Hana-Kimi Episode 1 Reactions
I just finished watching the anime of this so i figured I'd finally give the 1st Japanese live action a watch. 1st ep ok but I did find myself constantly comparing it to the Taiwanese version that I liked even though the FL in the Taiwan verson got on my nerves really bad. The FL isn't so annoying yet but we will see. Overall I'm liking the cast so far and I love me a young Ogiri Shun so there's that and I love seeing a youngYamamoto Yusuke too.Really don't care for the girls school stuff...

Since I didn't know how to finish this month🤷♀️🤷♀️, I decided to go with this Japanese drama as some sort of dessert! It's short, the episodes aren't too long, and it has that old-school charm. I miss those vibes when I could forgive anything with the argument "It's old!"😁The first episode was exactly what I expected: cliché, cringy, and over-the-top. The interactions were exaggerated😂, and the acting was overly dramatic for comedic effect. But you know what? That won't stop me from watching the second episode😉!

I'm very pleased with the first episode of Hana Kimi. I haven't read the manga, but am quite familiar with gender-bender stories. Gender-bending is one of my favorite tropes, and Hana Kimi has handled it very tastefully thus far.
I've found that a common trait within Japanese (and sometimes other asian) dramas is overacting. This can add to the charm of a show, or completely destroy it. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing in this first episode and Horikita Maki isn't overdoing it. As a matter of fact, she seems to be one of the more level headed cross-dressing characters I've come across. I'm excited to see what the rest of the series brings!

Just finished watching the first episode and I LOVE it! It was way over the top, but in a way that didn't seem to get old. Jumped right on to the second episode and it hasn't seem to skip a beat for me.
The humor seems to be nothing new, but it's presented in a very bizarre and stylistic manner.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.... and hopefully MORE OSCAR!
