First impressions

I watched just some episodes of the japanese drama and didn't like much so I was looking forward to how korean version would be like. Honestly I got a little bit diappointed. Yeah i know they wanted to stick to the original as much as possible but i still expected it to be korean...Well yes there are differences but the girl...her character is just unrealistic and unbelievable. If you look closely then her mantal development stopped at the age of 6... It even shows in the way ppl handle her. This bold teacher speaks with her like with a child. Always smile and praise the child if it is happy about an accomplishment. Maybe I just watched too many dramas with a older female lead, about buiseness and wedding so that I can't accept stereotypical comedy characters anymore, but I still think she is too weird. Not only that, the actress face doesn't fit into the role too. No matter from which angle I look at her, she does always look like a woman in her 30th with a child...
I was also kinda disppointed to see Go Gyeong Pyo in this kind of role. I liked him in Flower boys Next Door and I loved him in Potato Star as a handsome CEO in suit. The more shocked I was to see him as a wannabe rockstar with this ugly hair >_< and derp-ish character. <i just think it does not suit him at all.
BUT I was positively surprised by Joo wons acting. At first I thought it wouldn't look good him making all those jerk-ish derp-ish expressions but how come they look so natural? Haha :D I like his reactions. About his character: in the japanese version I got the the feeling of a fierce character (but I must say I didn't watch all the episodes!) and in here Joo Wons character is fat first dismissive but then he turn so cute and caring^^
But these are really just the mostly prejudicing first impresions. I belive the will change :)
