This is the Japanese version of the comic series of the same title broadcasted last year. It features Horikita Maki as Ashiya Mizuki, Oguri Shun as Sano Izumi and Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu Shuichi. This even won the best drama in the 54th Television Drama Academy Awards.
Well, Maki did a great job in portraying Ashiya. I just wished that her hair was styled so she would really look much more of a boy.
Shun as Sano reminds me of his role in “Hanayori Dango” as Hanazawa Rui who is also aloof and a man of few words. I guess he gave justice to the character but his romantic side was not again emphasized.
Toma as Nakatsu was so hilarious. His style of comedy is actually better off than Jiro Wang who was his Taiwanese counterpart and he’s even more handsome.
I never expected that I will enjoy this one. I always thought that T-dramas are much better than Japanese. I do enjoy the scenes where dozens of students coming-up with wacky ideas and doing random and ridiculous things in the background. The three dorm leaders also had a big involvement in the story which added more entertainment. Basically, how the story was presented seemed more logical and the characters are like fresh from the manga.
To those who prefer the love angle, better watch the Taiwanese version but if you want fun-filled entertainment, Hana Kimi-Jap is the best!
