Though it was short and you obviously hadn't seen all the episodes, I do agree with the points you made in your review of the Master's Sun. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that it didn't make any sense that she'd still be scared of the ghosts despite having seen them for years...on the other hand I wouldn't call it unbearable to watch. But on the other had I am a girl.

The last two episodes dragged a lot. There really wasn't a need for an extra episode, really. The main mystery was already resolved so there wasn't much to build on upon there. They should have used the time to explore Tae Gong Shil's past a bit more instead of adding all of the fluff of the various couples. It's a shame that the male character got all of the character development, but the main female did not. Also, it was just a tad bit weird that once the case of Cha Hee Joo was solved, it was never mentioned again, despite it having a large bearing in the story and Joong Won. I also feel like the guy who supposedly knew Tae Gong Shil's past was such a throwaway character. He barely interacted with her at all. Wouldn't he technically know more about her than the CEO? That was a big missed opportunity there on the writer's part.

It's really not that hard once you've watched enough dramas. For me it was bout fifty or so. After a while you notice that they're just saying a lot of the same things over and over again. I definitely can't understand medical dramas and stuff yet though. And yup I am quite glad I have this site to communicate with fellow drama fans like me. :)

It was a pretty okay drama. There wasn't anything horribly original and pretty much all of the plot twists we have seen many times before. But, it certainly wasn't bad and the guys are cute.

You know in Japanese/Korean dramas mostly people in their twenties play high school students....good example is Hana Yori Dango.

You can get it from Asiatorrents hardsubbed. The translation is pretty bad though and the subs have errors. :/

Lol why is the Korean poster there?

Didn't notice that some of the guys are Asian? lol

I will give credit where credit is due. Glad there is a diverse cast. But is this the entire cast? I know Tsukushi is missing, but what about her little brother, her parents, and Shizuka, who I would say is a very important character in the series? Will the three girls who bullied Tsukushi be included or are they supposed to be those two girls included in this list? Also, since it is following manga, will Tsukushi's other friend, Kazuya be included as well? And what about Domyouji's sister?

I did not specifically ask how much the rights cost, I just assume that they would be quite expensive since the original series is so hugely popular. And information regarding the rights to certain works isn't necessarily confidential. For example, when Stephanie Meyer sold the movie rights to Twilight, that was made public knowledge. Same thing for J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter and so forth. To give an example similar to your project, it was announced years ago that Warner Bros. owned the rights to produce a live action remake of Akira. I am going to assume that your company does not have the rights (or just have not obtained them yet) and are changing the story just enough to avoid any legal ramifications. Gotcha. And I'm not trying to be negative, just asking a legitimate question that would be of concern to any fan of the original. :)

Okay I found it. Thanks!

I have a question. Since this series is considered to be a classic, have you purchased the rights to re-make the series for an American viewing audience? I can imagine that would be fairly expensive. Secondly, you say that this adaption is supposed to follow the manga closely. I read the entire manga. But you have stated that it will be set in a grad school, not a high school, that the main character will be a dancer, and that you will be adding in different background characters. With those changes alone, you have already strayed very far from the original. The very essence of the series relies on behavior prominent in high school, like bullying and cliques among students. How will you capture the essence of the original story with these changes? And lastly, since this is supposedly a remake of the original Japanese manga, have you contacted the original mangaka and gotten her blessing?

Anyone know where I can watch episode 2? I don't need subs so raw is fine. I looked on d-addicts, asiatorrents and googled...I found episode one on dailymotion but can't find the second one.

Awww you're a seasoned vet, not an old hag. ^^

That movie has been on my to watch list for a while. Guess I should get around to it. ^^ And wow twenty years ago. You're a vet!

Thanks for the friend request! Funny thing is I haven't seen the movie Tampopo yet...I just like dandelions. XD And yay someone else who read the Hana Yori Dango manga. :3

Can't believe this guy's 28...

I think things like soju and ramen are more staples of the culture, not the dramas.

It reminds me of the Simpsons when Homer used the chloroform on himself...lol

I would say it's worth watching. It has the typical k-drama plot structure (rich CEO with a dark past and poor quirky girl meet each other, fall in love) but I'd say it is still entertaining to watch. This is the first k-drama in a while that has kept me watching continuously. And it has the supernatural element which I think is cool and sets it apart from the rest.
