Synopsis
Horikita plays the protagonist Ashiya Mizuki, a Japanese girl in the U.S. who one day sees the young athlete Sano Izumi (Oguri) compete in the high jump on television. Due to an accident inwhich she was involved, Sano loses his ability to jump. Unable to bear the guilt of causing his smile to fade, Mizuki decides to follow him to Japan and find a way to make him jump again. However, a certain problem pops up... Sano attends an all-boys private school, and the only way to get near him would be to enrole as a student there!

i like this drama mostly because of the comedy elements. i believe anybody who like manga-based comedy doramas eg.nodame cantabile, gokusen would like Hana Kimi as well. furthermore, the actors generally did a good job. apart from Horikita Maki & Oguri Shun who I believe already well-known for their acting skills, other actors also potrayed great talents eg Mizushima Hiro & Ikuta Toma.

I'd have to say this will probably be my favourite jdrama of 2007 XD Although its a high school drama and it follows a repetitive structure (the students had some mission almost every episode) the characters were so colourful and endearing that it was really hard not to get drawn into the drama! It's packed with HEAPS of laughs~ The soundtrack is great~ And I was thoroughly pleased with the ending X)

12. BEWARE! A super disappointing series [Rating: 6/10]
After months of waiting, I finally was able to finish this series. I will write this review in fairness to those who have read the manga first and have been disappointed by the series (just like me.. T_T) And this review might be a little longer because I want to justify and defend the manga.

1. Seriously, this drama sucks for the fact that although it was hilarious and funny, it didn't even reach half the goodness, cuteness and romance that is unselfishly provided by the manga.

2. Almost ALL of the characters are de-characterized, meaning that the actors/actresses didn't portray the original characters.
i.e.
Ashiya Mizuki - original character: sweet, determined, friendly
character in the series: dull

Sano Izumi - original character: introvert but soft-hearted character in the series: snob, unreasonable

Nakatsu Shuiichi - o.c.: baka but pure-hearted, selfless
character in the series: short-tempered and although selfless, it didn't even reach half of the goodness of Nakatsu that was in the manga

Minami Senpai - o.c: cool, manly
character in the series: sooo uncool!

well, anyway, you got the idea

3. And although the series did a good job of making Nakatsu really look 'baka', that was all what the series really can offer.

What suddens me most about this series is the fact that there almost aren't any romantic moments between Shun and Maki which is in contrast with the manga that is almost hearty and flowery. I especially hate the way they made Sano look heartless (grrr...) and all the characters look dumb.

Anyway, the bottom line is this is a totally disappointing, let-down series. I'm being totally graciousfor giving this a 6.

The first few episodes shoot like a super-charged train riding on a nice premise with a stream of good comedy and inspired scenes. But the story soon derails under the weight of endless fillers that go from repetitious to irritating with a mob of sexually disoriented loonies on steroids. The chemistry between the ever-brooding Oguri and the miscast Horikita never produces sparks.

17. Funny, Stupid and Highly Enjoyable [Rating: 8/10]
Being another random drama i chose for no apparent reason, this drama was fantastic! The characters are funny and relatable although sometimes you do go a bit over the top but all Japanese dramas do that though. Having being in boarding for 3 years it really brought back memories and the feeling of the relationships and 'rumour control' where spot on. Locations suited and lines were good, nothing legendary but what can you expect of something with the name 'Ikemen Paradise'...

Maki does a great job as the main character and has cemented my love for her as my fav female drama actor :D Shun does a good job and well, is himself really... i have only ever seen his play acts where his 'too cool' mainly because he does them well so yeah, he did well. Two actors that stood out for me where Toma and Yusuke, i've never seen them before but i thought they did really well in this drama and i want to watch more with either of them in it! Casting was great and i thought they all worked well together, like a real boarding school.

Highly recommended and should make most people who watch it laugh alot, don't expect anything deep or heavy though :D

21. I LOVE YOU NAKATSU!!! [Rating: 8/10]
I found this drama extremely entertaining and really fun all the way through. Although it’s rather ridiculous in more ways than one, it was still great.

