To The Beautiful You.

Synopsis

To the Beautiful You is a K-Drama based on a J-Drama based on a Japanese manga (called Hana Kimi). It's your basic high scool crossdreassing heroine story (there are tons of these in Asian media and in shakespeare, oddly enough) with a girl who dresses like a boy to attend an all-boys high scholl and compete in athletic events. She falls in love with a boy who eventually figures out that she's a girl, and wacky hijinks ensue.

Our show begins with high jumper Taejoon (played by Minho of the K-pop band SHINee) competing in some kind of teen Olympic event, and his hard work lands him the gold medal.
In America, a girl named Jaehee (Sulli of the K-pop band f(x)) watches Taejoon jump. His performance leads her to make the drastic decision to cut off her hair. Our little Jaehee is so in love with Taejoon that she is going to impersonate a boy so she can enroll in his all-male school and be near him.

At her destination, a place called Genie (!) Athletic High School (??!!!?), a soccer player named Eungyul is shown to be so popular that he tweets pictures of himself after practices, and his female followers coo over every shot. As Jaehee walks up to the front gates of her new school, a mob of young ladies blocks the gate, hoping for a glimpse of superstar athlete Taejoon as his chauffeur drives him and his manager to school. A gym teacher literally uses a giant stick to peel the girls away from the bus.

Jaehee herself meets her high-jumping dreamboat when her suitcase falls open and Taejoon happens to retrieve her underwear. Jaehee panics that she'll be discovered, but it's clear that Taejoon doesn't care what weird stuff the newly transferred "boy" has packed away in his suitcase. Oh dear, is Taejoon going to be one of those painfully incurious heroes who takes forever to understand anything?

Eungyul plays Mr. Exposition and explains to Jaehee that there are three dorms on campus, and each dorm is in a fierce competition against the others. I love this! Seems like it could be fodder for a lot of funny, enjoyable conflicts. Next, Eungyul leads Jaehee to her ridiculously spacious dorm room seriously, this place is as big as my first three dorm rooms combined with my first two apartments.Genie High really takes care of their freshmen!

And it's revealed that Jaehee's roommate in this decadent palace will be none other than Taejoon! Our Hijinks Potential just went through the roof. But Taejoon's subplot of the story is actually rather serious right now. He doesn't want to high jump ever again, but he's in danger of losing all his endorsement deals soon, and his bossy father wants to make him get back in the game.
