Addicted to Hana Kimi





"Hanazakarino Kimitachie", or "Hana Kimi" for short, is adapted from a Japanese manga of the same name. Helmed by Ella of S.H.E, together with Wu Zun and Jiro from popular boyband Fahrenheit, this show garnered the highest ratings during its broadcast period in Taiwan.

What It Is About

The story is mainly about a girl, Lu Ruixi (the girl who looks like guy in the middle of the picture), who flew all the way from the USA to Taiwan, to enrol into the same school as her crush, Zuo Yi Quan (the guy in black on, a high jumper. The reason for her admiration is that one day on TV, after seeing his determination in high jump events, it also led to her determination to strive and lose weight. So her goal in returning to Taiwan was to watch him high jump live in action.

But the main problem is that Quan is enrolled in an all-boys school, thus Ruixi is forced to hide her female identity, and dress up as a boy. As luck would have it, Ruixi ended up being Quan's new roommate.

With such a perfect arrangement, Ruixi goes all out to befriend Quan, only to be rebuffed by him, and to her dismay, she discovered that he has given up high jumping.

Quan discovered Ruixi was a girl from the very first episode, when he
accidentally touched her chest, while trying to help her when she fainted. She was also unable to hide her female identity from the school doctor Mei Tian. He could sense she was a female as he is gay!

Both Quan and the school doctor decided to help Ruixi keep her secret, though Ruixi is unaware that Quan also knows her secret. Due to this, Quan also came to her aid on several occasions when Ruixi's identity was almost exposed. Through all this, Quan and Ruixi became closer friends, and it was also due to Ruixi's encouragement that Quan decided to return to high jumping.

There were also several funny moments involving Xiu Yi (the guy on the right wearing blue), one of Ruixi's best friends in school, when he thought he was becoming gay as he was attracted to Ruixi, whom he thought was a boy!


What i think about it:

Hanakimi is such a fun watch! i love it! there would never be a moment that you will not laugh while watching this.. it has such a nice and cute story.. and talks about youg love and attraction.. well here are some things about the main Characters in the Story...


Jiro Wang Dong Cheng

He is currently a member of the boy bandFahrenheit, and is widely known as the male lead in the Taiwanese idol drama KO One and it sequel The X-Family, as Ah Jin in It Started With a Kiss and its sequel, and Jin Xiu Yi in the live-action Taiwanese drama, Hana-Kimi









Ella Chen finished high school but did not attend university due to her love and passion for singing. On August 8, 2000, HIM International Music held a 'Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest' in search of new artists to sign under their label. When she travelled with her brother to Taipei for a holiday, Ella Chen discovered that her older sister registered her for a singing competition. Intimidated by the long line of contestants and worried of facing ridicule for her tomboy personality, Chen almost gave up before the first round. Her older sister, however, convinced her to stay. Chen's deep voice caught the label's attention, and helped propel her through to the final round. Her alto voice is noted for its strong and beautiful nature.[1]


Born Goh Kiat Chun (traditional Chinese: 吳吉尊; simplified Chinese: 吴吉尊; pinyin: wú jíjùn) in Brunei on October 10, 1979[1], Wu studied at the Chung Hwa Middle School in Bandar Seri Begawan. He later graduated from the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Wu also played basketball for Brunei's national team.[citation needed] Prior to joining Fahrenheit, he was a model for Yi Lin (伊林) in Taiwan and for Diva Models in Singapore. Wu speaks — with varying degrees of fluency — Hokkien, English, Malay, Mandarin, and Cantonese.[citation needed] He manages a family-owned gym club, Fitness Zone in Brunei.