The concept isn’t original and at times I was like “WHAT?!” when something bizarre would happen (I mean really, how can you NOT NOTICE THAT SHE’S A GIRL?!). But regardless of all this the drama was still grand and had a lot of priceless moments. Horikita Maki managed to remain kawaii even with the lack of makeup, and although I didn’t find the guys in the drama as good-looking as the reputation of their school suggests, they were still quite fun and entertaining to watch. My favourite by far was Nakatsu (Ikuta Toma). I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed this drama as much without him in it. Oguri Shun was grand in this role but he was often outshone by either Nakatsu, or some of the other male characters such as Nanba-senpai (Mizushima Hiro), Kayashima (Yamamoto Yusuke), Masao (Kyou Nobuo), Tennouji (Ishigaki Yuma), and even Hibari (Iwasa Mayuko), who was the female equivalent and was absolutely hilarious.

I really hope there is a second season. Although the storyline was average, the plot was great and there were a lot of grand moments throughout the drama.

though i admit not too good, compare to the taiwanese version.
maki horikita still look like a girl. when i watch the taiwanese vers, i completely forgot that ella-the main character's real name- is a girl. she's so into it. maybe the image that they bring before the series, infuenced it. ella is well known as a tomboy in real life, while maki's image is feminine. but the boys are hotter in japan vers.

31. Yawn worthy. Only saving grace is Ikuta Toma. [Rating: 4/10]
The good stuff:

The first half was stronger than the second half.
Ikuta Toma stood out from everyone. He portrayed his character very well.
The theme is very catchy. I quite liked it.

Why didn't I like it that much? I don't know what it is exactly. I think it's because of the actress. I didn't really care much for her at all. I thought she was too pretty as a boy. She didn't pass off as guy, unlike the actress in the Taiwanese version. When they discovered her sexuality, I was hoping they'd expel her.

If it wasn't for Nakatsu, I wouldn't have kept on watching this. He's the only reason why I forced myself to finish this drama. The script was average, but if the chemistry between the two leads had been there, I would have liked this more. Ashiya and Sano had ZERO chemistry.

Fun and watchable, but not a drama I'd put in my top ten. The plot thread involving Mizuki, Sano, and Nakatsu kept me watching, but I found the dorm competitions to be repetitive and unfunny. (I actually started flipping through them after hearing "Baby!" for the 10th time...) Aside from the three leads and Umeda (school nurse) I didn't feel any real attachment to the other characters at the end. I'd say it's worth watching for the leads and the interesting way it touches on ideas of love and gender.

warning:watch the jdorama first before reading the manga because you'd be very disappointed if you didn't. the way Sano was presented in the drama was really bad compared to the character in manga. Mizuki is also a bit disappointing. only Nakatsu stayed true to the character in the manga

13. Comments by Nermal [Rating: 9/10]
The dramas just finished airing a couple minutes ago but that`s the time I needed to gather my thoughts after this extremely moving 2H SP ending.

I started (and finished) reading this manga many years ago and was quite happy to see it would be adapted into a drama (especially with Oguri Shun and Ikuta Toma who have been somke of my favorites actors for years.. especially both in stage plays).

I was a bit dissapointed about the major changes of the story (why Mizuki went to Japan, how Sano finds out, how Nakatsu finds out and others, the lack of the sexual tension between Sano-Mizuki that is ever so present in the manga...) but in the overall balance, this still proved to be the one drama I was eagerly waiting for every week. The cast of actors were all interesting and it truly turned out to be a gem!

This is one that I will watch again and I highly recommend it. The ending had me crying too! ^^

HanaKimi was hilarious! It was crazy and silly and I enjoyed almost every minute of it! Sure, the premise was ridiculous. Yeah, it was kind of lame how they kept finding excuses to put the boys in women's clothing. But you just have to love it! Oguri Shun has come so far as an actor. He's really great. But I especially enjoyed Ikuta Toma as the zany, totally-not-gay Nakatsu! Horitaka Maki deserves praise because, by the end of the series, I was starting to wonder myself if she was really a boy. But, in the end, my favorite was Yamamoto Yusuke as Kayashima Taiki! He was adorable! I hope to see him in more dramas in the near future. Now all we need is a Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~Ikimen in California Paridise~ special!

