It stars Ella Chen, Wu Chun and Jiro Wang and it's one of those romantic comedy TV series that people like me would definitely like. A friend of mine has been a huge fan of Wu Chun and when I told her that he is indeed good looking, I still prefer Zhou Jie Lun over him. She laughed and said it's a good thing so there won't be any competition between us. LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA. Anyways, Hana Kimi follows the story of Lu Ru Xi who went to all the trouble of going to an ALL BOYS school in Taiwan just so she could be with her idol, Quan who is a high jump athlete.
