I think I'll be bit biased considering I already read the manga, and I love gender benders, but here we are. This is the first version I watched of the Hana Kimi drama adaptations, so I was constantly comparing it to the manga while watching it, but all in all, I liked it. Alright, the story is nothing new, considering what it is, but the writers seemed to really take away quite a few things. There wasn't much interaction between dorms, and it felt like it lacked more sports involvement. The romance was typical, but during the drama I was somewhat annoyed with Jae Hee. She was almost TOO obsessed with Tae Joon, to the point that not only it was painful for me to watch Eun Gyeol, but where it almost seemed a little too odd that nobody caught on to how weird it was. I tend to end up loving the supporting characters more than the mains, and this was no exception. I was supporting Eun Gyeol a lot, and watching as she flat out ignored him was pretty terrible. I had hoped there would be more tension with him, and he got more of a chance, but she seemed far too focused on Tae Joon. The characters were fun (though I'm disappointed to find that Kayashima doesn't exist), and most of the actors did a good job. At some points the two leads seemed stiff, but I just kinda brushed it off. Yong Min made me laugh; I loved Seong Ri; and somehow Han Na was more likable near the end, but really really annoying in the entire first half. Something I didn't like was that I could not keep the characters straight. Some of their names were mentioned, and their faces would be there, but it would be a while before they reappeared, or their names would later be brought up again and I would be lost. Or maybe I just should pay more attention. I was kind of disappointed that the doctor--Min Woo, was it?--didn't get as big of a role as in the manga, but eh. The music was good, and I liked it. It was pretty fitting as well. I personally would rewatch it, because it was just fun (aside from the painful Eun Gyeol parts when he's ignored). Then again, I'll be watching the the versions as well, so... My suggestion: read the manga.