This is one of the very few high school setting dramas that I've found really enjoyable to watch. The casting for the part of Horikita Maki for Ashiya Mizuki was perfect for this series - she pulled off the part of being a guy very well from the way she walked to the way she sat. It was hilarious, but very well done. I really liked the other two characters, too. Sano (Oguri Shun) and Nakatsu (Ikuta Toma) worked well, I especially liked Nakatsu's character. I felt that Oguri Shun was acting the same way as he always does in all the dramas I've seen him in, aloof and the object of a girl's affection. In other dramas this type of character works well, but I think the character of Sano in the manga was a little more open and laid back.

The storyline centers around Mizuki who wants to help Sano do the long jump again since she was the one who caused his injury to the leg. There are a lot of hilarious scenarios especially between Mizuki and Nakatsu who is fighting his feelings for Mizuki since he doesn't know she's a she.

Overall this drama was highly entertaining and I highly recommend it. The ending was pretty cute and I felt satisfied with it.

I was a bit disappointed cos it doesn't really follow the manga storyline like I wished it would since it was one of my fave manga. Plus, the "newly written" plot was crappy and annoying. Maki was cute here. But the one who steals the show were definitely Toma as Nakatsu and Yuusuke as Kayashima. So, thanks to both of them that I'm able to continue and sort of enjoy it till the end.

The cast was pretty talented, all in all, but maybe they could have chosen another girl who could have passed for a guy better... Don't get me wrong, the girl did great, but I think her face is too feminine to be believable mistaken as a guy's. Anyway, the series is funny and light-hearted, and they managed to alter the story a little bit so that Mizuki doesn't seem so much like a stalker. However, there were some moments when some of the wacky/silly scenes seem too forced and fake. The big selling point of the drama is of course, its wonderful casts, but you don't need my saying that. It was a very satisfactory drama with a so-so ending.

Half the time, i press forward to watch scenes between Mizuki and Nakatsu, the funniest to watch. The rest of the show is forgettable. My only grouse is : WHY MUST Kamikawa Takaya DRAW HIS EYEBROWS AND PUT ON MASCARA IN THIS SHOW JUST TO TELL EVERYONE HE IS GAY ???? He acted well, but I would prefer his wholesome image still.........

Great casting all around--Nakutsu and the doctor are especially wonderful!! The boys are always at their best in high school dramas (duh), and the music gets really catchy at key moments. Anyway, Horitaka Maki makes an adorable enough boy (although you'd think her voice ought to be WAY more well-disguised). This series gets an 8/10 because I really can't stand live action Dorm 3. >_< Plus, the drama makes the sexual tension seem even more contrived than in the manga. Still, it is fascinating to watch Maki and think, "Is there any way she could actually pass as a boy?" This is one series you shouldn't miss if you are any kind of a fan of gender-bender comedies.

in this Japan version of Hanakimi, the smaller characters outshine more than the lead characters. overall an interesting drama.

Feb 2008: Oguri Shun is hot. Horikita Maki is too girly to fool the audience. Watch this if you want to have a good laugh. Those pretty boys are definitely eye pleasing as well.

Amazing! Totally crazy....every episdoe is fully of joy and everytime I fell from my chair because it's funny as hell _-_
The whole cast is too likeable so you can't avoid loving them all *___* and even Toma got likeable to me finally. XD"
You really have to watch this if you love comedy doramas...*___*
It's a totally must seen!
And I don't have to mention that Oguri-san also made his job great, ne? XD Because he always does *chu* <3

Such a cute dorama. I didn't read the manga yet, but this live-action is one of the sweetest and funniest highschool-manga-doramas I've seen so far.
Plus: It's Shun's first Dorama lead! *yay*

Definitely my favorite for this season. Ikuta Toma stole the show! And I find Shun gorgeous as usual but a bit old for the role. His maturity shows in his face. Nonetheless, his chemistry with Horikita Maki is good.

