I think SME forgot about making Korean Hana Kimi.

If you already don't SM Entertainment (SME) is one of the "big 3" Korean agencies that produce and create some of Korea's best idols (SNSD, SHINee, Super Junior, F(x), TVXQ ,BoA). On March 10th they reported to be making the Korean version of Hana Kimi. Representives of the company said, â??The Korean version will have a total of 16 episodes that draw out stories of hopes and dreams. Itâ??s a teenage comedy with a cute, but strong storyline and a slew of handsome cast members. Weâ??re planning to begin airing it this summer.â? (source: http://www.allkpop.com/2011/03/sm-entertainment-to-produce-korean-drama-adaptation-of-japans-hana-kimi)

Well it's been practically 3 months and SME has yet to report on who will the cast be and it's about half way through summer. So that's why I think SME may have forgotten about Hana Kimi.

Yeah I also think they forgot it....... I'm disappointed if they don't make it :O

Maybe it will be in the next season...? Hopefully..

I'm curious about what's going to happen too. The Japanese remake is already out. I hope they make something, but people buy the IP rights and don't use them all the time, so they may have never even entered production. Maybe they're doing significant rewrites or having issue with casting. Regardless, I hope it comes out :)

True, SM idols work hard :/
but I was looking forward to the Korean Hana Kimi, oh well...
