'To The Beautiful You' Airs this Summer on ABS-CBN

The Korean version of the hit Hana Kimi has finally arrived in the Philippines. Titled To the Beautiful You, this much-awaited Koreanovela airs this summer on ABS-CBN.

Based on the Japanese shōjo manga series, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (For You in Full Blossom), written by Hisaya Nakajo, To the Beautiful You is the fourth television adaptation of the manga following the Taiwanese (starring Wu Chun and Ella Chen) and Japanese versions in 2006 and 2007, respectively and another Japanese remake Hanazakari no Kimitachi e in 2011.

To the Beautiful You stars Minho of SHINee, Sulli of f(x) and Lee Hyun-woo (Equator Man). The series centers on JC (Sulli), a US-based Korean girl who disguises herself as a boy just to see her idol, high jump hero, Paul John. Paul John met an accident that could potentially end his career and JC, inspired by her idol, went to the same school as Paul John to encourage him to jump again and continue his career as a high jumper.

To the Beautiful You is set to air this April on ABS-CBN Kapamilya Gold. Watch the English-subbed special Korean trailer of To the Beautiful You below:

They started as best friends and ended up as mortal enemies in life and in love. As they go face-to-face in a long overdue battle for truth, who will win and who will lose?

Beginning this Monday (Sep 10), ABS-CBN premieres another intense story about a man looking for the light of justice amidst his blindness in 2012’s most thrilling Korean drama “Equator Man” (watch the full tagalized trailer here).

Follow the story of Samuel and Jeric, two different individuals who will form a bond of friendship despite their differences— Samuel is the strong, laid back one, while Jeric is the smart and anti-social. The two will unexpectedly get along and become the best of friends. Their friendship, however, will be challenged and destroyed by fate.

Due to compromising circumstances, Jeric’s father accidentally kills Samuel’s guardian. The incident will lead to an altercation between the two unknowing friends, where Jeric ends up hitting Samuel in the head. Jeric then disposes of Samuel’s body by pushing it over a cliff, but the latter managed to survive.

Samuel wakes from unconsciousness only to find out he has lost his sight. He continues his mission to seek justice for his father with the help of Gian, a volunteer reader for visually impaired people who will offer to help him and serve as his eyes.

Fate draws Samuel and Jeric together once more as Jeric carries on his personal mission to hide the truth from a former friend and fights for Gian, the woman he has loved ever since.
