*Might contain spoilers*I want to be honest cause I really enjoyed this drama just as I enjoyed the japanese version and the manga. You will probably enjoy it even if you know the japanese version or the manga but I think you'll enjoy it more if ye didn't know. Like some other reviewers will say a lot of important things are left out that makes Hana Kimi so much fun. On the other hand I understand why the korean version wanted to make things a little different.
But because of that only the relationship between Kang Tae, Goo Jae and Cha Eun filled the entire series which I thought was just not as exciting as it could have been. Because now they are the only main subject in the story leaving no other relationship to sidetrack you in a different story development (the story with his dad felt very weak to me). And I really really missed the Doctor being extravagant and being bothered by his ex and I also feel they didn't properly portrait Song Jong and they did not even properly wrapped that up at the end of the series. I mean if there's one person that'd be bothered by the whole revelation it has to be him making a scene right?
Anyway a good watch don't be alarmed by my ratings cause it is fun.
And I really like Cha Eun especially when he went to his parents I wish we could see more of his home situation cause his parents reacted funny hehe. Oh Min hyun's character background was also left unexplored pity even his story was not properly wrapped up >_

I love Lee Gun. His retarded laugh might annoy some people but it made me laugh and it also gives his character an original charm. I'm also not bothered by it cause he seems to laugh so awkwardly most of the times when he is hiding his true feelings. Jang Hyuk voice or way of talking reminded me of Yu Oh-Seong in 'Faith' which is not a bad thing cause I like his voice. Thankfully Jang Hyuk is much cuter to look at lol. I found the story and subject heart warming.
Besides 'Fated to Love you' I've never seen another movie or drama with Jang Na-Ra and I must say she played Kim Mi-Young very well I'd like to believe she is just as sweet and charming as the character she was playing. A character like her can become annoying fast but you end up loving her cause she's just too cute. Also you end up falling in love with the family and friends of both Lee Gun & Kim Mi-Young as all the tears and joys are shared on different levels but all seem to make full circle.
This is one of my favorite romantic Kdrama's and I think it fits in the same charm level as 'Master's Sun' & 'Secret Garden'. But if I'm fair I loved 'Secret Garden' & 'Master's Sun' a wee bit more cause it had that supernatural thang. Also if you have a fear for snails even the animated ones with eyeballs...you'll be fine..I am scared to death when it comes to snails so I know lol.
Also I love the music..every time Ailee came up my eyes got all teary at some point that song almost kept me awake all night =_=. Kya this drama made me laugh and cry so much again. Every time I watch kdrama my hubby is eyeballing me cause he can't tell if I'm having a bad day or if I'm watching kdrama lol.
