the bad points; so almost everybody who watches asian drama has seen one or the other version of hana kimi.. i have tries seeing them all..and with a very open mind..my favorite as im sure it is for most people is the 2007 japanese version.. i expected the remake to be an improvement or atleat more entertaining than the previous one (why else would the make one??) but it was EXTREMELY disappointing.. the characters are trying way too hard! u dont see them grow..most of the time ur left wondering if u missed something somewhere...the nakatsu is trying to copy Toma Ikuta to the last eyelash and is sad to watch.. mizuki was decent.. this one definitely look more like a boy than maki (im not sure if thats a good thing coz we know she is female anyway) and now to the BIGGEST disappointment of them all! IZUMI SANO shun oguri did a brilliant job portraying sano u could understand and sympathize with shun oguri"s sano..u could see him open up little by little..see him grow and u came to like the characters more and more as the time passed..namba and sekime too..but here u r left with a fluttery sano who u end up wondering if he really needed help on the first place the good points; it manages to be what hana kimi is supposed to be funny light and has its moments. it is not a comeplete copy of the original so thats good, so watch it if u are willing to with an open mind coz even through its not as good as the original its atill a good show..but pleases dont forget what i said about the open mind :D