This show is great! Not only the almost all Ikemen cast, LOL but also great acting from the young actors. I prefer this version over the Taiwan version re-make from the manga. And Toma's acting is really great!
73. Comments by ScrappedShinigami [Rating: 8/10]
Ok so there were some things I really loved about this dorama and there were other things that I wasn't so keen on.
I was happy with the overall arc of the story though I feel that due to it's tendency to veer off from the original story, it wasn't as smooth as it could have been.
Maki and Shun were really cute together as Sano and Ashiya but their chemistry had nothing on that of the characters in the manga. In fact I think that the chemistry seemed stronger between Nakatsu and Ashiya.
Saying that I was still happy with how it ended so I'm not going to complain ^___^

83. Comments by Inujun [Rating: 8/10]
I started out not liking this due to the dramatic changes from the manga but was surprised at how heart warming it eventually turned out to be. This series puts a lot of emphasis on the side characters which makes the whole schoolmate atmosphere a lot more touching. The 3 main characters, Mizuki, Sano and Nakatsu were great in their roles too, with Nakatsu overshadowing the others due to the funny performance put in by Ikuchi Toma. Even then some of the side-character plot is overused which does make this series suffer due to lack of main plot.
Otherwise it is a fun ride with a closure begging for an SP.
Soundtrack is catchy too and if you like the series, it is recommended

I read the manga and watched the Taiwanese version and I was very much attached to the relationship between Sano and Mizuki. That is why the Japanese version was quite a disappointment to me. The comedy between the dorms was very entertaining, but I just wish there was more romance. I mean as much as friendship is important, the story is kinda bout SANO&MIZUKI. Other than that, props to Toma (Nakatsu)!

Main story progresses a bit slowly without any suprises. I found all the extra action in the school boresome and annoying. Nothing funny like in nobuta. Would have been far better with just 5 episodes and more focus on just the two main characters and less fussing around.

Ok i have to admit I watched Hana Kimi because of Shun Oguri, he is one of my japanese dream boys, a real ikemen. And I heard a lot about Maki Horikita too. If Hana Kimi the taiwanese version made me laugh my ass off LMAO, Hana Kimi japanese version made me LOL and cry as well. It was ikemen paradise alright with all those hotties and whew I fell in love with Hiro Mizushima as Nanba-sempai. The story line was impeccable, trust these manga authors to come up with a superb implausible story that becomes reality. Now in real life can a girl masquerading as a boy really get away with it in an all boys high school? No way! I loved all the characters and how they developed. And the ending was superb , just the right touch of maudline to make me cry and smile again. Maki Horikita was the cutest boy in the series, Shun Oguri as Sano gave the role the right amount of freeze as the unemotional star jumper has-been, Toma Ikuta was cute and funny enough as Nakatsu ( but I have to admit at the risk of getting pelted by tomatoes that Jiro Wong was funnier in the same role but in a slap stick way)Nanba-sempai essayed by Hiro was the hottest chick boy in the Osaka High. Lol I love this guy, he looks like a sexy angel, if ever there is one. And Kyou Nobuo ( I can't believe he was Ren in Nana2, it was a complete make-over as a sexy rocker!)as dorm leader Oscar cracked me up, he was really funny and pretty as a woman although he looked older than the rest of the hotties. Wonder if there will be a Part 2?

SUPER NICE DRAMA!!!! THe feeling after watching this drama is like the feeling after watching gokusen!!! Btw,gokusen is one of my FAVOURITE DRAMAS!! XD. SUPER great cast. I'm so glad toma got chosen as Nakatsu and im so glad he's slowly coming up. I really want him to be better than yamapi(after yamapi left fourtops for newS and left toma alone and thus,cannot form a singing group..).. .In this drama,i love so many of the character.....toma(of course),Sekine and the leader of dorm 2. The story line is great,the school uniform is so pretty and made them look even hotter,their school looks awesome...looks like some mansion,the room design is also awesome with the double story room rather than a double dacker bed and ...even the colour of the drama is nice! You all should watch it! You won't regret it :)

Oh god this drama is sooo hilarious and one of the top must watch dramas in 2007. Although Horikita Maki looks NOTHING like a boy, it's still enjoyable to watch her sit with her legs apart when the boys cross their legs. Oguri Shun, as usual, potrays the quiet brooding hero flawlessly. My applause however, goes to Nobuo Kyou as Oscar "Don't call me Masao" Himejima, who never failed to crack me up whenever he makes an appearance. Luv u OSCAR!!!

