I always felt You're beautiful was a rehash of loads of shoujou mangas, Hana Kimi included. :P

Yeah, You're Beautiful didn't remind me of Hana Kimi either. They're too different. I wish To The Beautiful You was more like Hana Kimi, lol. I don't know why they said "lets remake a manga" and then cut half of what makes the manga the manga, out.

I found most remake of a manga usually take the general plot and twist it so it fits better/makes more sense as a live action. Also in terms of drama the amount of money spent on production is far greater than the manga, and there is just so much in the manga that it wont fit into the drama

They were things that they could've added to TTBY without making it too stupid. Like, dial it down a bit, but still have it there. They did try it in the early episodes (the rivalry), but then just gave up. With TTBY, i feel like hardly anything actually happens, because it's all focused on the main 3. I wanted more of the school and the other characters. If they have the same ending that they did in the Japanese ones, with everyone saying goodbye to her, it's going to be ridiculous because she never spends any time with anyone other than Taejoon and Eungyul so why would the rest of them even care that she's leaving?

** At least in Hana Kimi the girl had a feasible reason for wanting to come to the school (she felt responsible for causing Oguri Shun to get injured whilst rescuing her from muggers in USA) so she comes to his school in Japan to help him get back into athletics….This part of the story was omitted from the Korean version, so there was no real reason for Jae Hee to come to Korea other than she had a schoolgirl crush on Tae Joon, this was a totally lame and flawed concept. If that was the case most school girls would track down their idols & stalk them merrily to their hearts content. We all have people we admire or look up to but we don’t think the logical step is to insinuate ourselves into their lives by any method possible.
The bulk of the drama had no real story, nothing really happened. Also there wasn’t much chemistry between the main leads, it all seemed forced and awkward, such a shame when there was so much potential.
I thought Jae Hee was inconsiderate towards Eun Gyeol to the point of being cruel she should have told him the truth about herself when he confessed his feelings for her.
One other point which I disliked about the last episode when she gets found out for being a girl she just wanders around the school like its not a big deal lol but yet she cannot spare the time to go & see Tae Joon jump at the competition. Why do the writer's make the heroines vapid and selfish?
Also the students/teachers/staff no one is that angry at being deceived like this, and there are no repercussions for her ...ridiculous. ** But this is Kdramas after all ….anything does :D

I don't know, my rational part tells me it wasn't really good, but then my feelings tell me that they loved it, so I did love it, with all its cheesiness and fluffiness and random scenes :D
