I think AHS's acting just a minor problem. You get (not counting the final episode) the same plot & dialog as the original's, but there is nothing good from this drama being Korean, no Korean touch, or anything like that. You get an inferior version of the same thing. It's inferior music, inferior chemistry, inferior cinematography, inferior emotional impact.
Why is everyones obsessed with the TAIWANESE series. Like they are forcing upon the ones who haven't watched it.…
>Obviously directors and producers / casting manager know well who to cast and who shouldn't be casted.
If that were true LMH or SH would have never been cast as main leads, not in a million years. The goal is not to make the best drama they can make, but to bring in as many fans as possible. Star Brand Reputation Rankings are far more important than acting skill, especially for male leads. Based on the first episode AHS did alright, he is slowly improving & while he is not the most talented actor, he definitely puts in the hard work & enthusiasm into acting, I have only respect for him, still I would have preferred someone else, since this is not just your average romcom.. Then again his visuals and age fit very well, so maybe I overestimate the acting pool the producers had the opportunity to pick from, who knows. (twenty something established name who fits, I'm ashamed to say I cannot think of anyone else right now)
Seems like the normal 2 minute happy ending thing. The original drama had a similarly short, albeit very different ending, but with the extra scene it was very satisfying, no such luck here, though I just briefly "looked" at what's going on, since I thought I already knew the plot anyway, but the last episode looks alien to me.
I have a hard time tolerating how cdramas deal with sub-adult romances, so in this show how many episodes does it take for the characters to enter the college years?
New drama, rated 8.7... " .. oh no It's Kim So Hyun! I like her, but her dramas always feature super strong love triangles, because she only takes scripts.. "
Are my preconceptions wrong, can a triangle hater enjoy this? How is the romance?

Sure, because Blue Birthday is somewhere in between heavily inspired by and being an unofficial adaptation of Someday or O.D..
