A lot of the chaebol heiresses can be pretty terribly dressed too, lol. Just goes to show, money does not equal style.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Weightligting Fairy is one of my favorite dramas, and I actually really love her non-athletic wardrobe. I think it was super cute, and it shows that she's not just an athlete. She has a delicate, feminine side too, and I really like that about her character.

They may not make the characters look very good in most people's eyes, but they tell you something about a character. They give a character personality.

Song Ji Won would NEVER go on a worst-dressed list. Not on my watch, lol.

I've only watched Playful Kiss, but I don't remember her outfits being too terrible. Just kind of early to mid 2000's...meh. Had Marry Him If You Dare on my to-watch list, but all the bad reviews and That Hair made me decide to stay away, lol.

Oh goodness, it's been years since I watched Goong, so I don't remember what dress you are talking about. Half of the pictures I used here are from the dramalist page as it was difficult finding good photos of Chae Kyung's outfits online without having to go through the actual episodes somewhere and take screenshots myself, and honey-child, I was NOT going to do that. Nooooooo thank youuuuuuu.

I dress for comfort 99.9% of the time, so I feel you, lol.

Her style is personally not my thing, and I didn't really get it at the time (I thought it was ugly, to be honest), but everyone else seemed to love her look. Looking back at her wardrobe now, I've come to like and appreciate it a lot more. I actually plan on doing a Get the Look article for her at some point in the future.

The only thing I can think of is the drama was pre-produced, so all the episodes were already filmed before airing, and maybe they decided to go ahead and release the rest in Japan early because of the coronavirus stuff. That and there's most likely a season 2 planned, because episode ten appears to take us up to the halfway point of the original drama, and they definitely aren't going to end the entire remake there, because that makes no sense.

Ok, so I'm getting confused about the episodes as well. Obviously, episode 7 isn't the end. The events in this version are only at the halfway point in the original, and the end date air date is April 15th, so there's obviously more to go. But everyone keeps talking about the last three episodes being up on some places already and then suddenly not being up, and now I'm on Fuji TV's website, and they have no information on this drama almost like it doesn't exist, so I'm starting to get a little worried that something's going on with this drama? I hope not, because I've been enjoying it.

That's the thing that's so frustrating about it. This could have been a decent production despite the budget.

I totally forgot about her being a dancer. I'm not sure that that is specifically western in appeal though. Lots of dramas have had female leads and second leads who are dancers. Although I didn't realize there were so many dance themed movies and shows coming out in America at that time, so I guess they could have been taking advantage of that.

I agree that there was no way they were going to get Hollywood interested in this production though. Western audiences were not ready for this sort of content. But I think they're definitely ready for it now. Especially if it's on Netflix since they've been beefing up their drama content for awhile now and have a sizable number of original content dramas.

Thank you for reading! Glad you enjoyed the article.

Yeah, I linked all of the old Mydramalist articles at the bottom of this article including that one. https://kisskh.at/article/2013/09/21/boys-over-flowers-american-remake-ask-your-questions Unfortunately, from what I can tell, they didn't try any sort of marketing like this until After trying a kickstarter. Not really the right order of things.

I think a big part of it was that people thought they had to call their works manga or anime if they shared similar art styles or took any inspiration from them, etc. or they had some kind of unhealthy over-attachment to the Japanese terminology and to manga and anime as a medium. But manga and anime are basically the same thing as cartoons and comics/graphic novels. Different terminology and art styles and storytelling for different parts of the world but still the same general concept of telling a story through art.

I don't know that it's totally fair to hate on TokyoPop for giving US-based writers/artists the opportunity to publish their work, but I do think it would have been better for them to create a graphic novels imprint or something instead and advertise the works alongside their manga.

I assume you mean Joseph Almani? I'd personally like to see some proof to back up his claim, as there was nothing I came across in my research to support it, but I suppose it's always possible. I would honestly love to interview some of the people involved with the show, but I think it's highly unlikely any of them would ever see this article or that I would ever be able to track most of them down.

Saved yourself a lot of time, lol.

Yeah, it was never finished. I believe they made 6 episodes before the whole thing shut down.
