You could also say the same for the others. Or you could say that you preferred the way they did a particular scene in one version compared to another but you think that a certain actor fit better for a certain role in a different version. Or you like that one version had something that another didn't or you were disappointed that one version was missing a certain character or scene that you think added a certain amount of depth or an extra story line or much needed comedic relief in the perfect moments. You could say that you liked one version more because you thought it was funnier or because it was more serious and you like serious dramas. Or you could say that you liked a version better than another because one had a better balance of comedy and seriousness than the other. You could even say that you like a version the best because it was the truest to the manga, if that is something that you look for. Now after all of this, how hard can it be to voice your own preference without undermining the opinion of others?

Kk Aug 20 2017 1:51 pm This drama is the best all the time ????

ain_korea Jul 31 2017 10:31 am korean or Taiwan can't beat this Japanese version.. the best ❤

Angel May 11 2017 4:49 am The best version of Hana Kimi! ??? though there are versions from taiwan and korea this is irreplacable! Forever in my heart ❤

amazing Jan 28 2016 4:31 pm This drama definitely stole my heart loved it! Definitely better than the Korean version. Just like Boys Over Flowers, the Japanese version was so much better.

Menasenpai Sep 17 2015 3:00 am One of my favorite dramas it was the first thou.... and nakatsu kun you will always be in ma heart ♥

sumit May 16 2015 11:54 pm Hana kimi was my first drama and the characters are too good.Everyone is a star.Lead character Sano is the best.Now looking forward for new j dramas with good stories and characters.

Lasha Nov 04 2014 5:12 pm Hana Kimi was my first drama, and I loved it!! Maki-Chan is amazing, there are so many hot guys, so much comedy, and just a hint of romance. Can I girl ask for anything more? This drama is about a girl who dresses up as a boy to go to the exclusively for hot boys school that her idol, Sano, a high jumper attends. Sano had given up on high jumping, and Mizuki had made it her mission to see him jump again. Lots of comedy, really great drama!!! Gambathae nee!! Season 2 o kudasai!! ( I learned my Japanese from anime drama, so correct me if I'm wrong)

Bernice Lim Oct 03 2014 5:22 am HANA KIMI is a wonderful lovestory , but I could be very happy if you made the part on when OSAKA HIGH went to California .. I would really like to see that pls......... :)

JapanLovers Mar 18 2014 9:04 am Junpei from HighSchool Debut Ikuta Toma from Hanamizuki Shun Oguri from Crows Zero Yusuke Yamamoto from Ouran HighSchool Maki Horikita from Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac ^_^

AiRikux Mar 07 2014 7:10 pm For me this is the best ever drama!! If I were Ashiya I can't really pick >U< I just found out that there's a 2011 version but this is still the best in many ways! I love u Nakatsu-kun!

EunAmmirJi Mar 04 2014 6:30 am one of my favourite J-drama ever ^^

ZaraChoi Feb 05 2014 12:08 pm First Jdrama I've ever watched, as well as the most humorous! I love you Sekime and Nakatsu (/∇＼*)｡o○♡ Better than Korean and Chinese versions, and, in my opinion, slightly better than Taiwan version :> Great manga great drama =))

vvv Jan 23 2014 10:50 am The best of the best. Still trying to find comedy series that i would enjoy like this one. Sadly,none so far. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Brad Pitt Matsuda Apr 13 2013 6:42 pm Theres 4 Kamen Riders on this show.

