Hanazakarino Kimitachihe (traditional Chinese: 花樣少年少女; simplified Chinese: 花样少年少女; pinyin: Huāyàng shàonián shàonǚ), also known as Hana-Kimi, is a Taiwanese drama produced by and first aired on CTS and GTV. The show was later re-broadcasted on Singapore's Channel U as well as Hong Kong's TVB network. It is being broadcasted in the Philippines through ABS-CBN which initially aired in March, 2008. Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu is the second Taiwanese drama to be based on Hisaya Nakajo's manga, Hana-Kimi. The drama features Wu Chun and Jiro Wang of Fahrenheit, and Ella Chen of S.H.E. The soundtrack was released on December 1, 2006.

Although the original manga's title means "For You In Full Blossom," the drama's title means "The Tricks of Boys and Girls," referring to student life within the drama. The official English name is actually an incorrect romanization of the original manga's title. When VIZ media translated the manga from Japanese to English, "Kimitachi e" became "Kimitachihe." Evidently, the latter name was used. The show was filmed at National Chi Nan University in Puli, Nantou County. The Chinese title is also the name used in the Chinese translation of the Hana-Kimi manga by Tong Li Publishing.

[edit] Characters

This drama has a full cast of characters, based on the Japanese manga. Major Characters appear in more than one story arc, and Minor Characters are those who serve a very limited purpose. Most characters in the series have names which are close approximations of the Chinese transliterations of the names found in the original manga.

ni cerita kocak banget. menggigit, dan bikin kita gereget dan seneng jadi cewek!
hoho,
menceritakan tentang cewek bernama Rui Si yang saking naksirnya ama cowok, (versi taiwan), dia ampe ngurusin badan dan menyamar jadi cowok disekolah cowok di taiwan. nah, disini nih, mulai deh sebuah kisah cinta yang lucu, kikuk, namun romantis.
dimana terkadang,
cinta tidak perlu benar-bener menunjukkan genre kita sebagai cewek atau cowok. itu terjadi begitu saja, seperti sebuah perasaan yang begitu manis.

cinta sejati itu seperti hantu,
kalau dibilang ada rasanya tidak mungkin, tapi dibilang tidak ada pun tentunya ada.

manis kan?

selama gw nonton kisah cinta cowok ama cewek,
kisah cinta ini-lah yang untuk pertama kalinya,
bikin gw bener-bener gereget.

tanpa rasa ingin memiliki,
atau menunjukkan ego masing-masing.

so,
must watch it soon!
