Synopsis
The series centers on Goo Jae Hee, a Korean girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Kang Tae Joon. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Korea to attend the same school that Tae Joon attends after he suffers an accident that could potentially end his career. There is a catch, however: Tae Joon attends an all-boys high school and Jae Hee must disguise herself as a boy to enter.

Note
The drama is based on the Japanese shoujo manga "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e" (花ざかりの君たちへ) by Hisaya Nakajo. The literal translation is "For You In Full Blossom". The manga is also known as Hana Kimi, which was published by Hakusensha from 1996 to 2004.

This Korean series is the fourth television drama adaptation of the manga following the Taiwanese Hanazakari no Kimitachi e in 2006, the Japanese Hanazakari no Kimitachi e in 2007 and its remake in 2011.

SM Entertainment as drama production revealed on March 10, 2011 that they signed a contract that gave them the publication rights for its drama production and the drama planned to begin airing in summer 2011, but due to several problems with the casting of the lead actors and other supporting roles, production of the drama has been delayed.