Littera Apr 03 2013 11:25 am This series was the first Japanese drama I've ever seen. This sweet, a bit crazy story is just heartwarming. There is a good feeling, when i´ve watched it . It makes a for a certain time forget of the problems of everyday life. This time was very precious to me! Thank you for the beautiful hours! In these one has the feeling of being part of this story - love greetings from Germany

Sorry for my bad English ^.^

T.Awesome Dec 07 2012 6:05 am I love this drama. It's so sweet and silly and doesn't try to take itself seriously. None of the stuff they do could happen in real life, but that's okay, because you're content to just sit back and let the craziness unfold. However, it is also a drama that really touches your heart and makes you fall in love with all the characters. The first drama I've ever watched, and I love it so much I'm willing to watch all the other versions, even the remake. However, none will compare to this one ^^

lorie Nov 08 2012 11:25 pm most of the best actor in japan are here...

sassygirl989 Oct 29 2012 10:42 am deym this is the second drama (next to Gokusen) i've been hooked so much!!! Maki-chan is sooo pretty, and Toma-kun soo hilarious in here! all the casts are great, they did this drama so deym good. :)

sphinx Aug 03 2012 9:46 pm This is the best version ever and one of the best Japanese dramas.

kimmy Aug 01 2012 11:10 pm I've watched this more than ten times, no exaggeration at all. For those who isn't favor of illogical-totally-random-not-making-any-sense drama, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you just try give this drama a chance, you might find it entertaining. Although this was filmed back in 2007 but it is still one of my most favorite Japanese drama. Totally recommended. And Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu is amazing. he's hilarious ! My fave character in here. In my opinion, this is the best drama version for the manga ever.

keira Jul 29 2012 11:05 am Hana kimi is a total weird yet funny jdrama that i've ever watched. Even i agree that the drama plays so much anime alike which is make the drama lack of serious moment. but, ow come on baby,, despite all of it, hana kimi is a must jdrama to watch bcos it is totally hillarious and very unforgetable to watch. I guess there will be no remake that can beat the original one. I'm a fan of nanba minami senpai character,,he's funny and poor playboy. Hana kimi .... BABY ... !!! Full of laughs ...

Cynthialova Jul 26 2012 6:21 pm my favorite drama d(^^)b recomended

Jashom Jul 18 2012 5:30 pm Wait.....hmmmmm This kind a story... It's bringing up my memory of "He's Beautiful (korean Drama)

NinjaBride Apr 21 2012 3:04 pm This is one of the best J-Dramas ever, no joke. The cast was amazing and full of craziness. I was very disappointed in the main couple. The girl was constantly chasing after Sano and didn't pay attention to anything else. I understand why she was grateful to him but she was too focused on him and the romance wasn't well-developed at all. She clearly looked like a girl and she didn't portray her character well in comparison to the rest of the cast who nailed it. I'm not a fan of Maki's acting but I think do think she's beautiful and would be a great model imo. I was also disappointed in Sano if you check him out in Gokusen he's freaking awesome but I hated his character in Hana Kimi. Nakatsu was incredible I think Hana Kimi is a worth watching just to see the guys especially the dorm leaders lol. Tennoji's relationship with his girlfriend was very annoying but he himself was hilarious. If you're willing to ignore the bad details I totally recommend this drama.

driaandria Mar 16 2012 1:58 am Best comedy drama ever! re-watched it and still i laughed so hard :D

Clarisse Jan 10 2012 5:03 am the best drama I ever watched.. the cast are perfect.. :D they're all awesome/./

maria Nov 02 2011 6:51 am I really really liked this show. Both the actors/actresses and the story. I really do like every story where the girl disguise herself as a boy :D

jenny Oct 28 2011 10:46 pm ahhhh my first jdrama....absolutely awesome!!!! because this was so good i dont want to spoil my memories of hana kimi by watching the newer version

Kyouya Sep 10 2011 5:39 am This is the perfect version for Hana Kimi!

achel Aug 25 2011 2:52 am weird drama...but it's fun...maybe better if they make the story in anime more than use real people.... :-P

dia Aug 04 2011 3:50 pm I thought I would like this jdrama cuz of the hype but it was very overrated. It was so over the top, random and weird..all they did was have dorm competitions,etc & they tried to make it too much like an anime. the storyline was lacking and the end was abrupt. the two main leads lacked chemistry. I like oguri shun but he had better roles like in hyd & never was a fan of maki cuz her acting is very bland. @_@

Ryuichi-tsu Jul 03 2011 9:12 pm Nice drama. LOL comedies. Handsome characters. Whatta perfect film♥