Zoom and then poof (originally reviewed by shari, but he's hit the bullseye...but I don't think Horikita is a miscast, rather this is one of the few fitting roles for her. You actually see that Horikita performed the acting as a boy a bit forced and shameful, but this is adding credibility)
"The first few episodes shoot like a super-charged train riding on a nice premise with a stream of good comedy and inspired scenes. But the story soon derails under the weight of endless fillers that go from repetitious to irritating with a mob of sexually disoriented loonies on steroids. The chemistry between the ever-brooding Oguri and the miscast Horikita never produces sparks."

pretty good actually, the energy of the show is unbelievable.i wonder if japs really are like that. the guys who played nakatsu, tennouji, and masao really stood out for me. ending was off-pace, some parts were rushed, some too draggy... but this show has restored my faith in the 'newer' jdoramas, thank god. i was beggining to worry..

It was hilarious and I watched it at least two times so far. :) There were some parts where things just seemed over exaggerated or ridiculously obvious - but that's what you get for watching a comedy! Overall, though, it's a great look at Hana Kimi (I have watched the Taiwanese version multiple times as well) and a fresh twist. Right after I finished the series, I watched it again. :) I highly recommend it!

Other than seeing all the pretty boys interacting, the story's pretty disappointing. I don't root for Horita Maki's Mizuno and she's not very likable. It's hard to see why Natasku would like her. Sadly, Oguri's way too brooding and coming off as a spoiled brat more than an introvert =( It's been 2 months and I was only able to stomach watching 4 eps...but I must continue!! I need to see the ending. I hope at least the pretty boys will keep me enticed.

If there is a ratings more than 10, then i should give this drama more than 10. 20 maybe..this drama deserved more than 10~~
The first Jdorama I watch 3 times without bored or stress. Simply funny and hilarious! I love everything about this drama...the actors, actress, storyline (even some of it unbelievable), the song..everything! But Shun..he looks so ordinary here. I still prefer him in Summer Snow~~Maki is very good as Ashiya..but sometimes she is too kawaii to be a boy..hahaha :) ~~But there is something much more important~~90% strength of this drama come from Nakatsu Shuici. And Ikuta Toma did a very good job as Nakatsu. I think each scene of Toma makes me fresh and fun watching this drama. Such a new star born here in HanaKimi..I can't imagine if there is someone else act as Nakatsu. Toma and Nakatsu really have a chemistry and I love it!~~To the jdorama fanz out there, you must watch this drama!

Doesn't compare to the manga, but it has its own charm. Shun's hair was gross and he was awkward throughout the whole series. I was rooting more for Nakatsu. Loved the bishies and eye candy.

Hana Kimi is really the best! This drama made me want to watch other dramas as well. It's the best! Even though it didn't kept the real reason why Sano can't jump again, they made a valid reason for viewers to love! It's really the best drama I've ever seen! Plus, the fact that Oguri Shun, Horikita Maki and Ikuta Toma are in the drama is really amazing! Please, make a second season of Hana Kimi!

168. Comments by kyouki [Rating: 6/10]
i think nakatsu is the only reason that this drama is interesting.. acting from cast was not bad but there wasnt much to look forward to in terms of romance.. actually ill give 6.5

Utterly funny and a must have for everyone who loves to see characters who are absolutely nuts! XD I really loved how the story staid funny until the end and didn't switch into a total serious/sad state even though it wasn't only funny and had it's serious moments after all. I loved all these great characters and had my fun with the main characters as well as the side-characters. Really well done! ^_^ Don't miss it!

