I guess it was just yesterday, when I was introduced to this Japanese drama(?), Hana Kimi. First I was very skeptical with the story and pondered whether I should try it out by watching it or just passing it along. But, as much time I was provided after having done with all the midterm, I just thought of giving it a try. So here it went. Story was based on a ridiculous settings where a school accepted students for their looks rather than grades. So I assume they are some kind of a private school. This video kind of reminded me of 'Flower over Boys' a korean re-made movie originating from a japanese comic book. But after all, This too is a Japanese drama. Anyhow, I was somewhat interested into the whole drama because of the fact that it dealt with Track and more so over, a high jump, my event :] (Unfortunately, I wasn't so talented with it) Anyhow after over 2 days of watching the videos (well not consecutively) I finally got done with it. It was like 12 episodes overall and I think it was like 1 hour per episode? -_- so i guess i pretty much spent 12 hours on these. The video was introduced to me through the url (http://www.mysoju.com/hana-kimi/) and I guess it was pretty worth awhile.

That drama sounds pretty interesting lol. Being accepted into a school for your looks? Well those boys must have a high self esteem haha. I jus started watching a drama recently over the spring break too since I have the time lol. It is called Kurosagi and it is about how this one guy became a professional swindler because his family got messed up by one and so now he swindles other professional swindlers. I started watching it cuz my grandparents were watching it on tv one night and I jus so happened to be watching lol :p. I have come to realize tho that most Japanese Dramas only go up to 11 or 12 ep -_-... Sometimes I wish they made more cuz it seems a little short.
