Hana Kimi adaptation pics

[dangermousie]

One of my most anticipated upcoming doramas is Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu a Taiwanese adaptation of one of my favorite mangas, Hana Kimi about Mizuki, a girl who cross-dresses as a boy in order to go to the all-boys school that her idol, high jumper, Sano Izumi goes to

Is that Ella from SHE playing Mizuki? I thought she was cute in The Rose.

And you gave me a start when I saw the sixth pic you posted. The guy on the right beside Wu Zun looks a wee bit like Joe Cheng (but only in this shot) *lol* must.get.over.my.obsession :D

Yes, it's Ella. she looks really right for the part.

a wee bit like Joe Cheng (

heeeee.

But it's true :)

As for Ella, wow she sure cuts her hair for her roles. I know she wears it shorter than her group members, but this time it is even shorter than in Rose.
I am so looking forward to HK.

Yeah, I was reading people bashing her because she isn't girly enough for HK and my reaction was...OMG, are you CRAZY? She is supposed to be able to pass for a guy!

Yeah I heard that too and was like: WTF? I would have looked for a girl who looked even more like a boy than Ella. But I think she will do a fantastic job if she doesn't screw up her face too much. That was something that I didn't like in The Rose - sometimes she looked like a constipated puppy.

Heh.

The thing is, Mizuki in the manga is supposed to look like a girly, feminine, pretty boy. But a boy. So getting someone who so clearly looks like a girl would have been odd.

Icon! Cracks me up.

[scottishlass]

Yeah I know. When I first saw the manga it immediately reminded me of a friend of mine who has a beautiful girly face but is a guy. He would make a wonderful Mizuki in reverse. :)

I needed some more Joe Cheng and I thought he looked adorable in this scene.