Loved it! It was my first drama and the best one I've seen so far.
173. Comments by yurifly [Rating: 7/10]
well i guess 7.5 because i love oguri shun even though he seriously doesn't do much in this drama...for some reasons, i feel that Nakatsu gets even more scenes than Sano...not that i'm complaining because i love Toma and i'm glad this drama opens a door for him. Horikita Maki is good, but somehow, she is not very believable as a guy...appearance wise. it must be hard for her to learn the guy's speech and i give her lots of credit for that. The drama itself is quite funny bordering slapstick and annoyingly over the top. At times i feel that the jokes are repetitive...esp the scenes between all the dorm students and their "rivalry". I don't see much of character development for any of the characters which is disappointing. Overall, I enjoyed it enough (who wouldn't? it's literally an ikemen paradise) but it's not the best drama out there

197. Comments by Daichi Kai [Rating: 8/10]
A little bit bright for something that very mainstream...
Still nice though, just that the ending is very disappointing, with everyone cried only to find that they'll meet her again in the school vacation...
Many interesting comical acts during the film played, and surely although can't be compared to Nodame, still close to it...
IF only the cast are bit repaired...
Selling only cute face, doesn't work in some cases...
I still like it though...

This Drama made me laugh so many times...but I thought the final episode dragged on a bit, and was kind of disappointed.
201. Comments by VCN [Rating: 10/10]
I never did watch the anime or read the manga for this, but I love this television series. It has a very strong cast of characters who all play their parts wonderfully. It is a very character-driven story, but in the best way. This is one of the funnier series I have watched and at times it nearly had me rolling on the floor. However, it has its series moments as well and those are also well done. A great series, all-around.

Definitely better than the Taiwanese Version!

and they deserved the award =)

I love the tandem of the 3 artists, Ikuta Toma, Horikita Maki and Shun Oguri.

I hope there's Part 2. XD

I hope they will make another JDorama having the 3 of them as the main characters.

Again Horikita Maki runs the show, and makes it worth watching it. I was growing tired of watching school-doramas, but this one was really funny - I have not regrets watching it.
220. Comments by crvn107 [Rating: 8/10]
I like this better than the Taiwanese version. The cast as a whole is funnier and Mizuki is less annoying.Brilliant choice of the cast and a worthy drama to watch indeed.

Another enjoyable light-hearted drama. This drama made me fall in love with Maki. I also loveee the setting of the drama... the campus is so beautiful and the tone of the drama is so cheerful!
222. Comments by Amano_Tsukiko [Rating: 7/10]
This is a silly drama. In a good way. Surprisingly, I don't care much about Oguri, whether Ashiya succeed in making him jump again or not. What interests me is the boarding school life (had spent 9 years in hostels myself, it brought back good memories). Ah... those were the days...
223. Comments by pochichan [Rating: ?/10]

I have seen the series, I had first doubted because of the new role of Hori Kita Maki (For me the New Japan Idol), but after 15 minutes of the 1 episode, I am relieved. She has mastered the role and with flying colours!

The series is unbelievable! so you must necessarily see the series!

If you only had time to watch one more drama, I'd have to say, make it this one. Hana-Kimi is laugh-out-loud funny, and Nakatsu (especially portrayed by the excessively talented Ikuta Toma) is a character you just have to meet! This drama may not be perfectly executed, and it's not exactly an accurate adaptation of the manga, but it's so funny that its flaws can be forgiven. How I long for more episodes!
229. Comments by snow_san [Rating: 4/10]
Touching and TOTEMO OKASHII!!! . Horikita Maki (Nobuta Wo Produce) wow! Complete change from Nobuta character (versatile actor). Good for her! Like her character. Oguri Shun (Hana Yori Dango) plays the cool lead she looks up to. Only first few ep. worth watching.
230. Comments by Jumpdiva [Rating: 10/10]
I GASM OVER THIS DRAMA. The cast.. Hiro..Oh dear gawd I love Hiro.....

Hana Kimi is about a girl who dresses as a boy to attend an all-boys high school, to get her idol to return to high jump. I was wishing there would be more of a love triangle, but I was satisfied enough with Oguri Shun (Sano) and Ikuta Toma (Nakatsu) having a mini battle of Horikita Miki (Mizuki). The ending was a little satisfying... I suppose... but all good things come to an end. *sigh*
