Japanese TV Shows - Good-looking Guys Paradise + Shinkansen Girl

Niyusu · (#1 (**permalink**))

Some high schools are famous for producing star athletes, but the fictitious Sakurazaki Gakuen is known for one thing and one thing only: cute Japanese boys. Sakurazaki is the setting for the new Fuji TV series "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e: Ikemen Paradise (To You Who Are in Full Bloom: Good-looking Guys Paradise)" starring Maki Horikita.

Also, the next time you ride the shinkansen (Japanese bullet train), be extra nice to the young women who push the snack and drink carts down the aisle. Their job is a lot more difficult than you might think, as shown in the two-hour Japanese television summer drama special "Shinkansen Girl"...

Hana Kimi has been ok so far. A lot of people have been comparing it to the Taiwanese one but I'm trying not to

To be honest, in the beginning I only watched it because Oguri Shun was in it. (He's amazingly beautiful >_>; ) and I didn't really like the girl. But after watching the drama "Nobuta wo Produce" I've started to like it more. It's pretty funny too XD

But the story behind why he can't jump anymore was rather silly... Wasn't it?
I haven't watched the Taiwanese version, and I don't think I ever will XD;

I think Maki (lead character) is doing a very good job, but I agree with you she's not amazingly interesting to watch. HAHA Shun on the other hand is, but I do really wish he would lighten up a bit more.

In the Taiwanese version he is knocked down by a car whilst trying to save his best friend, then decided the pressure is too much for him to go back. I think they should have maybe kept that storyline as it didnt make much sense in this one D:

Ugh, I agree. That storyline is way better than the one they decided to go with. Just way too cheesy, which sort of kills the seriousness. >__<
