She begins to idolize him, and decides to move to Japan to attend the same school as him. However, Izumi goes to an all-boys school, so Mizuki disguises herself as a boy to achieve her dream of being with her idol. Toma plays the part of Shuichi Nakatsu, a classmate and friend of Mizuki and Izumi. -- Tokyograph

    i wonder why the japanese versions always come out after the taiwanese, even though the stories were from the japanese mangas.

    sucks, i don't know any of the casts, wait...except for the guy from hana yori. so, are these casts good enough for the series? i think it will be shorter than the taiwanese one, since japanese series are always shorter than others.

    Yes it will definitely be shorter than the TW series, Jdrama usually runs for around 11 episodes.

    Still not sure what to make of the cast at the moment, but I can say for certain that I am already starting to dislike Horikita Maki as Miyuki, I don't think that image is really in sync with how Miyuki is in the manga.

    Kimura Ryo as Nakao... hmm... I don't think he's pretty enough to play Nakao.

    Why do Sano has to wear earing? ...
    Spring Summer Autumn Winter.
    Pair ducks nest fly together.
    Clemencies. Summer life, feather winter white.
    Green meadow in spring, before the autumn bite.
    Watching the red gown.
    And none else, alone.

    Why? Does he not wear one in the manga? Sometimes I'm glad I don't read the mangas from which such stories are adapted and therefore have little to no expectations about what the characters "should" be like. Sure it may be ignorant, but also kinda blissful too.

    I guess it really is more blissful for folks who do not have any exposure to the manga before watching the dramas adaptation. There really is no way for the live action series to ever match up with the original manga version, sometimes it is also difficult for the anime version to match up to the original manga version. Manga readers can't help it but do comparisons really, not trying to be elitist or anything but comparisons just happen naturally.

    Nope. He doesn't wear any body jewelry. He has a nice hair cut, clean face and good looking too But than I hope Oguri cover it with his acting.

    I don't always like manga more than live-action version. I don't like Hana Yori Dango manga, it's too lame, I don't like the taiwanese version either, although the boys looks better. I much prefer the japanese version any day, even the story is a lot silly

    Seen Horikita Maki in several drama. Good actress....but not to crazy about her. (like when seeing Inoe Mao.... it was love at first sight.... in terms of speaking...). Let's see if she can pull this off.

    Lady Zhuge ~ is that Toshiaki Karasawa on your avatar??? one of my fave.

    I think Kimura Ryo is cute in a Jia Baoyu kind of way. But maybe that's because he reminds me of Ouyang Fen Qiang, the Jia Baoyu actor from the 1987 CCTV adaptation of Hong Lou Meng.

    HAHAHA...you're right, it does seem like it. everyone in the poster has cool hair, their hair styles stand out more than they do. i would like to have this poster if i own a salon.

    I think with all the cool hairstyle, Horikita Maki won't stand out looking too girlish compare to the other guys. in fact, it took me a little while to point her out in the picture.

    Last time I was in Tokyo, I noticed that all the guys (young guys) had hair that looked like they just came out from salon. It sure left a lasting impression for me.

    Lol, yeah. Well either that or a commercial for mops and feather dusters.

    Maki certainly does blend in well. At first I wondered if she was even in the picture.
