Hana-Kimi Episode 1 Reactions
Since I didn't know how to finish this month🤷♀️🤷♀️, I decided to go with this Japanese drama as some sort of dessert! It's short, the episodes aren't too long, and it has that old-school charm. I miss those vibes when I could forgive anything with the argument "It's old!"😁The first episode was exactly what I expected: cliché, cringy, and over-the-top. The interactions were exaggerated😂, and the acting was overly dramatic for comedic effect. But you know what? That won't stop me from watching the second episode😉!

I'm very pleased with the first episode of Hana Kimi. I haven't read the manga, but am quite familiar with gender-bender stories. Gender-bending is one of my favorite tropes, and Hana Kimi has handled it very tastefully thus far.
I've found that a common trait within Japanese (and sometimes other asian) dramas is overacting. This can add to the charm of a show, or completely destroy it. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing in this first episode and Horikita Maki isn't overdoing it. As a matter of fact, she seems to be one of the more level headed cross-dressing characters I've come across. I'm excited to see what the rest of the series brings!

Just finished watching the first episode and I LOVE it! It was way over the top, but in a way that didn't seem to get old. Jumped right on to the second episode and it hasn't seem to skip a beat for me.
The humor seems to be nothing new, but it's presented in a very bizarre and stylistic manner.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.... and hopefully MORE OSCAR!
