Hana Kimi is both one of the most ridiculous and heartfelt dramas I've ever watched. The show begins with the statement: This drama is fictional. Please pardon the foolishness. This is the only thing you need to keep in mind while watching Hana Kimi. This isn't a show to analyze and critique because it's unrealistic. That's not the point. This show completely full of ridiculousness and fun. I loved it. I haven't watched countless J-dramas, but I have watched several. So far Hana Kimi is definitely one of my favorites. The story isn't anything totally new, though it is a refreshing take on the gender-bender cliche. Gender bending is one of my favorite tropes and it was used to it's full potential in Hana Kimi. While the plot was fairly basic, I did like the use of both small and overall story arcs. It kept the show entertaining and crazy. I thought the acting in Hana Kimi was brilliant. Just like the show, there was nothing serious about it and I felt as if every single cast member poured their heart into this show. Everything was genuine and sincere. It gave the show a wonderful vibe and made me very happy. There wasn't a single character in Hana Kimi that I disliked. I think this is the first time where I've loved every single character in a drama. As for music, it was simple, and silly at times, but I love the opening theme IKEMEN Boogie, as well as the softer piano version IKEMEN Boogie Nights. I feel as if they embody the whole atmosphere of the show. Hana Kimi is definitely a show that I'd like to rewatch in the future. It's so absurd and funny that I think it will always be entertaining now matter how much I watch it. Overall I loved Hana Kimi and I felt a range of emotions while watching it. I was surprised while watching the last episode when I found myself shedding a few tears. Hana Kimi was so ridiculous that I never would have expected to cry over it. But I realized that I had grown so attached to each and every character that I couldn't help but cry during a certain scene in the last episode. Hana Kimi is one of those shows that feels timeless. I would recommend Hana Kimi to anyone in need of a laugh. It's definitely something that will brighten up any dreary day. Here's my video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc1kN5TJ3SY
