At Hisaya Nakajo's homepage and the official twdrama website, you can see the casting. I'm not at all familiar with any of the actors or actresses. I don't think I've watched any twdrama all the way through.

Anyway, episode 1 of uh, is there a chinese nickname for that title? Hana-Kimi twdrama was hmmm...blaah. Ella, the actress playing Mizuki, is some sort of popular pop singer, but she isn't very cute as a girl or boy for a main character. The moment her character sees 'Sano' was quite cheesy and there was pretty bad, cheap music. Mizuki really appears like a dumpy boy instead of cute. The eyebrows and her weird facial expressions seem to negate the cute. 'Sano' and 'Nakatsu' look the parts in the promo posters, but eh, they aren't all that..where're the Johnnys when you need them? 'Umeda-sensei' is waaaaaaay off. First, he looks like a high schooler and he doesn't pull off the cool, gay doctor at all. Overall, it's a pretty cheap interpretation of Hana-kimi, but if you liked the tw versions of Marmalade Boy or Peach Girl, you might like this (since the production reminds me of those shows). In my opinion, the music was bad, the acting mediocre and the character representation poor. The comedic moments also made me cringe. Maybe I'm not used to tw pop culture enough.

Hopefully, this drama will keep the Hana-Kimi interest alive enough for an anime or jdrama to be created.

Yes, twdrama is bad bad bad. I think I've only watched 2 all the way through? (toast boy's kiss and meteor garden)

Ella is a member of S.H.E. - girl group from Taiwan that is super duper popular in Asia (or at least China and Taiwan?). She is supposed to be the spunky tomboy of the group. She does look like a boy though ... Don't recognize any of the guys though. They all look rather young.

Chinese title translates to "Flowery boys and girls", so I don't think there's a shortcut :)

It was interesting to see one episode, but it wasn't very good. Ella totally looks like a young boy, but not a cute one. It'd be hard to believe that any guy would fall in love with her character.
