Hana Kimi Ikemen Paradise vs. Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu
It seems I'm the only one who on first seeing Hana Kimi Ikemen Paradise don't like it very much. Japan has so many beautiful young talents but it all seems like the production team has got a knack in chosing the most ugly ones instead (perhaps they could only afford one JE boy, but even Ikuta Toma is not one of the pretty JE boys).
But apart from the missing pretty, they have changed the plot around. And not only for the sake of live action realization. No, if I hadn't known that this was actually Hana Kimi, I wouldn't have recognized it.
I think they wanted to make it more mature - but the whole manga is not mature, folks. The whole story works because it is so out there and cracktastic. I don't see that yet with Hana Kimi Ikemen Paradise(JPN).
As for Maki as Mizuki - she has a more cute quality than Ella as Rui Xi and yet, I prefer Ella with her outrageous facial expressions. You can actually see her as a cutish boy whereas Maki is sporting breasts more than once in the first ep. You can actually see she is a girl and now they want to pull it off Sano won't recognize it? Oh pluuuueaaaaaaze!
