Taiwanese drama Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu (花样少年少女) is based on Hisaya Nakajo’s Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (花ざかりの君たちへ イケメン♂パラダイス, For You in Full Blossoms or Hana-kimi). I picked it up after I see the box lying around. And once I start watching it, I just couldn’t really stop. I took me about 16 hours to finish the whole series. Well, the story goes this way.
Lu Rui Xi 盧瑞希 (Ella Chen) lives in America and falls in love with high jumper Zuo Yi Quan 左以泉 (Wu Zun) she saw on television in a news segment. Determined to meet the man in the television, Rui Xi went on a strict diet regime and flew all the way to Taiwan and enrol herself in the same school as Yi Quan (AKA Quan).
It is an all-male school. Yeah, she blended in by disguising herself as a boy.
Rui Xi met the slightly off-frequency and comical Jin Xiu Yi 金秀伊 (Jiro Wang) who eventually got fiercely attracted to Rui Xi and starts to doubt his sexuality.
Of course, Rui Xi falls in love with Quan.
Rui Xi’s brother (Lin Jun Jie) came to visit her in Taiwan without knowing her sister enrols herself in a boys school. Would she be able to continue the clearly forbidden relationship?
Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu (HYSNSN) is one of the teenage idol drama churn out by Taiwanese media companies to bank on or increase popularity of the cast. It’s not the first time I watch these idol drama (’cause it’s actually my second time), it’s got the usual romance, comedy, ridiculous plot and manga origins. What that makes Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu stand out is the comic relief provided by Ella Chen, Jiro Wang and the wacky classmates. The overly-exaggerated acting is quite hairstanding at first, but things got better after watching about 5 episodes.
The pace of the drama is just right although I felt that the ending is slightly rushed with unaddressed issues after watching the whole series. I rate HYSNSN 4 out of 5. I quite enjoyed it but thought Wu Zun’s (吴尊 Wu Chun or Wu Zun is born in Brunei) acting has room for improvement.
