Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (花ざかりの君たちへ), otherwise known as Hana Kimi, is the Japanese version. Even though it's based on a manga, the Taiwanese got to it first. The essential basics are the same (a girl poses as a guy in an all-boy school in order to get closer to the guy and people start wondering if they're gay or not) but the little details are mostly different. For example, the school in the Japanese version are for good-looking boys (and girls, in the sister school) and it's a high school. It stars Horikita Maki, Oguri Shun, and Ikuta Toma. Trust me: there's a lot of eye-candy in this drama. :D Of course, many things are the type of obvious comedic type thing that tends to occur in Asian dramas, but it still wrings a laugh or two from you. I'm one of those people who can't seem to pick a favorite between this version or the Taiwan version, mostly because even though they're based on the same manga, many things are different so it's like a bit of fresh air of sorts.
It's twelve episodes long and as far as I know, a sequel might be coming up - IT HAD BETTER BE!!! I actually downloaded this from the fansubs site as it came out, because this is the only drama I ever watched while it was still showing so I had to go through the hard time of waiting a week before it came out. -_- It was worth it though. :)
