Hana Kimi Taiwanese Version In ABS-CBN
Hana Kimi, or better known as Hanazakari no Kimitachi e in Japanese. This Taiwanese TV Series is based on the actual manga, created by Hisaya Nakajo.
Plot Summary
Hana-Kimi centers on Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the competitors, Izumi Sano, competing in the high jump. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Japan to attend the same school that Sano attends. There is a catch, however—Sano attends an all-boys high school, named Osaka Gakuen, and Mizuki must disguise herself as a boy to enter.
Soon, she is accepted as a normal student, but after sustaining an injury to the head, her gender is discovered by Mei Tian - the gay school health official - and Quan (whom she does not realize knows her secret). Mei Tian becomes her confidant, but Quan keeps Rui Xi's secret to himself in order to protect her identity and keep her by his side. Jin Xiu Yi(Jiro Wang) begins to question his own sexuality when he finds himself attracted to this new student, whom he believes to be male.
They all become great friends and overcome many obstacles along the way, such as the interschool competition where Rui Xi was harassed by fellow students in the No. 1 dormitory, Xiu Yi's accustion of cheating and several other times when Rui Xi's identity was at stake. The main couple, Rui Xi and Quan, fall deeper into love without noticing over the course of the series.
