Hanakimi Korean version. ^-^

The visuals are amazing! Full of vivid colors and awesome 360 camera shots. LOVE IT!

Storywise: Since I am a big fan of the manga, I love that they followed the big plot lines and even got creative in mashing two characters into one. My only complaint is that:

1.They did not retain the colorful characters. It would have made the school more fun and vibrant.

2. It would have been better if they have followed how Sano from manga discovered He was a SHE. That way I am not confused and wondering why would a guy care about the main lead girl knowing its a guy while I am watching. I keep thinking in my head, ohh i think he knows, but maybe not, then why does he take notice of everything Jae Hee does. specially with the creepy dude!

But all in all I am still happy, specially with the ending! thumbs up to that!

Character:
Minho
In my opinion out of all the Sano's portrayal, Minho's portrayal is the best. He's more athletic, he's excellen in acting Sano's different sides: angsty, raging hormones, protective, competitive. He shows promise and just needs a little more progress in the fiery passion in expressing "love" emotions.

Sulli: She's too tall for my liking that sometimes when shes with the guys she really blends in. :) However her acting is really good except for the shock expressions from confessions. Maki is still good for me.

Hyun Woo: This guy is the reason why I'm watching the show. He is just amazing on his portrayal with his character. He makes me laugh when he's cute, makes me laugh even harder with his crazy antics and his crazy imaginations.

OVERALL:
This drama is still a good watch despite of its flaws. If you are looking for a high school drama and in favor of goofiness and cuteness, then try watching this drama.

Light and Lovely!

Story:
If you had read some of the reviews here, you probably have read some gripes about the storyline. However I chose and went ahead and binge watch this with a different perspective. Perhaps the writer would like to showcase the FL journey to be independent and discover her strengths and confidence and eventually finding love.

I love that this story does not have an annoying love triangle, does not have villainy parents. But instead highlights relationships, friendships and how we as humans come out from having all of these experiences.

Acting:
I love the chemistry between this two, much more than the team-up he has with his new series. For some reason their chemistry, sweetness and interactions feels very natural. The sweetness is not cringey and not over the top. Its just right and just the way I like it. :) Supporting characters are awesome and how their friendship had bloomed! ( I cannot forget Hiu Yi's reaction of the K**s, fist on his forehead and cringing!)

This is so fun to watch and I have repeatedly watched just for another does of happy eye candy!
